“Relaxing beach stay!”
Location on the beach was great. They had beach chairs/umbrellas/towels for guests use, which was a lovely extra! A man cleans your car every morning, another nice touch! Lady at reception was very nice, giving us some good recommendations of restaurants / things to do locally

“Lovely place in a beautiful location”
Lovely location right on the beach, slightly shabby but understand hotel is closing soon for a major refurbishment. No restaurant for an evening meal, but 5 minutes walk across the beach to a lively restaurant/bar. Milkwood Staff were lovely and friendly, breakfast in the morning was delicious. Very good value.

“A perfect stay in a piece of paradise beside the sea !”
Breakfast at Milkwood was super and tasty. That they were equipped for gluten free option was great ! The location to Lookout Beach was perfect, it is a pure Gem right on the seashore. A huge credit to Beverly for her knowledge of the area and suggestions of restaurants nearby was spot on - Thank you

Excellent location next a lagoon and beach. It’s a short walk to the centre, but all uphill! The bird life around the lagoon is amazing
