Our 1950's beach cottage is the perfect place to unwind and leave behind the stress of modern life. Although old, she is lovingly maintained showcasing the authenticity of a bygone era. Pet friendly and located 1 hour south of Durban, Banana beach is across the road and a mere 2 minute walk away. The beach is shark-net protected and a popular surf spot with lifeguards. The cottage has no direct sea view, facing inland toward our verdant garden offering protection from onshore winds. What to expect: Melville is a quiet seaside village on the South Coast adorned with holiday cottages a few permanent residents. Our cottage's interior reflects its vintage charm. The furnishings are carefully chosen to preserve the cottage's authentic character to invite you to relax and unwind. The cottage (loving referred to in our family as the banana) has a floor that slopes slightly due to movement on the sand-dune during the 50's. She is 100% stable now, but we left the crack in the floor as it is part of her history. These nuances provide a glimpse into the cottage's past and create an atmosphere brimming with stories waiting to be shared. The patio faces our tropical garden filled with blossoming vegetation and lots of areas for pets and children to explore. The soothing sound of crashing waves in the distance provide the perfect backdrop for lazy afternoons spent sipping your favorite drink or reading a book on the patio. There is a hospitality/property manager living on the property and he will welcome you on arrival. Sbu services and cleans the cottage daily so you can really take a break from everything.

We had a happy stay at Milkwood Cottage, we always do. We love the setting, garden and beautiful trees. Reminds us of our own childhood holidays . A fun relaxed holiday was had by all. Sbu a star as always. Beautiful swimming spot, picked up lovely shells on beach walks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a wonderful stay. It is so private and peaceful. Our dogs loved the massive fenced in garden. The beach is a 2 min walk away, and lots of restaurants/pubs close by. Sbu was lovely; so friendly and did an awesome job ensuring everything was clean and tidy. Will definitely be back.
Another wonderful stay. Lovely beach walks with our dogs and perfect temp swims. Relaxing home environment with peaceful trees and Birdlife.
We spent a glorious 10 days at Milkwood Cottage. Sbu look after us wonderfully and was most responsive to our requests. The cottage was beautifully and tastefully appointed with everything one could want in a holiday house. The surrounds were magical and we enjoyed daily visits from beautiful birds and a family on monkeys which were delightful. We all particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower, which was very special. Helen was an exceptional hostess, leaving us thoughtful gifts on our arrival
Melville is a quiet, relaxed suburb on the South Coast. Banana beach is a popular surf and blue flag beach.
