The Lofts Boutique Hotel

We recently stayed at The Lofts Boutique Hotel for 3 nights in Tower 1, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The room had the best view of Knysna — absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and hospitality, which really set the tone for our stay. The room itself was beautiful, stylish, and spacious, and it was cleaned thoroughly every day. Everything was spotless and so well-maintained. We also loved the convenient location — with several great restaurants just a short walk away. We honestly can’t complain about a single thing. Our time at The Lofts was relaxing, comfortable, and exceeded all expectations. We’ll definitely be recommending it to friends and family — and we’re already looking forward to our next stay. Thank you to The Lofts team for making our trip so special!

The design of the hotel is really quirky and offers a unique stay in what was an old boat shed. The loft style rooms are spacious and as a family, gave us more than enough room to store luggage etc. The location on Thesen Island is an ideal base to explore the surrounding area and a short walk across the nearby bridge takes you in the heart of Knysna. We ate The Nest restaurant, located within the hotel. The staff were so welcoming and friendly and provided us with blankets when the sun had set. It’s a beautiful little spot, overlooking the lagoon and is perfect for sundowners and dinners. The onsite bakery is also really good, particularly their pastries. It was a nice touch having a little lounge fridge where you could help yourself to ice cold beer and water. The free kayak rental is also a bonus, although we ran out of time on this trip.

The view out of our Tower room was great. to the left right and centre we had views of the lagoon and all the activity going on. Just watching the tide go in and out with the fishing, boats and children playing was perfect. Lovely spacious room, very comfortable and luxurious. Lovely restaurant where we had some of the best meals of the holiday. We used the hotels bikes to explore the area and could have used their canoes if we had had time.

A beautiful location on the edge of the lagoon. We were lucky to have room T1, a lake view with balcony. A large spacious room, great comfortable bed, excellent shower and facilities in a super boutique hotel. A stylish, superbly presented modern hotel, great staff and free water and even beers in the hotel guest fridge! The sunset was beautiful and we watched from the privacy of our room balcony. Only a short walk into Kynsa harbour and several great restaurants and bars. A truly lovely place all round.

Very smooth check-in and all staff were friendly and professional - Dylan was especially helpful throughput our stay. Lovely room overlooking the bay and breakfast was very good. Great location with a choice of restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity and a wider choice also within walking / short taxi drive distance. Reception supplied towels for our trip to the beach.
