Stayed here for two nights in one of the upper rooms. the room was large, the location on the Island was good. There is a good nearby restaurant (cirroco?)..good food. A good base from which to explore the area. more

We did stay in room 8 which one of the previous reviewers warned against. There was a lot of noise from an air conditioning unit next door. We complained to reception about this and it was dealt with straight away. The receptionist was very apologetic. The following day we had a note of apology in our room and some chocolate... more

we spent 2 nights here in nov after being recommended to us by friends. The room was very spacious and had everything we needed. Unfortunately the pool was not very clean. Breakfast is served at one of two local cafes - you get a voucher for up to R140 per couple - Il de pain nextdoor was fantastic for breakfast... more

I can only assume that all the very positive reviews came from guests that stayed in the 'front part' of the hotel. The place is definitely quirky and original. We were thrilled when we checked in. Unfortunately, our room was at the very end of the corridor, and was directly on top of the bakery/cafe. Thus, there was a permenent... more

Upon arriving to The Lofts and seeing our room, my husband and I both wished we were spending more than just one night there. This is the ultimate place to relax--our room had a huge balcony with two memory-foam reclining lounge chairs. The entire hotel has a very serene and calming marine theme, as it is built into an old... more

Reception "LuLu" was very welcoming and showed me around. The room was quiet and ideally suited for one with a huge balcony. The hotel is centrally located on Theusen Island in walking distance of resturants and little shops. Sunday there is a local craft market. more

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
