We’ve now been back three times to Milkwood Bend Resort, and it just keeps getting better! 🌊🌿 This place is a true gem — a peaceful farm right next to the ocean, offering the perfect mix of countryside charm with the old renovated caravans and sea views once you walked through the “Milkwood Bend”. Everything is always clean, neat, and beautifully maintained. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming, which makes every stay feel extra special. It’s such a pleasure holidaying here — we’ll definitely be back again

Milkwood bend is an amazing small clamping place with caravans that have been done up with your own braai area and bathroom. It's a walk away from the most cleanest and stunning beach with blue waters and the fishing is amazing. I would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

We enjoyed a serene weekend at Milkwood Bend. The resort is situated in coastal forest with a rich diversity of birdlife. We also saw a blue duiker. The beach is just a short stroll away. An ideal family retreat!
