First, you are greeted with a glas of champagne on arrival. The magnificent African design of lobby catches your eyes instantly. From our spacious room with own fireplace we loved the view on beautiful garden. You also get free beverages and snacks in the fridge.

What an incredible decoration. The property is so pretty with all the turbines from the days the hotel was a power station, mixed with modern paintings and what not. Really adds to the atmosphere. It's connected to a gastropub which was very convenient in the evening because we were tired and didn't even have to leave the property to have a nice burger and beers(plus live music). The breakfast is amazing, I got myself a delicious eggs benedict with smoked salmon. There was loadshedding but the hotel honors its past and has a generator so we were not left in the dark. Finally, loved the vibe in Thesen Island, the canals, the calm streets, etc.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Lofts Boutique Hotel in Knysna, South Africa. I was absolutely blown away by the level of service and attention to detail that I received from Allan and his team. The hotel is located in a great spot, right in the heart of Knysna. It's close to all the shops, restaurants, and bars, but it's also quiet and peaceful. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The staff at The Lofts are incredibly friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that I had a wonderful stay. Allan himself was especially attentive and accommodating. He took the time to learn about my interests and make recommendations for things to do in the area. I would highly recommend The Lofts Boutique Hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and relaxing stay in Knysna. I would also like to make a special thank you to Allan and his team for making my stay so enjoyable.

    A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.

    A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

    Natures Valley is very special.

    Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

    Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.

    We really enjoyed our time in Knysna, we had several activities planned and these were all fantastic. The restaurants in the tare great, there are loads of options. The town itself is quite busy and buzzing, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday this might not be the best option.

    Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town.

    Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town. It can get very busy in season but an absolute pleasure out of season. Beaches are exquisite and there are plenty of activities in and around for couples and families. Must recommend the Waffling Whale at Formosa - food is delicious and the staff are amazing. If you want brilliant coffee you need to visit the Sotto's Deli!

    The number of bergies or street people hanging at the SPAR and surrounding area for the size of town was disconcerting. Nearly had an incident regarding the snatch of a cell phone. Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.
