The Lofts Boutique Hotel
From €94 /person
An architectural wonder found on the edge of the Knysna Lagoon
Located in the heart of the Knysna Lagoon on Thesen Island, The Lofts Boutique Hotel makes for a revitalising stay in the centre of this bustling Garden Route town. The hotel offers multiple room options presented in various styles, each individually decorated with a medley of colours and textures. The sundeck and splash pool are perfect for summertime relaxation, and during low tide, travellers can hop down onto the sand and enjoy a quiet walk on the beach. Alternatively, guests can visit the privately-owned spa, stroll through The Boatshed and enjoy the unique shops, or indulge in a superb meal at île de païn, one of South Africa’s top restaurants.
