Fantastic beach front hotel in Plettenberg Bay
Fantastic hotel and staff, ideal location with direct access to a wonderful, clean and virtually isolated beach!! All towels, loungers and sun brolly provided free - with a smile! Easy access to beach restaurant and bar or a 5 min drive to the centre for more bars etc... both worth a visit. Breakfast varied and delicious, bar open in the evening if you dont fancy venturing out. Worth also noting, complimentary secure parking!! Big thank you to the team at Milkwood Manor for making us feel very welcome :)

Situated right next to Lookout Beach, this is a superb hotel. The location, views, rooms, cleanliness were all first class, and the staff very welcoming and accommodating. Breakfasts are in the restaurant area, and the food very good. We were slightly out of season, so the restaurant wasn't open in the evenings - a pity because we read good reviews about it. However, there are numerous restaurants, cafes & bistros within a few minutes drive.

Perfect Christmas Eve
We had an amazing Christmas Eve at Milkwood Manor on the Sea! The guest house really took care of us and helped us with our bags, they give beach towels, and they even gave a little Christmas cake and present with the breakfast Christmas morning. The view at breakfast was amazing, and really everything about the stay was lovely! The room was great, comfy beds and great balcony with a view. Would totally recommend this place for a wonderful stay - we only regret that we had 1 night to stay.

Absolutely LOVED this accommodation! No regrets, wish we could have stayed longer. Try and get a room with a view, it’s worth it! Hotel is clean, staff is super friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and hotel was quiet. Location is amazing, right on the beach. Would highly recommend this location to anyone!

Wonderful experience
Our spacious room had a patio facing the beach. The included breakfast was more than satisfying. The staff even washed our car! We had a great experience here, and wouldn’t hesitate to book this lovely hotel again.

Room was ok but one of the smallest we had had on our trip. Restaurant not part of hotel (though does the breakfast) and was fully booked for dinner. Staff recommended one within walking distance across the beach which was great.

Great place
This manor was beautiful. It's location right on the beach would have been perfect if it was beach weather. We did take a long walk on the quiet, clean beach. The staff was friendly. A restaurant is onsite but we did not get a chance to have dinner there.

Wonderful hotel!!! Small charming hotel right on the beach. A real find!! Very comfortable rooms. Less than 20 rooms in hotel. Excellent, hospitable and personable service. Worked very hard to make us comfortable. Beautiful beach. Also on the river. Free kayaks available for hotel guests. Lemon Grass restaurant attached to hotel. (Mixed reviews on restaurant - one night excellent the following night poor). Lookout restaurant a 5 minute walk across beach. Very good. Breakfast at hotel was excellent. The hotel did everything possible to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommended!!

Fabulous Hotel
My wife and I spent two delightful nights at this outstanding property. We enjoyed the deck and in room coffee and tea. Breakfast was included and had such choices as eggs Benedict and smoked salmon as well as eggs cooked to order. The front desk person (Elisha) was very knowledgable about the surrounding area and was able to recommend great restaurants.Location was ideal for shopping and other ventures.
