We had a fantastic stay at the Turbine Boutique Hotel last weekend. After our relaxing afternoon lagoon cruise on the Ocean Sailing Charter, Lara Bella, we checked into our hotel room (two minutes walk from Sirroco Harbour). We were delighted to discover that our room was on the top floor with lofty views of the canals and the hotel swimming pool. The balcony offered a great vantage point from with to view the passing canoes and paddlers. We savored a long rest in the king size bed before our evening meal. We had a quick cocktail at the Gastro Pub, the Mojito was perfect! The art work and interesting architecture make for a spectacular backdrop. The manager treated us a tour and showed us the old furnace, the turbines and steam tubes which were used in the original power plant. The rich history of Thessen Island is celebrated in every facet of the building, we particularly loved seeing the cross section of the 800 year old Yellowwood and seeing the photographs of the Knysna foresters and carpenters. Our evening meal at the Island Café was spot on. The server was polite, well spoken and knowledgeable. I had fresh pan seared hake with confit tomatoes, tender steamed vegetables and a vanilla and lime velouté. My husband had the flame grilled chicken with ancient grains and roast butternut. The standard of the food was superb. The desserts followed on the same high standard - sticky toffee pudding with locally made cassata ice-cream, almond crunch and date purée and syrupy, crisp baklava with luscious orange mousse, Turkish Delight, macadamia nut butter and vanilla ice-cream. We slept soundly and had perfectly cooked eggs Benedict for breakfast. My only regret is not booking a spa trea**ent. Ill have to come back for that!
