"Simply one of the very best so far"

18 April 2017

"If you manage to secure a booking at this beautiful home you can be assured of the very best and want for little. Of the homes we have stayed in, and seen via friends who have also rented, this is by far one of the best equipped. Everything is of the highest quality and cleanliness (thanks Elizabeth for being so amazing) and you feel as though you are the very first guests ever to stay in this lovely home. Arrive and enjoy your stay and you will not be disappointed. Just be aware that you are in close proximity to neighbours so any late night, into midnight, dinner parties on the deck are a no-no, as we discovered the hard way. Thank you the awesome stay Estelle. Your home is one of the very best so far."

"Beautiful holiday home"

07 May 2014

"We just spent a week at Thesen Island with our two kids. The house is beautifully decorated, very clean and well maintained. It has everything you need from dishwashing tablets to swimming towels, a cleaning service is also available. The house is located a stone throw away from all the Thesen Island restaurants - very convenient! We stayed in April and it was lovely and quiet. The Island itself is a stunning place for a family holiday - lots of space to ride bikes, go for a run or rent canoes and spend time on the canals. A highly recommended house."
