A pleasant surprise great choice we enjoyed a pleasant stay the staff were fantastic and the facilities were outstanding lots of character. Views just spoilt it though

We spent five nights in a luxury 2 bedroom suite at the Boatshed. What a wonderful idea to use the building as all rooms are different. We were pretty much the only guests early September and enjoyed the little home far away from home. We only had one night bad luck when the storm was so bad that the bedroom wall and windows were soaked. Unfortunately, it was really cold then and they could not provide a heater. The next nights were very good and our daughter loved to have her own kingdom on the gallery. This is, however, only for the physical fit as climbing the ladder may not be everyone's idea of a perfect stay.
Thanks also to the lovely lady at the reception who recommended a nice guy to show us the townships in Knysna. We had an unforgettable tour and learned so much about the people and also enjoyed the wonderful dinner we had at the tour guide's own restaurant at night - that was unforgettable!
The Spa was also fantastic - I got a voucher for a bath and massage for my birthday that I had during our stay so I had a wonderful morning!
The Lofts is a very nice spot with beautiful views on the lagoon and at Knysna which we can totally recommend!

The Lofts is very comfortable, and our room had great decor, including quirky exposed beams and a huge covered balcony. It has no restaurant or breakfast facilities of its own, but that's fine, since there are great restaurants within walking distance, and they can give you vouchers for charming breakfast places nearby. The best thing about the Lofts, however, is the service. The ladies at the front desk, Rhoda and Lulu, were both so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They gave us so much great advice about nearby attractions and went out of their way to be helpful to us. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed on Thessen Islands for a one night stop-off and the Lofts hotel was perfect. I would also recommend it for a longer stay.
Good size rooms and bathrooms, very clean, beautiful views from the quiet room, a clarins spa attached ( if required!) and great breakfast at Isle de Pain, if you go for the non- self catered option. The staff were very professional and friendly.
