Saffron is located on sought after Thesen island. The house has 3 en-suite bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. There is a glass door leading to the patio area with a built in braai. The house is located on the canal so not suitable for kids that cannot swim. There is a mooring if you have a boat and guests have the use of a canoe. Modern, clean furnishings and white linen. House has DSTV and wifi. Wifi credit must be purchased from the service provider.
I live in close proximity to the house. I have been renting out holiday homes for the last 4 years and also sell property. I love travelling!
Thesen Islands is the ideal location for a dream holiday on the Garden Route. It is within a close walk to shops and restaurants of Thesen Harbour town and the Knysna Quays Waterfront. There is 24 hour security access control. Thesen has safe lagoon swimming beaches, tennis and squash courts, kids playground, birdwatching and safe walking and cycling.
