Waterfront Thesen Villa - Mooring, Pool & Inverter

JonnoRating, 5 stars5 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!

Waterfront- C25 Knysna Quays with pool

Penny and CharlesRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay at C25 The Island, Knysna Quays. It is a gorgeous home and so comfortable and homely. It is so beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything you could need for a home away from home. We wished we could stay longer! Heather is a warm and engaging host - quick to respond and so happy to help with anything you need. Heather loves Knysna and is eager to share it with her guests. Our check-in was handled by her lovely daughter Jenna - which was quick and easy. We will definitely be back - it was everything we had hoped for and more.

Old belvidere, 4 bedroom house with lagoon view

RogerRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Green Leaf Lagoon Cottage

LouwRating, 5 stars2 months 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.

The Island in Sedgefield (Back up power)

marwaanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jennifers place was food for the soul. If you want tranquility tick. If you want privacy, tick. If you want lovely sunrise and sunset walks, tick. If you want space to relax and take in nature, tick. The pool area was such a pleasant experience. As a family we lay outside taking in the starry nights. The only thing that put a slight damper on our getaway was two rainy days but that didnt stop us enjoying the garden and the braai area infront of a cozy fire. A big thank you for accommodating us Jennifer. No regrets whatsoever. 👍

Friends or Family

SharonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our stay of one night was too short to be able to appreciate Kim's place fully, but we will certainly be back to make more of it! The location overlooking the lake and sea is magnificent, and the patio calls out to be used for meals, reading a book or birdwatching. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen homely and well-appointed. Communication was easy, and when I got lost on google maps instead of having used the available directions, Kim was superquick and clear in putting me into the right direction. Checkin was flexible and simple, checkout as well. In a word - wonderful! Thank you so much!

Holly's house in the Woods

PaulRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a wonderful 6-day stay at this beautiful and well-equipped home in Brenton-on-Lake. The house is in a quiet and peaceful area, perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everything you need for a comfortable holiday is provided. One of the highlights was sitting outside and seeing the bushbucks wandering past—it was truly magical! Communication with Jacques was effortless; he was helpful and responsive throughout. It was an absolute pleasure staying here, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat.

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

Thesen Island Holiday House

JoanneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

We had a great time in Brenton on Sea. The house had all the required amenities for a self catering stay and it had lots of space and private bedrooms for a family with 2 teenagers. The Fisherman's walk was beautiful and we could walk safely stroll to the beach. Will definitely recommend!
