Turbine Hotel Thiesen Hotel – Knysna, South Africa

The Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa comprises 26 rooms and suites, the Turbine Spa, the 90-seater Island Café, the Gastro Pub, together with conference facilities, pool deck, jetty for motorised pontoon cruises and a host of modern facilities, which tastefully complement the refurbished facilities and equipment brought back to life around the property, giving it status as one of the top hotels in Knysna.

The original wood boiler, four electricity generators and much of the equipment have been fully restored and blend in with the hotel’s décor themes. Each bedroom has been individually decorated and is themed and named to reflect the rich cultural, historical and geographic diversity of Knysna.

The hotel stands out among other hotels in Knysna as it is a living testimony to the past of this unique operation and site. Once again it resumes its place as part of the Thesen Islands and Knysna community, as a heritage site and haven for both locals to drop in and for tourists passing through this extraordinary destination.
