Our take
I would recommend Turbine Hotel & Spa to anyone who wants Knysna with some character. The converted power station gives it a look no standard hotel can copy, the suites face the lagoon, and the spa, tapas bar and wine cellar make evenings easy. A 9.2 rating from 790 reviews backs that up. Families can use the pool and sun deck, but the atmosphere is more sophisticated than playful, so I would lean towards couples and quiet-minded travellers.
- Explore the hotel's unique architecture, a fascinating blend of old and new.
- Unwind in a spa treatment, especially a hot-stone massage, for ultimate relaxation.
- Enjoy a sundowner at the tapas bar, taking in the lagoon views from the sun deck.
- Consider this hotel for a romantic getaway or a peaceful family vacation.
