8 guests' feedbackIt's a very special property right on the lake. The house has so many different areas to sit and relax, our group of nine was completely comfortable. The house is also close to Thesen harbor with all the restaurants, and the small beach is just behind the house, perfect for children. The owner was very helpful and quickly helped with any queries even though she lives overseas. We had a fantastic holiday and I would highly recommend the property.
The place is very beautiful and quite to be honest, we thought we won't have neighbors because on the site it doesn't show as if we have one. So the 1st night for us it was bit tense because our plan was to party so yeah at least the picture or there should be a note that says its like a business park and quiet place otherwise the rest was perfect.
The house has enough space for a large group. The house has everything one needs to not only live there comfortably, but in "luxury". The view was also fantastic and it was only a short walk to the nearest beach. The house is not terribly baby-friendly, but we were soon able to come up with a farmer's plan to secure the stairs and the pool. The maid is also very cute. I would definitely recommend the destination to people who want to live in Knysna with a large group.
Modern home with high quality amenities. Great views of the Knysna lagoon.
This was our second time at Taliesin and we would definitely like to go home again. The surroundings are incredibly beautiful and the house itself is also special.
Beautiful house, fully equipped. Big enough for more than one family. The view is breathtaking. Very calm.
We will most definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommended.
I am totally impressed by this accommodation and for the value of it because me and my friends is going to make it our every year accommodation.
