Situated on Thesen Island, in the picturesque seaside town of Knysna, built in a converted power station, is one of the most unique boutique hotels you'll find along the Garden Route - the five-star Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa.
This historical building, one of the oldest structures on Thesen Island, supplied electricity to Knysna and Plettenberg Bay for decades and, when it was transformed into a hotel, it was designed to preserve its historical value. The Turbine’s accommodation comprises luxury hotel rooms, standard rooms, a honeymoon suite and two self-contained suites - all with large showers, separate baths, luxuriously comfy beds, free Wi-Fi, and original artworks.
The hotel is also home to the Island Café Restaurant with tables overlooking the canals or pool deck or nestled between the original refurbished turbines. The Gastro Pub offers classic pub meals with a delicious twist and lagoon sunset views. The Turbine Spa has a wide range of treatments for day visitors as well as hotel guests and, the hotel’s very own adventure centre, the Turbine Water Club, arranges a variety of water and land-based activities such as lagoon cruises, forest walks, city tours and bicycle hire.
