The Turbine is a unique 5-star boutique hotel located on Thesen Island in Knysna and surrounded by water on 3 sides.

The wow factor of the Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa is in its unique architecture. The hotel is located on the premises of an old power station that has been transformed into a holiday paradise, while incorporating the original, now restored machinery.

There are 24 individually themed rooms, all with en-suite facilities, air conditioning, stocked mini bar, tea/coffee station, flat screen television with DVD player & library and a writing desk. Guests can choose between the spacious Standard or Luxury rooms, or the Honeymoon Suite with its lounge and entertainment area. Some of the luxury rooms have a sleeper couch, ideal for families with a child.

There are two restaurants as well as three pubs located around the hotel with their own unique set up. The Turbine Water Club offers al fresco dining from the deli, oysters from the champagne bar and a wide variety of activities on both land and the Knysna lagoon. There is also a pool to cool off after a day of sightseeing or you can indulge in a spa treatment.

The Turbine Hotel is a great base to explore the quaint town of Knysna as well as the surrounding Garden Route areas extending to the beaches of Plettenberg Bay, Knysna Forests and the sleepy smaller towns of this beautiful pride of South Africa.
