This is a wonderful place to stay when in Knysna! Fantastic views, and a very "different" feel to the public spaces in the hotel, with remnants of the old power station equipment abound in the hotel, but is uniquely balanced by some wonderful works of art! Staff were very friendly and helpful, though sometimes breakfast service was a little slow - but always worth waiting for! Also used the hotel spa, which was a fantastic experience, with very friendly and capable staff. ##### Jonathan Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sumaya 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff were all good, but a special mention to the breakfast staff.

It has a very boutique feeling, with a warm and friendly welcome from all the staff. The breakfast was excellent, although the service a little on the slow side. The location on the island is excellent for relaxing, together with a bit of mooching around the shops and cafes around and just a short walk into the Quays area. There are several restaurants within a few steps of the hotel. A great place to stay. I stayed twice on this trip and will definitely stay again. ##### Nigel Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Meline 3 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Terrible customer relations Booked a single night for our wedding anniversary - upon our return after dinner there was not hot water available in our room. We reported it to reception- followed their instructions. An hour later there was still no hot water - reception sent 2 x ladies up to our room to check the water as if we are lying. Reception offered that we could use another room’s bathroom - but weren’t able to move is to an entire new room. We then decided to check out and find alternative accommodation as this is unacceptable. As I was halfway out the door already there miraculously became a room available - unfortunately by that time the whole evening was spoilt and we left. Issues arise - it is the manner that they are dealt with that makes the difference. ##### Meline Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerstin 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tolles Hotel - was sich der Architekt aber dabei gedacht hat, mit offenen Holzfensterläden Bad und Zimmer zu verbinden, weiß ich nicht. Da geht die Privatsphäre im Bad etwas verloren… ##### Kerstin Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Euzeny 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Experiência maravilhosa e recomendo Acomodação muito simpática num lugar muito bonito .

Serviço de funcionários muito simpáticos . ##### Euzeny Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cedric 4 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fabelhaftes 5\* Hotel auf Thesen Island. Waren drei Nächte dort und haben es nicht bereut. Es gibt viel zu sehen und zu verköstigen in Knysna. Die besten Restaurants sind fußläufig auf der künstlichen Insel zu finden, sowie direkt hinter der Brücke, die aufs Festland führt. Empfehlen das Hotel definitiv weiter, besonders gut war Frühstück, das beste auf der Garden Route. Wir empfehlen nicht die Suite zu buchen, da diese in einem separaten Gebäude mit Restaurants gelegen sind und nicht im Haupthaus. Hier stören dann Lärm und die Abzugshaube. Besser das Haupthaus buchen, gerne auch mit Poolblick. ##### Cedric Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia 19 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Heerlijk verblijf ehad.

We checked in earlier. The reception staff were so accommodating and friendly. They kept our baggage for us the morning prior to check-in. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff are world-class. What a pleasure to see happy faces all the time. ##### Christel Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gurveen 20 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique character, very pretty All rooms face the pool and the dining hall is at the pool... not much privacy for swimming ##### Gurveen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 13 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Special experience This is a wonderful boutique hotel, that has done an amazing job preserving so much of the original power station equipment throughout the hotel. The history of the power station & Thesen Island make for a memorable stay. The staff are all incredibly friendly & helpful. ##### Gary Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Logan 27 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff, great food and great location ##### Logan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Botlierskop Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klein-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Private-Game-Reserve.h2991039.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Paternoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paternoster-Hotels-Paternoster-Dunes-Boutique-Guesthouse.h31911613.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Knysna Quays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knysna-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Knysna-Quays.h21236.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information) ---
