Scenic spot

Scenic spot on nice waterfront. Good swimming and canoeing available free. Some cabins on steep steps with views, others easier access with limited views. Can walk across the sands at low tide but car needed for visiting Knysna to do anything else. Small café nearby for breakfast, 2/3 miles to bars and restaurants.

What made me give less that a 10 is that I was expecting more peace, based on the pictures. Bungalows are very close together and everybody was BBquing. Holiday weekend. Hard to sleep early and even breathe, with the smoke. Other than that, perfect location

If you are ok with self catering this place is good. The only problem was parking was tight when all spaces filled you had to work hard to get small car out of allocated space

We loved this hotel. The cabins are beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and more. It is on the lagoon which is stunning and just a short drive up to the eastern head viewing point. Would definitely recommend this.

Nice hotel with beach activities

The resort was nice and had beach activities. The location of the resort is really nice and property itself is beautiful and maintained. The parking on uneven surface is tricky, otherwise parking is not an issue. You can park car just next to your chalet. Overall we liked the resort.

Possibly best location in Knysna

everything was excellent. the upgrade to the waterfront room was completely worth it. Only thing that was not OK was the WiFi. Our room had no signal or a very weak signal at best. We gave up on using it.

The place for space and relaxation on Garden Route

Lovely self-catering chalets, on the lagoon with private access to it. Well appointed chalets, bathroom and shower room, deck and barbecue facilities, easy access to shops, the town and restaurants but peaceful and easy going. Nothing on the TV so we had a DVD streamed to us. There is a small amount of free wifi, but it is available all around Knysna or you can buy extra time from Reception. We found it an excellent spot to recharge our batteries for the next round of travelling and eating.

Relaxing family holiday

Stayed on water front unit- more expensive than others but you have a patio in from with in obstructed views looking away from knysna heads over the lagoon Braai has free wood and more if you need Wi FI 100mb free on wireless which is not sufficient but a token and possibly enough - but not ideal as there were time limits etc- you can buy more if requires Kids were sick and staff helped exceptionally well to assist next day Restaurants walking distance - Senza resturant not great Fridge in unit Small heater in unit- unit a bit cold if middle of winter but I am sure if I had asked they would have brought another heater Plenty clean blankets etc 2 bathrooms in unit- I with shows one with toilet- big Units are clean and basic but more than what you need Limited Tv and very small but if you have the view not a problem I would not take a middle unit as no view Parking very cramped Beach in front of houses could get loud from other guests and off the water but we had no issues and slept well Big bonus- you have free canoes 1,2,3 seater so ideal to take kids or spouse for a paddle at high tide and walk on a huge open beach at low tide Will definitely stay again

Amazing Unforgetable Stay!!! WOW Factor

Absolutely magic location right on the lagoon beach front. Parking is a little tight BUT there is always a helpful visitor or staff member to assist. I only have one complaint and that is I booked on Trivago site and one of the major reasons I chose to got with Hotels.com although not the cheapest option I did not have to pay a deposit upfront. BUT Under Milkwood automatically deducted 50% of the booking value from my credit card. Yes they refunded it when I sent a copy of my booking conditions BUT due to Buy & Sell forex rates I was out of pocket over R120.00. When I checked out I mentioned this fact hoping that I would have been given some kind of rebate/compensation - but that was not the case. Would I go back ABSOLUTELY I can highly recommend the beachfront bungalows. Just a note that in cold windy weather they might be a bit chilly as they are delightful log cabins so not entirely airtight!!

Quiet oasis on the lagoon

Based away from the main thoroughfare of Knysna, in a quiet residential area. We had a lovely three night stay in a two bedroom cabin. The cabin was clean, spacious and very well equipped. The staff were very friendly and accomodations. Located on The Heads just a short walk to a great cafe surfing good coffee and Italian restaurant with excellent pizzas and seafood. We will return again.

Wished we had more time here

After being on the road a few days with different guest houses it was nice to be in a self catered facility that was like a comfortable home setting. Really wished to enjoy this a lot longer as it was away from the humdrum of the town and can enjoy the quiet in a lovely setting. Would highly recommend it here for families or group of friends.

Perfect location

Fantastic position, on the East Head of Knysna. 50m from a private beach. It has been described as your own piece of the Carribean which I now believe. Canoeing equipment in excellent condition and enough to share with the other guests.

Location is beautiful for these lovely chalets

We spent a week in a waterfront chalet.The rooms were nice but smaller than we expected.Everything we needed was available but as we were house hunting not having unlimited internet was a problem and not what you expect in a good hotel.Parking for our Land rover also a problem (spaces too tight) The staff were great and the servicing of the room was excellent We would recommend and we will return in the future.

Highly Recommended!

We had a fantastic time at Undermilkwood, so good we decided to stay an extra couple of nights! Staff were friendly and welcoming and the challet was well equipped and spotless. We had an upper challet (which costs a bit more than the middle ones but not as much as those right on the shoreline) and definitely worth the extra cost for the superb view across the lagoon from the large private balcony! Because the lagoon is tidal you can walk at low tide or make use of the free kayaks when it's high. If you don't want to cook there is a restaurant and great cafe 200 meters down the road - we enjoyed both. We will be staying at Undermilkwood again and highly recommend it!

Couldn't ask for more

We had a wonderful stay in Under Milkwood's honeymoon cottage, which was more like being in a beautiful treehouse, as we were suspended just above the tree canopy, overlooking Knysna lagoon. It was extremely private, even though you're in close proximity to the other self catering cottages. Every conceivable requirement was catered for and everything was in good condition. It was also within a minutes walk of their private beach. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Local belo e aprazível

Localizado em uma área de vegetação exuberante e de belas paisagens próxima ao The Heads View Point. Se você decidir ficar hospedado por aqui é recomendável que venha de carro. Como o resort fica de frente para um lago e ficamos hospedados no inverno (julho/2019), as temperaturas estavam ainda mais baixas. O único senão é que a unidade na qual ficamos não possuia sistema de aquecimento/calefação e a minha esposa reclamou muito do frio à noite.
