The Lofts Boutique Hotel

$$$ | Long St., Thesen Island, Knysna, 6571, South Africa

These attractive apartments right on the edge of Kynsna Lagoon are converted from an old boatshed and have retained the original timber framework. In the two-bedroom, self-catering apartments, the main bedroom's wooden beams and triple-volume ceilings call to mind the cabin of an old sailing ship. Upstairs, an open-loft bedroom overlooks the spacious lounge/dining/kitchen area. Soft blue and green furnishings echo the nautical theme. There are outside nooks and small spaces to sit and enjoy the great views.  The one-bedroomed apartments are smaller but also funky and functional with small viewing decks. 

Pros

  • Quirky, clever design
  • Perfect for couples or a small family (not toddlers)
  • Great location on Thesen Island

Cons

  • Lots of steps
  • No shower in downstairs bathroom in self-catering apartment
  • No beach
