Waterfront Thesen Villa - Mooring, Pool & Inverter

JonnoRating, 5 stars4 months ago
From booking to checkout Doug and Carla were great hosts. Doug accommodated a late check-in, helped us register with security to access Thesen Island, and took us to the property for a walk-through. The home was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had every utility and modcon you need. A pleasant surprise was the addition of a pool between booking and arrival. The outside space and boat deck make for the ultimate Knysna vacation spent on the water. The restaurants and bars of Thesen Harbour Town are a 5 min walk. We will be back. Thank You!

Green Leaf Lagoon Cottage

LouwRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing time and Green Leaf exceeded our expectations. Pictures do not do the place any justice. We loved spending time on the veranda and had bush buck and guinea fowl visit. The solar power meant that we weren't even aware of the load shedding during our stay.

We stayed at Marc and Cheryl's house for a long weekend but ended staying an extra night. What a gem! The house was incredibly clean, had everything we needed, such a beautiful view and situated in tranquil part of Sedgefield. We have three young boys and they were able to play and keep themselves busy in safe surroundings. We would love to visit again.

We absolutely loved our two-day stay in brenton-on-sea and wish we could have stayed longer! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The house has such a welcoming and relaxing feel. It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need (and more!). Anabella was great as well! She was super friendly, quick to respond, and made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. Highly recommend this place! My family and I are already talking about coming back

Waterside home on Thesen Marina

Pedro And ChelseaRating, 5 stars107 months ago
What an amazing place you have Cally! Thank you for allowing us into your lovely home in Knysna. Situated on Thesen Island, the home is ideally located- close to all amenities. One thing to note is that if you plan to visit in winter, the house is rather cold. Cally was very helpful in switching on the under floor heating, which- after a little while warmed up the place nicely!

A little patch of heaven. Very well equipped kitchen for indoor & outdoor cooking. Lovely beds - good mattresses and beautiful linen. Gorgeous cabin for the 6 of us - just great having a little private beach and use of a canoe. The Loerie and Hoopoe visited us. Alison was very helpful in every way. We would love to come back one day.

The White House Apartment

IrinaRating, 5 stars14 months ago
Catherine’s home exceeded my expectations, and already from the description, I expected something special. As hosts, Catherine and her husband give you a professional 5+* experience without any hint of interference. I initiated a personal introduction myself and they responded happily. The home is incredible: the location, the views and everything you may need inside for a comfortable, 5* quality stay ; quiet and private; elegantly decorated. The big thing for me was good WiFi and no power disruption for work, and I couldn’t have been better set up than Catherine’s home. All in all, highly recommended and certainly now in my list to return.
