                        Thesen Island is one of the two islands in the Knysna Lagoon.  The Blue Room apartments are situated in the Thesen Harbour Town, noted for their selection of shops and restaurants.  Walk down to the water in the evening and dine at Knysna's finest restaurants which are on your doorstep.
The loft apartments have comfortable queen-size beds with cotton percale bedding and feather pillows.  The bathrooms have Victorian baths as well as enormous showers which are big enough for two people.  Extra mattresses and bedding can be provided for small children.  The lounges feature TVs connected to DStv, air-conditioning and balconies to sit in the sun with a good book.  The galley kitchens are fully equipped including microwaves and fridges.
There is plenty to see and do in Knysna.  Take a walk through the waterfront, or enjoy a boat tour across the lagoon to the Featherbed Nature Reserve.  Golf enthusiasts can tee off at the Simola Golf Estate - a challenging course with spectacular scenery.  Hikers will be pleased by the great trail options along the Garden Route, and mountain bikers can enjoy a tour in the Knysna Forest.        
"Something should be done about the bath and basis plugs. They all leak and the bath rapidly empties while you having a bath. otherwise great stay"
"A fabulous short stay, impressive attention to detail, beautiful decor and very welcoming hosts. Thanks Diane."
"My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing time staying at Blue Room. <br/><br/>Diane and her team were fantastic hosts and so accommodating to all our needs. They were extremely welcoming and friendly and even let us know that the apartment was ready early so we could move in early.<br/><br/>The location is extremely convenient and it was great to be able to walk down to the restaurants, Knysna Quays and even town. <br/><br/>The deck was a great feature and was fantastic to be able to braai in the evenings as the other apartments we have stayed at on Thesen Island have had much smaller decks with no braai. <br/><br/>A great stay and thanks to Diane for having us!"
"A beautiful spacious apartment with all the necessary self catering needs.<br/><br/>We had a relaxing time in this convenient placed apartment"
"We had such a wonderful stay @the Blue Rooms. The place was clean...had everything we needed!<div>We will definitely stay there again. Its close to restaurants, lagoon and walking distance to the waterfront. Everyday we went out, we got back to a clean and tidy place! Thank you Dianne and staff for making our week so special!</div>"
"We had such a lovely time in this apartment with very tasteful decor and everything you need in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay. Diane and her team made us feel very welcome and was very accommodating when we arrived earlier than planned. We will definitely stay here again. We covered patio was a big bonus.<br />"
"This is really comfortable and convenient."
"Blue Room West was a total disappointment. Firstly the directions were incorrect, sawtooth not sawmill lane as indicated, secondly the owner never answered her cell phone as we were not informed as to where to collect the keys for the apartment, almost an hour later the cashier at Classic Blue provided us with the keys after we approached her enquiring if she knew the owner of the Blue Room apartments directly above the store.When we finally got inside to unpack our things, the fridge had old dairy products left in it, the bathroom was dusty with cobwebs, cobwebs which was present throughout the loft.The kettle had cat hair in it and the kitchen sink and one of the bathroom sinks, whenever used you would get a disgusting clogged drained smell that filled the loft.The bathroom shower head was covered in green mould and the bedding wasn't clean either, not to mention that the bed was very uncomfortable to sleep in also.The braai wasn't cleaned either as for the apparent views of the mountain and lagoon that could be viewed from the loft. You can see the mountain, as for the lagoon you just need to move all the businesses and other apartments, etc. out of the way.To this day I'm still waiting on the owner to return my call - Unprofessional, no hospitality.I would not recommend the Blue Rooms to anyone. It really spoiled the rest of our honeymoon in Knysna"
"Stayed for 5 nights. Attractive decor. Relatively clean. Disappointed with bed and pillows - were uncomfortable. Would have been nice to have washing machine available. Also was told that the rooms would be serviced daily but they were not. Weber braai was left dirty after other guests and although we asked for it to be cleaned it wasn't. The east room is larger and nicer. It is also shielded from street noise. Great to be situated on Thesen Island."
"Close to all the restaurants on Thesen Island and Knysna Quay - so eating out was easy. The Red Room has a nice patio - with braai area which over looks the main street. Linen and towels changed regularly and cleaned daily. Owner very hospitable."
"The room is not comfortable for stays longer than a day. The kitchen lacks the basics. The room also has a cold feel to it as it does not get much sun. We felt most unwelcome when we couldn't find the address and the contact person on the booking form will not answer her phone. The geyser is too small and the water runs cold while the second person is taking a shower."
"We had a fabulous stay at Blue Rooms. The place is very cosy, intimate and has a Paris feel to it, hence a lovely place for a romantic getaway. I will definitely be back."
