“This Milnerton Ridge B&B, a haven for birders near Table Bay Nature Reserve, provides a quiet escape with views of the Rietvlei wetland; the owners go the extra mile to make guests feel welcome. The spacious rooms are well-equipped and the breakfasts are memorable, although the staircase to the loft rooms may be challenging for some. I think it is an excellent choice for those seeking a nature-focused retreat close to Cape Town.”
