A quiet start to the day beside the lagoon. Low tide has opened up the beach, and October has given us one of those bright, clear Knysna days 💙

Some places become part of the family story.

For many of our guests, Under Milkwood isn’t a once-off holiday. It’s somewhere they return to over the years, often with children who grow up knowing the same timber chalets, beach and lagoon.

That familiarity is a big part of what makes Under Milkwood special to us too.
Here’s to the places we come back to. 🌿

A closer look at Curlew 🌿

Curlew is our one-bedroom chalet at Under Milkwood, ideal for two guests looking for an easy self-catering stay close to the lagoon.

Its warm timber interior and open kitchen and living area give it that familiar Under Milkwood chalet feel, with your own deck outside for enjoying the Knysna air.

If Curlew is the chalet you have in mind, you can select it specifically when booking directly through our website, or contact our team and we’ll be happy to assist.

A little taste of Knysna 🍺🌿

One of the pleasures of travelling is discovering what is made locally.

Here in Knysna, that includes small-batch b**r, gin made with botanicals from the surrounding Garden Route, and honey liqueur produced right here in town.

Our newest Journal post introduces three local producers and some of the stories and ingredients behind what they make.

If you enjoy seeking out something local when you travel, this one is for you.

Heritage Day braai (BBQ) plans?

Alongside the usual family favourites, we’ve picked five recipes from Le Creuset South Africa to add something a little different to the table, including roasted pumpkin, harissa sweet potatoes and a dessert that brings malva pudding and milk tart together.

A market morning is an easy way to add something local to a Knysna stay.

From fresh produce and artisan bread at Wild Oats to handmade crafts, country markets and relaxed Friday evenings, there are plenty of options around Knysna, Sedgefield and the wider Garden Route.

Our latest Journal post brings them together in one guide, along with a few special spring dates worth knowing about, including Artisan Culture Knysna and the Leisure Isle Festival.

Have a look before your next weekend away:

One of the things we love about this part of the property is how the chalets sit among the trees, with the lagoon close by.

It's a lovely time to be in Knysna. The days are warming up, everything is looking greener, and the summer rush is still a little way off 🌿
