What better way to enjoy Knysna than a stay on an island at The Lofts Boutique Hotel, located not only in the heart of the Knysna Lagoon, but also in a Blue Flag Marina in the very centre of Knysna?
The unique location of this Boutique Hotel on Thesen Harbour Town sets the tone for a tranquil, revitalising, relaxing and refreshing stay on the island. Driving over the venetian style bridge you are transported to the world of nature, lending an invisible and intangible flavour to your holiday experience at The Lofts Boutique Hotel.
Set within the remodelled timber frame of the old Knysna boatbuilding shed, the hotel rooms take one’s breath away with their industrial refurbishment and design. This fresh, smart-casual approach is far from the ordinary, and caters well to every desire.

Kayaking, Cycling & Board Games
Kayaking, Cycling & Board Games
Kayaking on the lagoon is an amazing experience. We suggest taking the kayak through the Thesen Islands canals, stopping at one of the private beaches on the island and having a relaxed picnic before venturing back. Rowing through the canals is fairly easy for an active person.
It is also possible to row over the lagoon to the opposite side or even rowing to the train bridge but this would be for an intermediate rower or active person.
Do note that there is a surcharge for using the kayaks.
Cycling in our beautiful town is a lovely experience. Take the bicycles into town or to the waterfront for some shopping, strolling or snacking. Both bicycles have bicycle locks.
If you’re an experienced cycler you can venture further to the White bridge or even to The Heads.
There is nothing more fun than spending an evening with family or friends playing board games. We have a small selection for you to choose from such as Monopoly, Cards, Rumi Cup and Pick-up-Sticks.
Lounge Atrium & Service Bar

We offer you a selection of drinks from our service bar from fine wines to craft beers as well as some cocktails, cool drinks, coffee or tea. There is also a selection of sweet and savoury snacks. This area is also great for events, conferences and weddings.
