The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa, Knysna

Description: The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa

Enjoying a prime waterfront location on Thesen Island, The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa is set in a strikingly restored and modernised former power station. Much of the historic machinery that was used in the facility has been painstakingly restored, and now forms an integral part of the hotel's aesthetics. This fabulous property offers luxurious accommodation, exceptional cuisine and world-class facilities, all with stunning estuary and ocean panoramas.

Ideally placed for relaxing stays on Thesen Island, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful spots on South Africa's Garden Route, The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa has a number of arrangements with prominent local adventure sport enterprises, to create the Turbine Water Club, which offers an excellent range of water-based experiences, including pontoon hire, kayak hire, fishing and sailing charters, kite-surfing, and stand-up-paddle boarding, among many other options. Other outdoor activities include mountain biking, hiking and para-gliding. Keen golfers are also especially well-catered for, with three excellent courses within ten kilometres of the hotel.

The Turbine has two restaurants: The Tapas Bar, which light meals for lunch and dinner, and The Island Cafe, an a la carte restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Island Cafe is a unique setting for dining, with tables overlooking the canal, the pool or the deck, and nestled among the majestic refurbished turbines. Cosy open fireplaces and sliding glass doors mean that dining can be enjoyed in all weathers, both indoors and outdoors.
