    The resort truly offers everything you need to relax and recharge your batteries after a long year. The location is excellent. The Kids Club was a fantastic benefit and the two staff, Philani and Akhona made is great fun. Kids could not wait to go everyday. The waterfront villas gives you a unspoilt view of the nature reserve, Thessen Island and Knysna Heads. The private waterways at the resort means easy launching of your own watercraft.
