We walked past it and decided to stay there. Beautiful view, peaceful and well designed. The girls at reception were extremely nice- upgraded the room (without us asking!) and gave us great recommendation for exploring the place. more

Location: The Lofts is a boutique hotel in a refurbished boatshed, overlooking Knysna lagoon. It is on Thesen Island in the middle of the lagoon, and connected by a roadbridge to the mainland. It is pertinently just under a mile away from the main waterfront area of Knysna. Thesen Island itself is a new tourist and residential development. As such,... more

Perhaps it was because we stayed at the Lofts during the busiest season of the year. However, almost everything about the hotel was not positive. We were given a room, that was a bit too modern as everything but the toilet was in one room. You would have to know the other person you were staying with very well to... more

We stayed in Loft 1b, Classical Honeymoon Loft. This room was absolutely fabulous, it was large, well equiped, had a Lagoon View and a balcony to two sides. What really let it down was the fact that this particular room had no separate shower, only a hand held shower head in the bath. Hence, every time we showered the bathroom... more

Visited in March 2006. The Lofts is a former boatshed turned beautifully into boutique accommodation and shops. We stayed in a standard Loft room which was beautifully furnished in Moulin Rouge theme. Each room also has an equally beautiful balcony with 2 sun loungers from where we enjoyed views of the lagoon. The Lofts are located centrally in Knysna on... more
