We’re honoured to share that The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa has been voted Best Hotel / Boutique Hotel in the 2025 Best of Knysna & Plett Readers’ Choice Awards!

Following a feature in Luxuria Lifestyle International and Luxury Safari Magazine, The Turbine Boutique Hotel & Spa is proud to announce a landmark year of accolades, including the 2025 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award, placing the property in the top 10% of hotels globally.
The hotel, a masterclass in “adaptive reuse,” was once a decommissioned wood-burning power station. Management attributes much of its recent international momentum to the strategic exposure provided by these premier luxury publications.

“The visibility garnered through Luxuria Lifestyle and Luxury Safari Magazine was a turning point for us,” says the Turbine Management Team”. It introduced our sustainable, heritage-focused concept to a global stage, directly influencing our nominations and subsequent wins as the Best Boutique Hotel and Best Outdoor Activity in the 2025 Best of Knysna & Plett Readers’ Choice Awards.”

Beyond its industrial aesthetic, the hotel has been lauded for its environmental commitment, with its surrounding Thesen Islands Marina maintaining the prestigious Blue Flag eco-label. The synergy between world-class storytelling and a world-class guest experience has solidified The Turbine as a “must-visit” destination on South Africa’s Garden Route.
