If you’re heading out along the Garden Route this winter consider a breakaway at one of South Africa’s most unusual hotels – The Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa, situated on the Thesen Islands, Knysna – and take advantage of its great winter and advance booking offers. Knysna is beautiful at any time of year but there’s something magical about this little town in the deep of winter, and the five-star Turbine – revamped from an historical wood-burning power station – makes the perfect base for a warming winter weekend.
There are three winter-warming offers valid from until 30 September: a 15% discount for a one-night stay; a 20% discount for a two-night stay or more (minimum two nights) and a 30% discount for a three-night stay or more (minimum three nights).Then there is the Advance Purchase/Early Booking offer – valid until January – where, if you book at least 60 days in advance, for a (minimum) two-night stay ,you’ll be rewarded with 12% off your accommodation, or for a (minimum) three-night stay, less 15% off your accommodation!
Terms and conditions apply. All these offers only apply to adults sharing, include breakfast, are subject to availability and exclude peak season.
There is always plenty to do in Knysna – even in winter! Aside from kayaking in the canals, sunset cruises on the lagoon, hiking into the ancient Knysna Forest or paragliding from the mountains across the beautiful bays, there is also the town’s most famous celebration –the Knysna Oyster Festival in July, the flamboyant Pink Loerie Mardi Gras and Parade, and the Knysna Motor Show, followed by the Jaguar Simola Hill Climb (classic car displays and adventurous races).
