Loved staying 2 nights here! Friendly, very comfortable, quirky hotel/apartment! Staying on the island was beautiful. Great restaurants, beautiful sunsets and a feeling of serenity! Watched the fog roll in through the headlands and sit over the harbour - magic! Husband went mountain biking with a guide into the forests! Hotel made arrangements and he was collected from the front... More

We only stayed 1 night in the 2 bed apartment but wished we could have stayed longer to make use of all the facilities. Hotel has a fantastic location overlooking the lagoon with a small plunge pool for communal use and onsite spa as well as the most friendly staff you could wish for in a hotel. The design of... More

We stayed at The Lofts Hotel this weekend and it was great! Stunning setting, great service and lovely rooms. we will definately be back! The hotel is within walking distance from good coffee shops, restaurants and shops. It is also within walking distance from the Knysna Waterfront.

Regarding the view, it does not get better than that! You can even take a steamy bath whilst watching the lagoon and not be seen, how awesone? The bed quality was amazing (after a previous night in a horrible place), the room totally dark, just what we were looking for. The staff were very friendly, well trained and very helpful.... More

Poorly managed - we did not expect to be hustled to buy a "Persian carpet" on arrival. Room was sparse, the "bath/shower" downright dangerous and half of the "lagoon view" comprised the people next door. We were above reception, next to the stairs and therefore on a noisy location in spite of having asked for a quiet one. The furnishings... More

Good upmarket location & friendly staff. Pity our room was facing houses & not the lagoon. Room comfortable with few small issues: lounge carpet badly stained, small bath & tiny toilet seat, bathroom floor had hairs on it & dirty towel left hanging on back of door (rectified quickly by reception), nice toiletries, no bath robe in this room, TV...

We booked a 'Luxury two bedroom self catering suite' for 2 nights in November 2012 as our between stop for our honeymoon. Good points: Great location Very clean and quality furnishings Our negative points: There was no washing machine just kitchen / cooking appliances. We were sold a 2 bedroom suite - it was located at the end of the... More
