Renowned as one of the most prestigious luxury estates in the world, Thesen Islands is home to privileged residents and discerning travellers. With limited availability of Thesen Islands properties for lease, this family home is made available as a vacation home to provide families with luxury self-catering vacation accommodation in Knysna, South Africa during December / January each year.
​Thesen Islands was developed to provide residents with a unique lifestyle. Whilst modern city life often makes it impossible for children to use bicycles in their neighbourhood, on Thesen Islands children cycle or skateboard to their friends’ homes by day and/or night, in a safe and secure environment. Islanders stroll along walkways, paddle their kayaks or cruise along on their motor boats. Wide footpaths have been built along all the streets to accommodate walkers, joggers and cyclists and motor vehicles to adhere to a 30 km/h speed limit.
