Welcome to The Lofts Boutique Hotel, a family-owned hotel that promises to offer you the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Located on the edge of the picturesque Knysna Estuary. We are located on Thesen Island, a world-renowned destination that provides visitors with an abundance of shopping and dining options, as well as easy access to a variety of activities and tours. Whether you’re interested in kayaking (free access from the hotel), taking a sunset cruise, or exploring the surrounding natural beauty, there is something for everyone. Our hotel features beautifully appointed rooms & apartments, each designed with your comfort in mind. With luxurious bedding, plush furnishings all the modern amenities you need. Some rooms have exquisite views of the Knysna Lagoon (King Room with Lake View) others have large sunny private balconies (Standard Double Room) or self-catering facilities (Apartments). For those looking for delicious food and drinks, we have two of the best restaurants in town right inside our building. Our hotel restaurant, Nest Food Bar, serves brunch, dinner, and cocktails, and is known for its unique decor and vibey atmosphere. The famous café and bakery Ile de Pain is located right next door and is renowned for its artisanal bread, pastries, and café-style menu! We pride ourselves on offering the best sunsets in town, and the friendliest hospitality to all our guests. We are also well-known for our ‘Sunset Sessions’ event, held on Saturdays (during the summer season), with a live DJ playing house music on our deck, providing the perfect backdrop for you to enjoy the stunning sunset views over the Lagoon. Activities & Surrounds: - Le Spa Tranquill & Turbine Spa is nearby for guests to enjoy luxury spa treatments. - Simola & Pezula Golf Estate, as well as Knysna Golf Club is less than a 15-minute drive from the hotel. - Thesen Harbor Town & Knysna Waterfront are within 0.6 mi.
