Modern beachfront villa with deck and landscaped gardens facing lagoon
Type Villa
From GRJ airport 61.7km · 1 hr 17 min

Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a sun terrace that looks out over the waterways of Thesen Islands — a private marina development connected to Knysna by a single causeway. The villa is self-contained and quiet, set within a neighbourhood where boats move slowly past garden edges and the pace is genuinely unhurried. Bollard Bay Beach is less than two kilometres away on foot.

Inside, the rooms are arranged across multiple levels, with a balcony extending the living space outward. Barbecue facilities sit alongside the outdoor seating area, making the terrace the natural centre of gravity on warm evenings. Streaming services, a washing machine, and free WiFi are included, and the property accepts pets.

Free parking is on-site. Knysna's waterfront restaurants, the famous Heads, and the lagoon itself are all accessible within a short drive. For those who want water close by but prefer a calmer setting than an open beach, Thesen Islands delivers that in a fairly particular way.

A note from Carla

Stay in true island luxury.

Located on the water's edge of the Knysna Lagoon, TH40 lends itself to ensuring that your stay in the Garden Route is a memorable one. Soak in the lagoon views from the tub, savor incredible sunsets from the deck and end a day of exploring by curling up next to the fireplace.
