About Thesen Island

“THESEN ISLAND WELCOMES YOU”

Thesen Island has become Knysna’s biggest selling suburb despite the premium that properties in this prime waterside location attract. Homeowners will be thrilled to know that they have made the right decision.

Aside from the prime waterside & canal locations propelling the suburb to the most sought after in Knysna, it also delivers on a number of factors that have become critical for today’s home buyers. Security is at the top of the list and Thesen Island has one of the most effective security control measure and systems in place. This is critical, especially given that a large portion of homes in the suburb are holiday homes.

There are no walls on the lagoon side and the subliminal freedom that this creates accentuates the secure aspect of estate living here. Children can walk or play freely or paddle their kayaks. Residents also have direct access to the Knysna lagoon.  Facilities that encourage an active lifestyle, a safe and secure beach, sports facilities including a nine-hole golf putting course, all carefully integrated into this peaceful environment.
