The location is also great. We thoroughly enjoyed riding the bikes around the island, dipping in the pool, and taking out the kayaks to the river!

    The resort truly offers everything you need to relax and recharge your batteries after a long year. The location is excellent. The Kids Club was a fantastic benefit and the two staff, Philani and Akhona made is great fun. Kids could not wait to go everyday. The waterfront villas gives you a unspoilt view of the nature reserve, Thessen Island and Knysna Heads. The private waterways at the resort means easy launching of your own watercraft.
