Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Thesen Island

Beautiful family home with everything you need for a holiday. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We loved our stay

5 Stars – A Slice of Paradise in Knysna! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — the hosts greeted us warmly and had thoughtfully left snacks, a bottle of wine, and even a delicious cake for us to enjoy. Such a special touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The house itself is stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful location made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying relaxed evenings by the fire. The location is ideal too — just a short drive from town, yet far enough to feel like a private retreat. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Great location, comfortable place!!

Our family had a wonderful holiday in their home .lots ved the added touch of chickens and fresh eggs each day 😊 Options for braai area and for pit were impressive . Evenings were full of fun with pool table and dart board.. Endless hours at the pool and exploring knysna .. Just perfect in every way Thank you

This was a safe area where we could walk through the neighborhood. It is close to everything in Knysna. It was very clean and having a washer was really helpful. Wifi seemed slow. The property has a lot of steps, but that was fine for our family. It was nice to have multiple seating areas so we could sit together or spread out when we wanted to. Host offered information on local attractions and had coffee, milk, and sugar for when we arrived.

We have stayed before and returned because it was a perfect stay. Great family home. Super layout and full of everything you may need. A great option and a must stay.

We have spent many holidays on Thesen Islands over the years, renting multiple homes on multiple islands. We have now found the perfect home for us. What you arrive to is so much better than any description or picture and exceeded all of our expectations without exception. It's a stunning North facing location with a wonderful view up the main canal. The home is very well appointed and most notably, for us and for my wife, spotlessley clean. Also very notably we were supplied with the small things that make a big difference and give you a sense of generosity by the hosts; toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, sponges, washing powder, hand soaps etc (you'll be shocked how many home stays don't supply the small things). We are so appreciative to Ilsebe for sharing her lovely home with us. 2026 is already booked. Can't wait! The Farrells

Always love staying here. Beautiful part of Knysna, close to the cdb but incredibly peaceful. There was a power-outage in the town but fortunately the house now has solar. The home is lovely and has everything we could possibly need. We will be back

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 had a wonderful stay and felt very comfortable. The surroundings are fantastically beautiful and the lagoon is great for swimming for small children. On the terrace we grilled and made ourselves comfortable. We would come back anytime!

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.

Wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Friendly service and everything we needed was available. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!

Check in and Carla as host was exceptional. The apartment was well equipped, very clean and modern. All and all a wonderful stay experience.

Nicola's apartment was perfect for our overnight stay. Close to the waterfront, with lots of restaurants within walking distance to choose from. Elmo was a super star and so accommodating. Thank you

The main house is beautiful, looks better in person. The house is so bigger everything is provided for you. My wife loved the garden & the pool, the work on this property is amazing! I highly recommend this property I can't wait to go back again!

Large nice house with lots of space. Close to the water and restaurant and walking distance to cafe with delicious breakfast.

We were a large group of 9 adults and 5 children and felt so welcome and at home at 6onProtea. The rooms are all very well equipped, the kitchen and dining area well serviced and the views/location was beautiful. The manager and his housekeepers were AMAZING! We felt so cared for with their excellent recommendations for local restaurants/attractions. Nothing was too much trouble and they were attentive but not intrusive. The manager provided us with a great selection of new board games when we arrived as he thought “we looked like we were a group that would play games”. He was so right! We have many special memories of playing board games and laughing next to the roaring fire on the chilly winter nights in a special location in Knysna. We will be back!

Memorable experience, highly recommend Thesen Island and the majestic home and facilities.

Absolutely stunning views over the beach and sea. The views can be enjoyed from everywhere in the house. Extremely large beautiful property with lots of open space inside and out. A large balcony with loads of space to relax on. The main bedroom and bathroom are a great size and very comfortable again both with amazing views. Large dressing room too. All far bigger than the photos show. A few minutes drive to the beach which is lovely and not too busy. There is only a very small village shop with very limited supplies. We ate at Butterfly Blu on the beach a couple of time and the food was very good. Our only feedback would be some comfortable relaxing chairs to be used on the lawn. There are however 2 loungers on the balcony. We would definitely recommend this property especially if you are looking for privacy and scenic views.

Fabulous views, so peaceful and definitely a great place to unwind in. Amelia and Trevor were very welcoming and accommodating

Great lagoon views , peaceful , amazing location , right on top of the head , nestled away from winds. Well equipped house for even bigger groups. Stunning decks , champagne sunsets.

This has to be the best house we have ever stayed in. The house all the amenities and amazing attention to detail. Incredible views, every appliance you need and responsive host, worth every cent. Definitely coming back.
