OVERVIEW:
The hotel is a boutique hotel with a difference as it has been built around Knysna's old power station. The machinery has been restored and has been skilfully incorporated into the ground floor reception area.
ACCESS & LOCATION:
The Turbine Hotel sits on Thesen Island in Knysna Lagoon. It is just a short walk across a causeway from the Knysna Waterfront and town centre where there are some lovely shops and restaurants. It is approximately a 50 min drive from George Airport.
ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT THE TURBINE HOTEL:
Although there is an industrial element to the architecture, it blends seamlessly with luxury. The 25 suites are all extremely comfortable. Food is also good; there is a tapas bar for light meals and a very good restaurant for fine dining.
**For families with children under the age of 6 years, we always request a ground floor room or a room without a balcony for safety reasons. If you stay here with us, please ensure this is what you are given.**
ACTIVITIES AT THE TURBINE HOTEL:
- The Turbine is an interesting place to stay due to its industrial connection. However, it has been built on quite a small plot, so although it has a very nice swimming pool and deck, it does not have a garden.
- This area is one of the most attractive stretches of the Garden Route, with a spectacular coastline, sandy beaches, beautiful lagoons, miles of forest and the picturesque backdrop of the Outeníqua Mountains - definitely worth exploring during a visit.
