Enjoy exploring the beautiful Garden Route from this tranquil cottage situated on beautiful, secure Thesen Islands. With views onto the canal from your King-size bed, a deck for sundowners or coffee with views of the Knysna Heads, Ashmead Channel and Bird Sanctuary. Make use of our tennis & squash racquets, putt & chip on the course, or use bicycles, a canoe or SUP to explore the waterways, visit the Blue Flag beach, or visit the stunning nearby shops and restaurants in Thesen Harbour Town, or the Knysna Waterfront
Having grown up in beautiful Knysna, I want everyone to enjoy it the way we do! It's a special place with so much to do, and we try and make it easier by providing bicycles and a canoe to explore our beautiful island with! Happy to recommend the restaurants we enjoy as well as help with planning some day trips in the area, so please feel free to ask! The apartment is completely separate to the main house, with it's own access and parking. I am usually around if guests want to ask me anything, and happy to assist with making bookings, or advise on what to see and do in the area
Thesen Island is a safe, secure, biometric access controlled neighbourhood. You can explore on foot, use our bicycles, or head off on the canals using the SUP or canoe (provided by us at no charge). There is an outdoor gym, tennis courts, squash courts and a putting and chipping course, and we have the equipment for you to enjoy all of it!
