A daily house keeper looks after the house and you so this is a real holiday for all!
It has been designed to make the most of the Knysna light and breezes with many windows and high full hieght ceilings.
The area is stunning and there are many things and places to explore.
Further details
There is wheelchair access to the ground floor, where there is one large bedroom.
The apartment can sleep upto four. The four bedroom house upto eight and the main house twelve.
Further details indoors
Taliesin can either be rented out as a six or four bedroom house depending on the beds needed. There is also a two bedroom apartment which is rented out when the house is vacant. This makes it a very special apartment as it has the sole use of the gardens, decks & pool of the main house. All the beds & linen are of a very high standard so you will get a great nights sleep. There are many restaurants in the area. The small island boasts three.
Further details outdoors
Parking is in an automated garage. There is room for two cars. Taliesin has it's own boat dock. If you don't have a boat it is great to fish off. The island being private is very secure and you will see many children cycling around without the adults. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained.

“An absolute must stay, breathtaking views from a perfect location”
We spent 4 days with friends and our kids at Taliesen on Thesen during the Knysna Oyster Festival. The house is beautiful with loads of space, large entertainment areas and stunning views. Our children were cycling around the estate and enjoying the lagoon whilst we were enjoying sundowners on the veranda overlooking the lagoon. We can't wait to be back.

“Magnificant House”
Thank you for an unforgettable holiday experience at Taliesin. I am certain the family will treasure it for a long time. This house was perfect for our large family. From the reception at the security gate to the daily housekeeping service was excellent. Taliesin was perfectly situated for all our holiday requirements. A short drive daily took us to all the tourist hotspots in the Knysna region.

A perfect stay: friendly welcome, house is in a very quiet location, but near enough to shops and restaurants. Its very stylish decorated and offers so many lounges inside and outside. The maid is very kind. A big table accommodates up to twelve guests.The views from all rooms and decks are so beautiful. The garage offers space for two cars. Internet connection is fast and easy to handle. We'd love to come back.
