The Milkwood Collection

Located at 13 George Rex Drive, Knysna, 6571, The Milkwood Collection sits on the shores of the Knysna Lagoon — a cluster of self-catering accommodation blending timber-chalet charm, beachfront access and a serene natural setting under leafy milkwood trees.

🏡 Accommodation Options

The Milkwood Collection includes a variety of accommodation types to suit different needs and budgets:

• Under Milkwood Chalets — a set of 16 cosy timber chalets nestled among the trees, ideal for couples or small families. Each chalet includes two bedrooms (double + twin), a fully-equipped kitchen, a sundeck with braai (BBQ) facilities, and access to the beach and lagoon.
• Paquita — a beachfront 3-bedroom holiday house right on the water’s edge, with a large deck, outgoing living space and direct lagoon access — perfect for families or friends wanting comfort and convenience.
• Horizon — a spacious family-sized home within walking distance of the lagoon, offering generous living areas and a relaxed holiday vibe.
• Number Eleven — a luxurious multi-level villa with sweeping lagoon views, ample space (multiple bedrooms plus extra living/TV room that can serve as a fifth bedroom), direct beach access, and high-end finishes — ideal for larger groups or special occasions.
• Milkwood Bay — an exclusive waterfront villa (available by direct enquiry) that promises luxury, privacy and panoramic views over the lagoon.

🌊 Lagoon & Natural Setting

The Collection enjoys direct access to the lagoon’s calm, shallow shores — making it ideal for safe swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding, or long beach strolls when the tide is low. Guests are often provided with complimentary kayaks and paddleboards as part of the stay. Set amidst indigenous Milkwood trees with views across water, forest and the distant Outeniqua Mountains, The Milkwood Collection balances nature, water, and comfort — a tranquil base to unwind, reconnect with the outdoors, or start a Garden Route adventure.
