The Lofts Boutique Hotel

A Hidden Treasure in Knysna Owned by a Family

The Lofts Boutique Hotel is a family-run getaway on Thesen Island with a view of the beautiful Knysna Lagoon. Our wonderfully renovated structure used to be a historic boat-building shed. It combines nautical history with modern comfort. Because we love hospitality, we make sure that every visitor has a unique and enjoyable stay away from the city’s noise.
