"Convenient, comfortable and relaxing."

We were travelling for a wedding so didn't spend much time at the unit but it was great for what we needed. The location was great, beds were comfortable and a fabulous coffee machine.

"Fantastic central and beautiful location."

Beautiful early morning walks and afternoon kayaks along Thesen Island Canals. Stunning shops, restaurants and the best coffee shop ever at Thesen Harbour Town. Security is impressive.

"Nice stay in beautiful unit."

Accommodation was comfortable and close to where we wanted to be. Thank you for the good and friendly service.

"Just an awesome location."

Just a great area and town.

"Beautiful setting, ideal location."

Thesen Island is a beautiful destination if you want to be close to the centre of Knysna. The house was comfortable, all mod cons and more. The photos doesn't quite capture the beauty of the place. On the edge of the water with beautiful views and lots of birdlife. The added security is a wonderful extra so you always feel safe and secure.

"We stayed at Thesen Island in March/April 2022. Beautiful location, convenient and secure."

While the location was lovely, the amenities need some attention. The house can accommodate 6 people, but there are only two single-person kayaks and two oars. The third kayak has no plugs and sank when we were in it! The bathroom needs a good clean and the toilet seat needs to be changed. Providing a clean sugar container and at least two dishwasher pills would go a long way. No kitchen scourer left either. The house attendant also arrived to start cleaning the house a good three quarters of an hour before we were actually due to check out, which doesn't sit well.

"Beautiful, modern and peaceful house."

We had a wonderful holiday with our family and little ones. The back deck has a gate that unlocks and steps leading down to the beach. The kids can get really dirty and have a bath right away, no driving home from the sea with sand everywhere. The house also has a beautiful enclosed garden where children can play safely. If you are pregnant, remember all the bathrooms are on the second floor so you often climb the stairs to the rooms. The house also has many luxuries such as underfloor heating and heated towel rails. The showers are very large and the master bedroom's bathroom has a bathtub. The master bedroom's balcony overlooks the bay and you can lie in bed and watch the sunrise. Getting put on the system at the security estate takes quite some time and your fingerprints have to be scanned. So you park and everyone walks together to the security office with your ID, after that you can just drive in and out and print your fingerprint.

"Lovely home, safe secure location."

We had a short stay here. Location is very convenient to the town and to Thesen Island. Home is fully equipped and spotlessly clean. Checking in was a big hassle as the agents had apparently not forwarded the biometric data and IDs etc. to the security gate so this took ages to resolve which was a huge waste of time after a long day. Apart from that, all good.

"Wonderful, peaceful and beautiful."

Very safe, very peaceful and very beautiful.

"Nice, just a pity that cleanliness was not 100%."

Unit, especially the studio, was not completely clean. Dirty trash cans in studio, shower in bathroom in studio dirty, tumble dryer full of bedding that wasn't put away and bags full of trash in courtyard that wasn't removed. Gas grill was out of gas so we didn't use it.

"Ideal weekend getaway."

Good location. Clean, tidy and well appointed.
