Lazy Island is situated on Thesen Islands in the Knysna lagoon. To enter Thesen Islands, one has to go through a 24-hour security boom, making it a very safe destination. The island offers beautiful walks to bird hides, beaches, a mashie golf course, tennis courts, squash courts, and a scenic walk around the island, especially at night. Adjacent to the residential area is the harbour town, bustling with shops, restaurants, and various tourist activities such as ferry boats, canoe hire, yacht charters, and weekend craft markets. There is also fishing available at the famous old Thesen jetty, where locals can provide tips.

The venue of Lazy Island is divided into three self-catering units: Beach, Driftwood, and Pebble. Guests can rent the entire house or just one unit, each with its own private entrance.
