  09 August 2015

  "we had a super stay, the house was very warm due to the under floor heating. The beds were comfortable ensuring a good nights rest.<div>We had a Braai of an evening out on the deck, the children enjoyed the large TV which kept them occupied. The kitchen had all the desired equipment and it was brilliant to have a washing machine and dryer!</div><div><br /></div><div>If there was free WIFI available, it would have been perfect. We found it very difficult to log on, so much so we didn't.</div><div><br /></div><div>I</div>"

• "Feedback on stay at Thesen Island"

  07 October 2014

  "Thank you for a wonderful stay. The house we stayed in had fantastic views. It was clean with all the accessories making it a home away from home. Thesen Island is a clean, neat and very peaceful security complex within close proximity to all the best restaurants and activities. My whole family enjoyed a very relaxed time away and I will definitely recommend it and return in the future."

• "Fantastic"

  29 September 2014

  "Just returned from a long weekend at Thesen Island. Had 2 small kids with us and we all had a fantastic time. The house we stayed in L33 was great, - but i'd hire any house at Thesen. No other place to stay."

• "Picture Perfect!"

  20 January 2014

  "What an ideal setting. The weather was perfect and there is something wonderful about having a lagoon in your backyard. The accommodation was clean and neat and everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you :)"

• "Great family holiday"

  19 December 2013

  "We spent a lovely week at the house as a family of four (4 year old and 10 month old). The house and garden were very well presented, and ideal for our stay. There was plenty to do on Thesen Islands (beach, playground, walks/runs, etc ) and the Harbour Town village was a leisurely walk away. Knysna itself was only a short drive across the causeway. Aside from some moderate vigilance with the stairs, we found this place great for the kids, with the garden and deck safely fenced and ample room inside. Having direct access to the beach from the deck was a particular bonus for us (one of the few houses with this feature). We would happily return, as well as recommend the house to other families."

• "Perfect!"

  "We were 4 guys on a golf tour and the setting was perfect. Nice and peaceful with restaurants and shops conveniently around the corner after a long day of golf to enjoy a meal and a few cold ones. We will definitely return and stay here again."

• "Needs some attention"

  17 February 2013

  "I think pay attention to some things which are not working for egs handle doors, you can be locked for life in the shower bathroom. Patio doors difficult to lock. Small things falling apart. But still I enjoy the house and a place."

• "Weekend off"

• "Romantic bliss"

  02 November 2011

  "I rented this place for a one-night romantic getaway with my girlfriend, and it didn't disappoint. It is very clean and well presented, with a great location right on the waters' edge overlooking a quiet alcove of the lagoon. The main bedroom was impressive, as it has its own balcony and large en-suite bathroom. Thesen Island as a whole is fantastic and it's only a 15-minute walk from the villa to the island's main shops and restaurants, which are also very good. A must-visit place for a unique experience. We finished off our stay with a proposal on the balcony. We are to marry next year."

• "On the waterway"

  01 November 2011

  "A wonderful holiday where children are free to reign and feel safe. Lots to do and Ilse De Pain is a must visit for breakfasts and out-of-this-world bread. Thesen Islands are beautiful and very well kept."

• "Very relaxing"

  23 May 2011

  "My wife and I had an awesome holiday. This became our home away from home and we settled in really nicely. Didn't want to go home after six days on the island. We will definitely visit this particular house again and again!"

• "Highly recommended"

  17 May 2009

  "I would like to begin with my communication on SafariNow and the prompt responses I was receiving from our Host.This was a sign of professionalism and a vacation we were looking forward to.We would ordinarily not book a place we have not received reviews from people we know.Upon our arrival we found the homeowners to be very friendly, the security which is 24hrs made us feel incredibly secure.The home is well kept, well equipped to our surprise as we had not expected the full supply even down to the smallest kitchen accessories. We were at home away from home, we never heard a car go by, nor a dog barking just silence and beauty all around.Everything advertised on the website is what we got, the photo's however do not compliment this home, nor the views - IT'S BETTER.We are already planning our dates for our next trip to Thesens Island L33.Anthony, thank you for opening your home to us, you have a beautiful holiday home.We could not keep our son in one place for too long, too much to explore he too was in heaven.Kind Regards,Francois, Carmeletta & Pierre"

• " A fantastic experience"

  13 October 2008

  "Our stay at Thesen Island was truly a fantastic experience. The unit was beautiful and well kept. The unit was extremely well equipped and we wanted for nothing. The private beach was wonderful for the kids to play on and they enjoyed feeding the ducks and birds. The unit was also peaceful and quiet but close to all the shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back!!"

  09 October 2008

  "On arrival at the airport, it was so cold and windy and I thought, what shall we do if the weather remains like this. I could hear other people talking about the weather and that it is going to get much worse. I felt even more depressed. We got to the car rental, where it took forever - it was cold, windy and my baby was restless. As we entered Knysna, my husband drove on towards the Island and to the apartments. We went into L33 and to my surprise the house was so beautiful, comfortable, warm and secure. I felt like I was at home. It had everything that you could imagine. We were so excited that I even forgot about the weather. This place was just as the pictures sent to me, no exaggeration. I must say the stay was most comfortable, not even the weather got me down. This is a perfect family place. I will definitely recommend Thesen Islands to other people. <br/><br/>Thank you Rooms of Africa and Anthony."
