The Lofts Boutique Hotel

 
 

Description

In the heart of the Garden Route, hidden away in the boatshed right on the edge of the Knysna Lagoon, you will discover this unique and exclusive 4 Star boutique hotel set on Thesen Island.

Luxury loft accommodation offers the discerning guest a combination of luxurious living and breathtaking views over the scenic Knysna lagoon. Our accommodation comprises three Luxury Lagoon Suites with uninterrupted views of the lagoon, nine Luxury Loft Rooms of which one is a self-catering apartment, and three newly added Luxury Two-bedroom Self-catering Suites. Each of the suites or rooms are furnished and styled with thoughtful touches.

The Lofts Boutique Hotel enjoys the tranquility of an island, the magnificent views of the surrounding green hills and the power of nature expressed by the changing moods of the lagoon. The building's entire existing timber framework has been retained and all the timber cladding has been re-used, while the exceptional refurbishment of the boatshed adds interest and character. This environment reminds us to adhere to the guidelines which make the boutique hotel a better place to stay, where the earth, environment, products that are cultivated, and the people of the earth are treated with great respect.

A beautiful splash pool and Martini bar lounge, privately owned beauty spa, health and wellness centre, and specialized shopping on the water’s edge of the Knysna lagoon contribute to ensure complete peace of mind and an absolute luxurious stay.

A beautiful breakfast at the famous Ile de Pain Bread Café, one of South Africa’s top 10 restaurants, is presented in relaxed sophisticated style. Various other restaurants are also available to choose from on Thesen Island.

A wonderful surprise. Huge rooms and space to lose yourself on comfy sofas. Beautiful views in the communal parts of the hotel. Excellent location and lovely, friendly staff. We'll definitely be returning.
We all enjoyed our stay

The service and welcome was warm and friendly. The facilities were as we remembered them from last year, which was perfect. The hotel is situated in an ideal location. This time we took a canoe out for a paddle in the lagoon which was great fun. We all enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return visit some day.
