    The location is great with beautiful views and easy access to the beach. I loved that there was milk and spoils in the kitchen.

    Excellent location, the beach is right outside and accessible from the garden. Santie had milk for us for morning coffee and some extra spoils which made the kids super happy. The horses on the beach in the morning were a real treat!

Company info

I am committed to afford my guests a comfortable- and memorable stay. I need to stress that everyone, regardless of colour, religious- and sexual orientation, will be welcomed with open arms.

Property info

14 Penguin Place is matchless and unique in the sense that it is situated right on the beach front. All it takes is a leisurely stroll down the garden path to get on to the beach. Close your eyes and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the breakers at night.

Neighborhood info

The beauty of Melkbosstrand lies in that while retaining its small village feel, it offers many big city comforts, e g a beautiful shopping mall called The Birkenhead Centre. Here one would find Pick and Pay, Clicks, Pep Stores, Postnet, walk-in branches of Absa and Standard Bank and many more. Melkbosstrand is home to a number of highly-acclaimed restaurants. The village is self-contained in the sense that it is rarely necessary for visitors to venture further afield to buy supplies. We have a reliable My Citi bus service. Because of its windy conditions during January and February, Melkbosstrand draws water enthusiasts - especially wind surfers - from right across the world.
