Thesen View - exquisite views with canoe & bikes
Excellent stay! Everything was absolutely perfect with everything required for both a work/holiday visit. Quality throughout. Location is great with stunning views. Highly recommended. Look forward to visiting again.

Westford Birds Nest
Colette's Airbnb was divine! The place is truly breathtaking, the pictures are accurate and the space is thoughtfully put together with everything you could possibly need. She is highly responsive checking in with you to see if there is anything you need to elevate your experience. The Airbnb is nestled in a peaceful nature reserve overlooking the Knysna estuary. It is located out of the hustle and bustle of town, with Knysna's hotspots just a stone throw away for your convenience. Colette went above and beyond host duties, offering trips to town when she was heading out, showing me lovely places to visit and sending exclusive restaurant offers of the day! She is a joy, and I would recommend her place to anyone looking to relax, unplug and reset. Colette's Lovely Airbnb is the only choice to make. I look forward to booking it in the summer and any other time I happen to be in Knysna.

Exotic, North Facing - Mooring, Jacuzzi & Inverter
Beautifully located within the Thesen Island precinct with access to its facilities this unit is a penthouse with convenient access from your parking directly to the unit. Well maintained and kept well by Douglas who communicates clearly and is always close by if you need additional support.

Stunning 3 bedroom apartment with sea views
We had a wonderful view, the apartment was spacious and had everything we needed to feel at home. I really appreciate it when you find some much needed supplies in kitchen and bathrooms that you don't expect and storage space and neatly packed cubhoards.

This is a wonderful and spacious apartment with everything you could possibly need. The location is also great!

Thesen Island, Knysna Lagoon View Apt
We had a lovely stay, the place is very clean and neat, beautiful views around, and nice that there are restaurants within walking distance. The place is perfect for family of four and I will definitely stay there if in area again.

The Gatehouse @ The River House Estate
Lovely place in a beautiful and serene setting. We had some issues with hot water (geyser failure which does not happen often!) and power (normal in SA) and through it Andrew was very involved sorting it out quickly and keeping us informed right the way through. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely be back if staying in Knysna again.

Panoramic Lagoon and Heads Views - Inverter Backup
Lovely place to stay at & the location was great to explore Knysna.

Thesen - La Belle Vie
We had a lovey stay at La Vie Belle. The amenities were exquisite. It felt like the perfect home away from home since the moment we arrived. We were two ladies alone and felt very safe and comfortable in Thesen Island and the house. It was exactly the place we needed to relax, from the sunny patio to the comfortable lounge where we watched many movies and series on the smart TV. It was lovely having good coffee and tea ready in the kitchen, as well as hand wash, lotion, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. We loved the spacious kitchen where we were able to cook some meals. We will definitely be back again!

Thesen Island Holiday House
We really enjoyed our stay here. lovely home, fully equipped with everything we needed. Everything is in good condition unlike other places we've rented. The best part was the location, a few steps to the nearest bridge to get into Thesen Town. We didn't drive at all when we stayed there. Also lovely to walk within the Thesen Estate in the evenings. Faith was incredibly friendly and thorough upon check in. We were very pleased with our stay.

Seacrest Villa
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely and situated in a beautiful area. The house was clean and spacious to accommodate everyone comfortably. The host were both very helpful. I would recommend this place.

Tranquil Beach Home 2
We had a lovely stay. The house is perfectly located, very close to the beach and lagoon. It has everything you need for your holiday and very clean. Thanks Denny.

Old belvidere, 4 bedroom house with lagoon view
Morne is a super host. The house is way more beautiful and spacious in real life. It was a really magical getaway for my family. The street lights reflecting on the water of the lake at night was one of the picturesque highlights for me. We would definitely like to stay there again in the very near future. Thank you Morné.

Joys accommodation was exactly as described and like the photos. The flatlets were clean and had stunning views of the Knysna lagoon. Joy was responsive, accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommend staying at this accommodation amd great value for money.

Romeo
We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.
