The 5-star Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa is situated on Thesen Islands in Knysna. Intuitive architecture pays homage to the old power station it once was. Accommodation comprises 26 rooms – luxury and standard rooms, a honeymoon suite and two expansive self-contained suites adjacent to the hotel.
The recently renovated 90-seater Island Café Restaurant, with inside tables nestled between the original turbines and outside tables overlooking the canal offers breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and monthly food and wine pairings. The Gastro Pub offers classic pub meals with a delicious turbine twist, and live music on Friday evenings in season.
There are excellent conference facilities for business visitors – two conference rooms with free Wi-Fi, full audio-visual facilities and tailored catering packages. Group bookings are welcome for events, weddings and small conferences. The Turbine Spa has a wide range of treatments for hotel guests and day visitors. The recent installation of a solar system and backup generator ensures that load shedding outages are a thing of the past.
