Avocet Cottage

 
 

Description

Avocet Cottage is situated on a small lagoon beach on Thesen Island, one of the most desirable places to stay in Knysna. The cottage is within easy walking distance to a wonderful selection of shops and restaurants in Thesen Harbour Town – including the irresistible île de pain café and artisanal bakery.

This light and breezy, two-bedroom cottage is fully self-catering, has two bathrooms and is perfect for a holiday with kids. Gorgeous open-plan living areas with French doors lead onto a wooden deck overlooking a small Thesen Island beach. Enjoy lazy days whilst the kids are playing on the lagoon beach.

The lounge area has a TV, DVD player and DStv, for which you need to bring your Smartcard unless prior arrangement is made for us to supply one. There is a wood fireplace for the colder winter evenings. The fully-equipped kitchen has a washing machine and beautiful views over the beach.

Thesen Island is an ideal getaway for families with 24-hour security access, safe walking and cycling paths, lagoon beach, kids’ playground, bird watching and squash and tennis courts.

The best in Knysna
peter shiel, Spain
02 March 2012
Avocet was perfect in all respects. Wonderfully furnished and equipped; wonderful situation set on lovely lagoon; restnts/bars within 5 mins walk; 5mins drive to the adjacent Waterfront development with even more amenities. And 5 mins drive to Town centre should you need it. All facilitated by the most friendly, helpful and charming Lianne.
Lovely
