Vacation rentals with a kayak in Thesen Island

Domitilla's cottage is a charmingly quirky cabin in the woods with a large deck in the woods and close to the Knysna River, very quiet and private which for us was a large plus. The river is only a short walk away across grassy fields and there are a number of canoes available to use - good fun. The cottage itself is fairly basic but perfectly adequate and it felt safe. Access to town is very easy. Thanks for sharing your farm with us, Domitilla.

The place is much much beautiful than the photos, we wish that we extended our stay, you need to spend at least a whole day in the house without doing activities outside. The island is very very safe and highly secured.

Great stay. Clean, well equipped property that matched its description. Hosts responsive and helpful. Easy walk to the Waterfront. Thank you also for making a kayak available to us. Good fun.

We had an amazing stay at Tessa’s place. We were travelling with grandparents and 2 kids aged 8 and 11. The property felt like a ‘home from home’ in a very beautiful and peaceful setting (amazing views of the estuary) . The property had everything we needed and more including bikes, kayaks, well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The estate itself has great amenities including a cafe and pub. All the rooms were extremely comfortable and spacious for our family. Lots of open reception spaces and outdoor spaces for relaxing. It was also the perfect place for exploring Knsyna and surroundings.

We had a fabulous stay, the house was spacious, clean , awesome outdoor area and very quiet and safe. We will be back again for another stay.

Absolutely wonderful place to have a family holiday. I loved the fact that we were right on the beach and water. The space has everything you need for a proper relaxing holiday! I would highly recommend this place.

The venue is beautiful designed so much space with different areas yet not huge. Host was always helpful and responded quickly. We loved the house it was a home

We absolutely loved our stay in this magnificent location. The house had everything we needed and the kayak was great given you are on the water. It allowed us to explore. Trish was a lovely, friendly, responsive host. I would definitely recommend her place and we hope to be back next year.

Lovely space, perfect location, attention to detail.. will be planning my next trip soon. Love the area 💙

We love staying at Paula's place, it is a divine cottage complete with everything one needs. Set in a beautiful garden, which our border collies just love. We thoroughly enjoy our holidays at Paula's place and will definitely be back again.

The cottage has beautiful farm views and the area has stillness that will relax any business or holiday traveler. My family & I had fresh rich milk from grass fed cows every morning. A real treat.

Nicholas is a great host, he went out of his way to make sure we felt right at home. Super friendly and easy going! Thanks for having us Nicholas!
