The 90-seater Island Café boasts an spacious terrace for al fresco dining, an airy, vibrant interior, and a delectable menu for breakfasts, light lunches and gourmet dinners. Tables overlook the canal or are nestled between the original refurbished turbines.

The Gastro Pub is the ideal spot for a magical sundowner complemented by a mouth-watering bite to eat from an imaginitive pub-style menu. Offering something a little different to the the Knysna restaurants on show, at the Gastro Pub you can relax on the deck for cocktails and craft beer overlooking the canal, or enjoy the unique interior of the hotel’s fifth turbine. A massive lifting hook and chains dating from the power plant days certainly makes for an interesting talking point.
