Moored at the edge of Thesen Islands, this two-bedroom apartment sits directly on the water — the kind of address where the view from the living room is all lagoon. Both bedrooms and the main living space connect to a balcony that runs the length of the unit, and a sun terrace below serves as a second outdoor room. Two full bathrooms, air-conditioning, and BBQ facilities round out the practical side.

A tennis court and children's playground are on site, and Bollard Bay Beach is under two kilometres away on foot. Knysna's waterfront restaurants and the boardwalk that links the islands are easily reached without a car, making this a workable base whether you're here for a week or a long weekend. The lagoon light changes constantly — flat silver in the mornings, copper by late afternoon — and from this particular perch, there's no missing any of it.
