A Hidden West Coast Gem Joins our Key Collection

At The Room Key, we're always looking for ways to share our favourite escapes with you—and now, we’re thrilled to introduce two curated property collections that reflect our evolving journey: the Room Collection and the Key Collection.

Each collection celebrates a different kind of stay, but both are united by the same values: comfort, natural luxury, and a deep connection to place.

🏡 The Room Collection

These are the properties you've come to know and love—spaces we’ve personally curated and maintained to feel like a true home away from home. Whether you’re travelling with family, friends, or seeking solitude, these homes are perfect for slowing down and soaking up the beauty around you.

The Room Collection includes:

• Church Cottage, Churchhaven
• Slipway Cottage, Churchhaven
• Peacehaven, Breede River
• Sunset Cove, Kommetjie
• Hout Bay Villa, Hout Bay
• Candlewood Cottage, St Francis Bay

🗝️ The Key Collection

As our community grows, we’re excited to welcome other beautiful homes into our fold—properties that align with our style and values, and that we now assist in marketing and bookings.

These homes are independently owned, but receive our signature touch and are carefully selected to give you that same sense of natural ease you’ve come to expect from The Room Key.

First in the Key Collection:

🌿 Milkwood Cottage, Churchhaven

Deep in the West Coast National Park, hidden in one of the most breathtaking corners of the Cape, sits Milkwood Cottage—a quiet, off-grid retreat that’s nothing short of magical.

If you’ve never been to this part of the world, you’re in for a surprise. The West Coast has its own rhythm, its own palette of colours, and a peacefulness that’s hard to put into words. In Spring, the reserve bursts into bloom. The rest of the year, it offers an untouched calm that feels a world away—just over an hour from Cape Town.

Milkwood Cottage is a home designed for comfort and ease. It’s off the grid, which means you can cook on the gas stove or BBQ, light the candles in the evening, and stargaze to your heart’s content. The electric fridge runs on solar power, giving you the best of both worlds: simplicity and functionality.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat, a creative escape, or just a quiet place to reconnect, Milkwood Cottage is waiting to welcome you.

💫 A New Chapter

With our Room Collection and Key Collection, we hope to make it easier for you to find the perfect place—whether you're seeking a nostalgic favourite or something brand new to fall in love with.

We can’t wait for you to explore what’s next.
