Island Studio Apartment — Accommodation
Fairmile Drive, Thesen Island , 6571 Knysna, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
A studio apartment on Knysna's Thesen Island, positioned close enough to Bollard Bay Beach that the lagoon sets the tone rather than the town. The recently renovated space runs one bedroom into a living and dining area, with a kitchenette, private bathroom, and a balcony that looks out over the garden and pool. A terrace extends the living space outward, and a private beach area, tennis court, and free on-site parking round out what's available on the property.
Thesen Island sits connected to Knysna by a single causeway, which gives the address a quieter register than the main waterfront — birds, water, cycling paths — while keeping the Waterfront's restaurants and the famous Heads within easy reach by car. Golfing, fishing, and hiking are all accessible from here. Free Wi-Fi and a free shuttle service are included. Adults only.
