Situated within sight and sound of the ocean (just one street from the beach!), approximately 20 minutes from the Cape Town city centre and 35 minutes from Cape Town International Airport, Melkbosch Guesthouse is for those who like to get out of the city but not too far from their business.
Excellent surfing and fishing spots all along this pristine stretch of beach along with the quaint restaurants and coffee shops dotted all around the area are definitely very rejuvenating to the soul!
Tuck into great seafood meals at local beachfront restaurants or quench your thirst with a yummy cocktail or two at sunset!

Area Information:Regarded as the start of the ever-growing-in-popularity Cape West Coast, Melkbosstrand is something of a village, although many regard it as a suburb of Cape Town given that it is a mere 35 kilometers outside of the city centre.
Melkbosstrand is a favourite with locals and offers hours of beach strolling, surfing, sunsets to put most sunsets to shame, and the much photographed view over Table Mountain and Robben Island.
'Melkbos' literally translates as 'milk bush' and refers to the Euphorbiaceae bushes that grow on sand dunes here, called 'melkbos' by all those familiar with the milky latex substance the plant gives off.
Whilst the village is closely tied to the romantic impression of white beaches, great seafood sold at local restaurants, and one of the most popular beaches for kite surfing, it owes its existence to a thoroughly unromantic development - the Koeberg nuclear power station - built with the help of the British and the French 6 kilometers north of Melkbosstrand, which needed housing for foreign contractors.
Melkbosstrand is nonetheless an ideal and extremely pretty base from which to explore both Cape Town and the West Coast, particularly as the Durbanville winelands are close by and the Boland Mountains, offering number of wonderful day trips through valleys hung with vines, blue skies for most of the year and mountains looming in the background.
Property Facilities:Private enclosed garden and barbeque area. Free Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout the building.

Amazing stay, great sea view and friendly staff!
Pieter and his staff were great hosts. Only reason I am not doing 5 stars is due to the rattling noise in the wind from the flag poles outside our Oyster room. Other than that, amazing breakfast, lovely facilities and well worth the cost.
Very nice guesthouse. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Service was excellent. Excellent people skills and made me feel at home.
I had a very comfortable stay and will definitely book again when I need to say in Melkbos. Thank you.
Pieter and all his friendly staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Clean and Airy bedroom with fresh linen and towels, lovely kitchen with everything one need to feel at home. Beautiful view of the beach from one of the balconies. Walking distance to all of the amenities. Pieter was very accommodating to correct our booking arrangement which was booked as bed and breakfast instead as self catering. Will definitely recommend all to stay at Melkbosch Guesthouse. We are going again!!
Had a wonderful stay, Pieter was an excellent host as were his staff, clean and within easy walking distance of the beach and restaurants. Will be back.
