Thesen Island
With the Knysna Yacht Club and Waterfront as neighbours, Thesen Islands is one of Knysna newest and most exclusive developments. Inland canals weave their way around the beautiful homes and private jetties make for quick access to the lagoon. Parks for the kids, a bird sanctuary and a clubhouse with squash and tennis courts make for ideal and safe island holidays. Within walking distance Thesen Harbour Town offers restaurants, boutique shops, beauty therapists, art galleries and a monthly Sunday market.
