The Melkbosch Guest House is situated in the coastal village of Melkbosstrand,a beautiful seaside village on the north-western fringe of the Cape Town Metropolis. It is well known for its tranquility, wide white beach, water-sports and west-coast hospitality. It is an easy getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Approximately 20 minutes from the Cape Town city center and 35 minutes from Cape Town International Airport, Melkbosch Guest House is for those who like to get out of the city but not too far from their business.
Our upstairs rooms are sunny and north facing, all with en-suite bathrooms. Available in each room is a fully stocked mini bar, coffee/tea making facilities, remote controlled TV with DStv and a writing bureau. All the rooms have a private entrance and most lead onto the balcony by means of a sliding door, overlooking the private enclosed garden and barbecue/braai area. Free WiFi internet access is available throughout the building and dinner and/or lunch packs can be arranged on request.
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. Situated within sight and sound of the ocean and just one street away from the beach, what more could you ask for at the end of the day, you can enjoy the breathtaking sunsets at Melkbosstrand or dine and wine at one of the numerous quaint restaurants in the area.

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.
We had a great stay at the guesthouse. Everyone was so friendly and they made sure that we enjoyed every moment of our stay.
Was net en uit vir een aand – net daar geslaap en ontbyt gehad. Netjies, skoon en sal weer daar bly.
Ontbyt was great, plek was skoon en netjies elke dag. Parkering buite het ons angstig gemaak maar daar was geen voorvalle nie. Een van die kamers was teen ‘n steil trap – mense met klein kinders en ouer mense sal nie dit kan gebruik nie maar dan is daar ook ‘n kamer onder en die plekkie langsaan. Daar is ‘n wasmasjien vir wasgoed was en ons kon selfs ons vis stoor in die vrieskas. Elke kamer het ‘n klein selfhelp-yskassie en ons een kamer wat onder was het ‘n klein kombuisie gehad wat baie gehelp het.
The lady who does the laundry, cooking and cleaning should get an award for the best customer service. The Wi-Fi in one of our rooms was non-existent, but excellent from the other room. The view from the dining room of ocean especially at sunset was beautiful.
Baie skoon en netjies. Almal is baie hulpvaardig. Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.
We enjoyed a truly lovely time at Melkbosch Guesthouse. Helpful friendly service. Delicious breakfasts. Beautiful setting. Pieter is a brilliant host and Pop is worth gold. Thank you for a great stay.
Baie netjies en skoon met pragtige uitsig oor die see. Restaurant net om die hoek. Beste waarde vir geld. Baie dankie vir julle vriendelike diens.
Hierdie gastehuis is baie goed geleë en dis heerlik privaat met ‘n fantastiese uitsig. Gasheer is baie vriendelik maar gun jou ook privaatheid. Ontbyt was heerlik en ek voel hierdie was goeie waarde vir geld. Die huis is baie modern en skoon. Lugreëling sou die ervaring perfek gemaak het, maar die kamer was koel genoeg dat dit nie ‘n probleem was nie. Ek beveel hierdie gastehuis aan vir die reisiger wat ‘n “lock-up and go” wegbreek sal geniet. Letterlik een minuut se stap van die strand af met baie restaurante binne loopafstand.
Ons het dit terdeë geniet om binne loopafstand van ‘n lieflike strand te wees. Die mense by die gastehuis is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Al wat ons gepla het was die min parkering voor in die straat. Sal dit egter enige tyd aanbeveel en vir seker weer van hulle gebruik maak.
Dit was ‘n aangename 1 nag verblyf met geen tekortkominge. Ontbyt was ook heerlik.
Moenie hier bespreek nie! Slegte diens met eienaar wat “vergeet” het dat ons sou opdaag, en toe moes ons 4 in een kamer bly met twee volwasse kinders van 21 en 23 jaar oud wat op stapelbeddens moes slaap. Sy assistent het aan ons gesê dat hy dit al verskeie kere vantevore ook gedoen het.
Die personeel het in die motorhuis direk langs ons kamer geslaap. Hulle het baie laat in die nag eers kos gemaak en dan te heerlik gelag en gesels. Dit was uiters steurend en baie sleg. Ons middagslapie was onmoontlik omdat die bestuurder reg voor ons kamer die twee skoonmakers opdragte gegee het. Ons het dit baie steurend gevind. Die breekware in hierdie kamer was skokkend. Daar was 5 bekers waarvan 3 getjip is en sommer bruin verkleur het. Daar was slegs 3 teelepels en nie een het bymekaar gepas nie. Daar was nie eers ‘n botteloopmaker in die kamer nie en ons moes een by die personeel leen. Dit is ‘n selfsorg-eenheid, daar was talle potte maar geen stoof of plate waarop mens enigiets kon voorberei nie. Ons het darem buite ons kamer kon braai, maar kon slegs die mikrogolf binne gebruik. Die personeel was baie vriendelik, maar die verblyf was regtig aaklig en daarom kry hulle ‘n swak resensie. Al ons ander verblyf was aangenaam.
