Don't stay here.
I wasn't even able to stay at this hotel because when I arrived, the hotel said they had double booked me. They were rude and unwilling to help me sort it out. Thankfully, I was able to call Expedia and they arranged for me to stay elsewhere during my trip. The Milkwood Mansion is completely unorganized and the management is very unpleasant to deal with. I would not recommend it.

Nice house, lovely room, service needs attention
We had a comfortable stay. Milkwood Mansion is a lovely house situated in a upmarket suburb close to shopping malls and in close proximity to the beach. It is a stone throw to central Durban. There is a beautiful distant view of the ocean from the balcony. The room was suitable for a family with two queen beds. However, more attention needed to be paid to detail. It seemed as though the room hadn't been properly cleaned. The toilet roll was not replenished nor was there soap, bath floor towel, etc in the bathroom. Towels and hand lotion was provided and changed daily but on one of the days two of the four towels looked dirty. There were no floor mats in the bedroom either. Even after discussing these matters with the owner, not much was done to rectify the situation. It is a beautiful house. Just needs for the owners to pay attention to detail and the finer aspects within the service industry. Not able to comment on breakfast since we went out for breakfast daily.

Weekend away at Milkwood Mansion
My wife and I stayed over for 2 nights. The room was clean, apart from the shower which could have been a little cleaner in the nooks and the bottom frame of the door. The water heaters (heat pumps) are quite noisy. All in all the B&B was relaxed and friendly and good value for money. My rating is about a 2.5 to 3 star.

Comfortable and child friendly accommodation
We received a wonderful warm welcome from Elaine. The rooms were spacious with a beautiful view of the Ocean and a large balcony to sit and relax. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well maintained. The breakfast was wonderful combined with excellent service. I would highly recommend this establishment.
