The Lofts were a really nice place to stay. The rooms were clean and roomy with private balconies that have a albeit obstructed view of the lagoon. The architecture of the boatshed is really unique, you can easily walk to everything on Thesen Island and parking is very easy. The only drawback is the lack of reception after 7:30pm, which... more

The hotel itself is lovely, well maintained and serviced, We stayed in the Tower Suite #1 which has a great view over the lagoon. The room has a large shower with two heads, a toilet in a separate room, but the bath was extremely small. The hotel is located on the very upmarket Thesen Island, which has lovely restaurants, shops... more

The place for me was really good, comfortable and warm, I love to bring my loved one on the next visit. up to today I still tell my friends and colleagues about that place, and Knysna at large (mind you it was my first time in Knysna). The only problem I've notice is the signs that clearly gives a direction... more

We tried this place out after doing some googling, and found that it exceeded our expectations. For the amount of money they charge, the rooms are huge (we got a double storey apartment, with 2 x bathrooms + lounge + kitchen etc). They don't have a lot of rooms, so you don't have to contend with hordes of people. The... more

this hotel is in a great location on Thessen Island - nicely away from the noise of Knysna, short walk away from the waterfront - possibly the best location in Knysna. Hotel is beautiful - rooms well appointed and large terrace area with day beds - perfect for drinks before an evening meal. And for that, we would recommend Scirocco... more

When you visit Knysna for a weekend you get a choice of either a guest house/B&B or somewhere like the Lofts. Financially they are about the same cost when there are two of you travelling. What a choice, from the easy online reservation and help from the staff and warm welcome on arrival, we were very impressed. The building is... more

The Lofts are in a lovely position. The staff are very helpful and accomodating. Ile de pain for breakfast was worth the visit in its self. However I cannot say I felt completely comfortable with our 6 night stay. We had booked via an agent for 2 doubles and a single and were offered a double room and apartment, with... more

We stayed at the Lofts for 2 nights as part of our recent trip to SA. It's an ideal stop off point on the Garden Route and whilst the whole area was very quiet when we visited it was just perfect for 3 workaholics seeking to relax. The rooms were very clean, modern and extremely tastefully decorated. The views across... more

Just returned from a 3 week holdiay in SA and stayed at The Lofts for 4 nights. Excellent as usual - been there twice before. Lovely bedrooms/ bathrooms over the lagoon; service first class ( Rhoda is a great asset) and of course breakfast at Ile du Pain - what could be better. A little more outside space for sitting... more
