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 was flooded! This is the only reason we have rated this hotel as less than excellent.
Breakfasts are mainly taken at Ile de Pain, just a few yards away, an excellent French cafe that serve delicous cooked breakfasts, cakes and lunches. On Modays Ile de Pain is closed so breakfast is taken at Marios on the Quays. This is a 15 minute walk away. Again, the breakfasts are excellant (as are the Pizzas later in the day).
If you are staying here on Saturday book a table for dinner before you get there as nearly everywhere was fully booked during our visit.

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 Thesen Island on the lagoon. Thesen Island presently has much development work on-going, however this has little impact on the Lofts. There are a number of restaurants within the development offering various cuisine and you can walk to the main harbour in about 7mins). As the development work completes this means increasing facilities (shops, restaurants etc) in the immediate area of the Lofts.
