Check live rates on Booking.com
Thesen Islands sits on a network of canals in the middle of Knysna Lagoon, and this three-bedroom house makes the most of it — a terrace, balcony, and garden all face the water, so the canal is a constant presence rather than a backdrop. Inside, three bedrooms and a generous living room give families or groups room to spread out without crowding each other. On-site, there's a tennis court, squash court, and mini golf, which means days don't have to revolve around leaving.
A barbecue area rounds out the outdoor setup. Bollard Bay Beach is just over two kilometres away, and the island's own paths connect to Knysna's waterfront, where the Heads, oyster spots, and the town's main drag are all within easy reach by car. Parking is free and private.
For a Knysna stay that feels removed from the bustle without being far from any of it, the island location does most of the work.
