Your Romantic Getaway To Knysna

Once in a while, every couple needs to take a little time for themselves away from the distractions of every day’s humdrum.

We tend to get so caught up in the practicalities of life that we forget to invest in the foundation of what that life is built on – a loving partnership based on mutual consideration and, hopefully, a healthy dose of romance!

If you’re looking for an escape to recharge together, look no further than our hotel, where you’ll be provided with ample opportunity to chat, relax and explore. Here’s a glimpse of what your romantic Knysna getaway might look like…

Browse our 5-star accommodations options and select a suite that’s best suited to your needs.

Every room at the Turbine Hotel & Spa is unique in size, aspect and décor. We recommend securing a room that overlooks the canals to add an additional dose of romance to your stay. This way you can spend every evening enjoying a glass of wine together on your private balcony as the sun sets over the Knysna Lagoon.

To get the most out of your stay, we also offer wonderful packages that combine a host of romantic elements – from a bottle of wine in your room upon arrival, to relaxing couples treatments at our on-site spa.

Once your room has been booked, you can enjoy the anticipation of your romantic getaway to Knysna together!

Once here, there is plenty you can do, both at the hotel and in our immediate surroundings.

Kick off your escape by booking a treatment at the Turbine Spa, which has wonderful options for him and her. Our signature treatments often come paired with complimentary lunches at Island Café, our cosy eatery where you’ll enjoy many delicious meals together without worrying about the cooking or who’s on dish duty!

The café leads out onto our beautiful pool deck situated right on the canals. Get comfortable on a lounger and watch the passing boats as they lazily chug by.

This might inspire you to go on a romantic sunset cruise, one that we can easily arrange for your convenience.

After your cruise, wander into the Gastro Pub, another one of our food outlets that serves tapas and pub grub along with the most marvelous cocktails. There’s always something on at the Gasto Pub, be it a quiz night or happy hour. Check our Events Page to see which events coincide with your stay and get ready to enjoy a wonderful night out in Knysna!
