Hester McGregor. We have a 2 seater canoe on jetty which is available for free.
Well furnished apartment is spacious & comfortable. It has a patio & balcony for viewing sunsets or having a sundowner. Also has a patio, for outdoor meals or relaxing. Very private with own stairway & entrance. Owner Hester, usually welcomes guests & explains amenities and local activities. Plenty of safe walking areas, without even leaving Thesen Island. 24/7 gated security. Island beach with toilets, shower & BBQ facilities nearby. Kiddies playground 5 minutes walk away. Tennis & squash courts nearby but you need to bring your own equipment. Gardens & an outdoor gym.
I enjoy hosting and meeting people from all over the world.
Guests love our Harbour Town & also the nearby Knysna Waterfront with its many yachts, shops and restaurants. Also lovely Waterfront Walkways, hiking, adventure activities and cruises on the Lagoon. Numerous tours and local adventures and cruises can be booked and enjoyed.
