Thesen Island : locations de vacances avec accès à un lac

Lovely place to stay at & the location was great to explore Knysna.

Knysna is such a lovely place, with Thesen’s Island being my favourite area. Location is great, and is extremely safe as it is a gated community. The house is beautifully kept, spacious, and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The furniture, décor and general quality of the house is great (especially the lovely main bed!). Faith is such a lovely lady - full of energy and charm. She is incredibly helpful, responsive, and is such a delight. She makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive, and gives an amazing tour of the house (and some great recommendations of places to go on the island, as well as in the surrounding areas). It was such an amazing stay, would 100% recommend, and would definitely book again!

Was für ein Highlight!! Perfektion pur für Menschen die Slow Accomodation lieben… ein Appartment dem nichts fehlt, architektonisch sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet! Traumhafte Terrasse, so gemütlich, Kamin, Grill, der Garten was für Liebhaber….-alles super. Die Nähe zur Lagune ein Traum!! Ruhe und einfach nur genial….

We had a fabulous stay!!! Lauren was extremely responsive and welcoming. The space was absolutely beautiful, neat, private and overall lovely. Anyone looking for some time away & love being surrounded by nature, this is perfect!

The view from the house is absolutely stunning, and the location is brilliant. Morné responded very quickly whenever needed and was super friendly. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed two nights and felt so rested and relaxed on the first day ! Amazingly peaceful and relaxing home. The pool was clean and a definite bonus. 10 out of 10 home to stay in. Morne is exceptional in managing this home and very friendly.

Beautiful, spacious house in stunning and peaceful surroundings. The deck area was superb and our favourite bit of the house. The grounds around the property were fantastic, with access to the lagoon for kitesurfing and swimming, as well as tennis and a gym. The neighbours were super friendly, with a real community and safe feel to the complex. This was the perfect spot for us as a group for a relaxed and sporting week and we would love to come back! Ingrid was a great host, with lots of helpful suggestions and recommendations. We were welcomed and checked out by the cleaners who were incredibly nice and helpful.

Our stay at Tide Verge was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, everything was even better than we’d hoped. The river was surprisingly warm with clear water, perfect for swimming and kayaking. We spent our days lounging on the jetty, soaking up the sun, and just enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The house itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, super comfortable, and full of little touches that made our stay effortless. It’s the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience, giving us privacy while still being close to town. Our favorite spot was the balcony, where we spent evenings barbecuing, taking in the stunning river views, and making memories with family. Mark, our host, was amazing. Even with our late-night check-in, he made sure we felt completely welcome. His responsiveness and hospitality were top-notch. Tide Verge is a true hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend!

Diane was an amazing host. She is kind, friendly, engaging and has lots of local wisdom. One of the best hosts ever! The unit was perfect for us. What the listing said was exactly as it was. Beautiful surrounds, perfectly cared for and maintained unit and just lovely in every way. Thanks Di for an amazing stay. Perfect!

Amazing stay with amazing views, In the middle of knysna waterfront so, everything is within walking distance. Perfect place to stay 👌🏻

We stayed at Vista Laguna over the holidays! It was fantastic and we will definitely be back!

We stayed in one of Tine’s luxury glamping caravans as the room on AirBnB got double booked. Tine solved the matter very professionally and upon arrival she was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for our short but beautiful stay!

Colette was truly a gracious hostess, going the extra mile to accommodate our every need/wish/want. The boat trip was such a nice addition to our weekend experience. And that view, ah man, what a view ... Thanks to Colette and Wayne for opening up their home to us xx

My partner, Michelle, and I had a fantastic stay at Heidi’s place. The apartment is perfectly located within walking distance of the waterfront, making it easy to explore the area. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee at Trinity Coffee, conveniently located just downstairs. Heidi was a pleasure to communicate with—responsive and helpful throughout. We highly recommend her apartment for a comfortable and convenient stay!

The location of this apartment is perfect with beautiful views and the wind free north facing balcony is a bonus. The jacuzzi was clean and ready to be used when we arrived which was a thoughtful gesture. It’s the perfect location for a family of 4 as the apartment is spacious and everything you need is within walking distance. The apartment is well equipped if you decide to dine in or have a braai. We definitely look forward to returning to this awesome gem, thanks Douglas for making our stay so comfortable.

We had a lovely 2 night stay in the apartment. Easy and safe to walk to the lovely bars and restaurants on the quay. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a quiet area and very clean. Was able to park the car in secure garage and would be very happy to stay here again.

We had a marvelous holiday in a beautifully, peacefully setting. Noreen and Simon made us feel welcome, and were lucky to see the newborn faul "cracker" borned on Christmas.

The place is big enough to stay in and especially to stay comfortable with a baby. It is a quiet area with a beautiful view over the Knysna lagoon. It is a great place to stay if you want to explore the Garden route, because it is central and easy accessible. We really found the host friendly and helpful.

Great location, easy walk to all the restaurants and perfect for exploring the nature nearby. Communication was perfect and made for easy check in. Amazing views from apartment and beautiful birds visit whilst sitting outside - very peaceful :)

Jean's house is the absolute perfect place for a family holiday. Lots of space, adjacent to a lovely, clean lagoon for fishing, swimming and canoeing; a lovely lawn for the kids to play on, a massive stoep (verandah) to spend the days and early evenings enjoying a braai and admiring the spectacular view of the hill on the other side of the lagoon, in the coolness of shade. The granny cottage in the backyard is the perfect go-to place for grandparents or parents to escape to. The location is perfect, on a cul-de-sac, near enough to restaurants and shops alike. To top it all, Jean is the perfect host and communicated accurately, honestly and immediately. Our large family of nine returned home, relaxed, happy and well rested. We absolutely dream of repeating our fabulous holiday in the exact same house, soon.

It was the perfect relaxing holiday setting in beautiful nature surroundings. We absolutely will visit this holiday home again. Craig and Theoline are friendly and helpfull hosts. I will recommend their place to anyone.

Nico went out of his way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We had a wonderful time and will surely go back there whenever we're in Knysna :)

Staying in this tiny house was like stepping into a fairytale! The space is beautifully designed, cozy, and full of charming details that made our stay unforgettable. Sheena is the best host you could ask for—warm, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Can’t wait to return to this magical little getaway!

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.
