At the Loerie is situated in the heart of Knysna's CBD, it was built in 1883, one of the first buildings of purpose. Knysna has since grown and developed and this unique guesthouse has too... Parking is onsite and secured by an electric fence and a motorised gate. At The Loerie has a back up power supply in the form of an inverter to keep the lights and WiFi on during Loadshedding. Many of the original features of the house tell the story of the many lives this house has lived. It is a charming and characterful home, definitally quirky! Each room is individual, and each bathroom configuration is unique. We offer a common lounge area with TV. Our tea and coffee station is situated in this communal area where guests can help themselves to abundant tea and coffee. There is a shared kitchen where our guests can prepare a meal - although, Knysna is on the foodie map and when eating out, you are spoilt for choice. Two large veranda's offer extra seating and outdoor sofas. Knysna's history is in the wood industry and we share our yard with an emporium of second hand and restored furniture, it's a treasure trove on our door step. This also adds a nice element of activity to the week days when the store is open.
At the loerie is in the Heart of Knysna's CBD and we are walking distance from a cool little bar called the Bloo Bistro and a handful of restaurants. Knysna is a colourful town and you will experience all aspect of "life in South Africa" as you wonder the streets. There are some beautiful buildings in our neighbourhood so a daytime wonder is filled with things to see. Colours and contrasts. We have the Woodmill Lane Shopping Centre (an old wood factory) close by, the Knysna Mall in the opposite direction, both have good supermarkets and some interesting shops. There is even an African Market. The Knysna waterfront is a 15 min daytime walk (that’s if you don't find something of interest on route) and Thesen Island, which i like to call "Foodie Island" (the restaurants and the views are equally as satisfying) is just beyond and over a bridge. The natural world in and around Knysna is spectacular and the options are endless - Lagoon, Forest or Beach, you choose what feels right!
