Perfect Canal Escape on Thesen Islands — Holiday Home Accommodation
L5 Thesen Islands, Thesen Island , 6570 Knysna, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
Five bedrooms spread across a canal-facing home on Thesen Islands, one of Knysna's most considered addresses — a car-free peninsula of converted timber wharves and waterways that sits quietly between the lagoon and the town. The upper balcony and terrace both look out over the canal, and with the fireplace inside, the house works as well in the cooler months as it does in summer. A barbecue and outdoor furniture extend the living space when the weather holds.
Four bathrooms serve the five bedrooms comfortably, which makes this a natural fit for two families or a larger group wanting room to spread out. Bollard Bay Beach is roughly two kilometres away. Knysna Heads, with its iconic sandstone cliffs and the narrow passage where the lagoon meets the Indian Ocean, is about seven kilometres by road.
Free parking is included — useful given the island's layout — alongside flat-screen TV and washing machine.
