Great location and hotel. But they must sort out the WIFI - constantly lost connection in the room

Stunning location - close to all the restaurants in Thesen

WIFI was pretty bad and TV channels very limited for a 5 star hotel

interesting structure of the hotel, great location, good coffee

The location is perfect for thesen island, and just off Knysna Waterfront. Breakfast staff was very friendly, rooms were spacious

For the double room, there is no door to the bathroom and the shower is facing the room with no privacy
