About the Hotel

Th36 Sawtooth Lane, Thesen Islands, Knysna, South Africa, 6570

Turbine Hotel & Spa is a boutique 5-star hotel on Thesen Islands which offers guests luxurious accommodation, exceptional cuisine, and a range of world-class facilities.

Unique Room Design

Each of the rooms at Turbine Hotel & Spa provide luxurious amenities such as a flat screen TV, WiFi, a fully-stocked mini bar, and a tea and coffee station. The décor of the Lagoon Wing makes use of soft aquatic hues like turquoise, silver, and pale greens of the eelgrass and reeds that line the famous estuary.

Distinctive Dining Venues

The 90-seater Island Café boasts an spacious terrace for al fresco dining, an airy interior, and a delectable menu for breakfasts, light lunches and gourmet dinners. The Gastro Pub is the ideal spot for a magical sundowner complemented by a mouth-watering bite to eat from an imaginitive pub-style menu.

Luxurious Spa Treatments

The Turbine Spa offers an exotically mosaic-tiled Rasul Steam Room - perfect for loved-up couples, and an exclusive Spa Massage Pedi Chair for simultaneous back massage and pedicure. The Knysna Journey, a 90-minute spoil, starts with a relaxing foot scrub and massage, ending with a full body massage of your choice.

Exciting Nearby Adventures

Thesen Island presents an ideal launchpad for diverse activities including lagoon cruises, whale watching and kayaking the canals. The scenic drive to Storms River takes you along to the Bloukrans Bridge, where you can tackle the world's highest commercial bungee jump.

Strategic Location
