Waterfront holiday rentals in Thesen Island

This space is perfect for 2 people for a getaway, the 2 patios were a bonus, space to simply be. This is a prime spot in These Island, in our opinion, the view over the estuary, the bird life, is magnificent and peaceful Short walk to the restuarants as the Quay in town. Access to the canoe, SUP Bikes and golf sticks was a bonus, we used them all and had great fun, without having to have packed all our own gear. Diane and her family and the housekeeper, Patience were fabulous, helping us with our luggage, cleaning and checking in on us regularly. We will return for the simplicity of being away without stress.

A beautiful home that was perfect for my family. Accessible for my parents who were elderly, and my son spent hours canoeing the waterfront and swimming in the canal. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to visit Knysna. Walking distance to Waterfront with so much to offer!

We stayed at Vista Laguna over the holidays! It was fantastic and we will definitely be back!

Colette was truly a gracious hostess, going the extra mile to accommodate our every need/wish/want. The boat trip was such a nice addition to our weekend experience. And that view, ah man, what a view ... Thanks to Colette and Wayne for opening up their home to us xx

My partner, Michelle, and I had a fantastic stay at Heidi’s place. The apartment is perfectly located within walking distance of the waterfront, making it easy to explore the area. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee at Trinity Coffee, conveniently located just downstairs. Heidi was a pleasure to communicate with—responsive and helpful throughout. We highly recommend her apartment for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Beautifully located within the Thesen Island precinct with access to its facilities this unit is a penthouse with convenient access from your parking directly to the unit. Well maintained and kept well by Douglas who communicates clearly and is always close by if you need additional support.

Beautiful setting with clean, well-presented accommodation. All was as our expectations. Mornè gave very good pointers and available to assist if needed at the same time our privacy was respected at all times. Thank you for the extra treats, much appreciated

Blown away by how beautiful and spacious the place was. The interiors were tastefully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances.The living area was incredibly spacious, allowing for both relaxation and socializing. Each room was comfortable and beautifully furnished, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring Knysna. What really made this experience stand out was our host. Nadia was incredibly friendly and responsive. If you're looking for a perfect getaway, look no further! This place is 150% perfect, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I can’t wait to come back.

Lovely place to stay at & the location was great to explore Knysna.

gorgeous spot! Great value and wonderful hosts. felt SO at home and never wanted to leave.

it was great will come agiain. small things has been discussed and i am sure Margo will sort them

We really enjoyed our stay in Daniel’s house where you have your own jetty and walking distance to cafes and restaurants. Audrey was very helpful during check in and later on when we had a power shortage. Daniel is also very kind and helpful and an extra plus is that we could use the double kayak which really enhanced our stay. We would love to come back!

What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We stayed the 3th time at the Cliff house. The house has an amazing view on the oceaan and the Heads. Its a wonderfull place to enjoy your family time

Morne is a super host. The house is way more beautiful and spacious in real life. It was a really magical getaway for my family. The street lights reflecting on the water of the lake at night was one of the picturesque highlights for me. We would definitely like to stay there again in the very near future. Thank you Morné.

What a wonderful tranquil place to stay! We enjoyed the breakfast and meals in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful surroundings. Accomodation was clean and very roomy. We had we all had a wonderful stay there and were so sad to be leaving it. Thank you and we felt very safe throughout our stay

Joys accommodation was exactly as described and like the photos. The flatlets were clean and had stunning views of the Knysna lagoon. Joy was responsive, accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommend staying at this accommodation amd great value for money.

A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

Thank You for having us over. It felt Like Home and we really appreciated and followed the tips your husband gave us.

We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.

Loved staying at her incredible place. The sunset was stunning, everything very clean and Anja gave us some wonderful recommendations. She is a super friendly host - Definitely recommend her place.

What a great stay!! Friendly and helpfull hosts

We had a wonderful stay. Via the app we received all information for entering the property. Communication with Melanie was super efficient and fast!

Family friendly, easy barefoot walk to the beach, very quiet, great escape. Many good restaurants in a 10 minute drive. Some exciting activities to do with the children.
