Villa - Goose Island on Thesen Island

Goose Island – private island on an island.

Space galore and water water everywhere!

A recent soft refurb has given this spacious home on very popular Thesen Islands a glamorous upgrade. Bedrooms overlook the canals and most open directly onto waterside verandas where you can take a peaceful morning coffee or drop a line into the lagoon and catch the ‘early fish’, before joining friends and family for a lazy brunch.

Everything you need is within walking distance, shopping, cafes, restaurants and bakeries for the discerning and activities and sports facilities for the active and the young.
Bring your own boat and moor to the private jetty or arrange for our skipper to collect you on our private speed boat for a tour of the Knysna lagoon and waterways of Thesen Island. Sups and kayaks can be hired locally as can bicycles. Walk on the shaded pathways or cycle to enjoy any of the many activities of Thesen Island available free of charge to our guests.

Living areas

Accessed via a bridge over the canals, and surrounded by water on every side, this home is a true island on an island and the perfect place for guests to enjoy access to water based activities or just laze poolside and watch as the water parade drifts by.

The large kitchen dominated by a central island connects to the dining room and 2 living areas with comfortable couches. Choose to lounge and enjoy the smart TV, or look out over the water and enjoy a moment with friends in the airy lounge that also opens to the swimming pool deck.
The pool deck has a covered al fresco dining area and BBQ as well as sun loungers at the edge of the water. Cool down in the blue waters of the pool or dip into the lagoon waters – for the fit and active a longer open water swim through the canals should not be missed.

A closed courtyard off the other side of the kitchen is protected from the ocean breezes and offers alternative outdoor dining.
A separate scullery and laundry are fully equipped (including additional fridge space for big parties).

Parking for up to 4 cars. 2 on the island and 2 at the bridge.
