The Lofts Boutique Hotel, hotel in Knysna

Welcome to The Lofts Boutique Hotel, a family-owned hotel that promises to offer you the ultimate escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Situated on the edge of the picturesque Knysna...

We wanted a room with a view, and staying at the Lofts in Tower 1, we certainly got it. Private terrace, facing the lagoon where we could enjoy the sunset. The room was lovely and comfortable, decorated as beachy-chic. Lovely strong shower, just what you need after a dip in the lagoon. The breakfast (at Nest) was tasty, the bar had a cool vibe and there were plenty of restaurant options within walking distance. Lots of cute spaces within the hotel to chill out in if you can tear yourself away from the terrace and the hotel has kayaks too. Special mention of the concierge Dylan, who was super passionate about all the garden route had to offer and was so helpful with hints and tips on what to do within and around Knysna.

    We enjoyed a wonderful weekend away. The cottage was beautifully decorated, with everything that we needed. It was located on a wonderful estate with lots of fun activities for kids including canoeing, mini golf, a heated swimming pool, cycling and a games room. The cottage was conveniently located in Knysna with easy access to shops and tourist attractions. It really was the perfect family getaway and we will definitely visit again!

    From the start, we loved the Simola Hotel! It's a beautiful Hotel, the staff was so friendly and we were greeted with so much professionalism! The suite we stayed in was also amazing, spacious, with beautiful decor! Wish we could've stayed another few nights but we had places to be the next day. This is really a gem of a Hotel. Next time we are definitely bringing the kids along too as the whole resort is very family friendly. Just have to say again, the staff is fantastic!

    The kids club and daily entertainment was fantastic. We had no reason to leave the hotel. Philani, who heads up the entertainment was an absolute legend with the kids and has the entire family addicted to Bingo! Would highly recommend, esp for a family with kids.

    Large territory, the pool, location. Kids club was amazing, even for children who speak only basic English. The room was spacious and had even more amenities than we expected.

    The best stay for families with young kids. The food is fantastic, service amazing, the facilities well appointed. I had the most relaxing massage treatment at Bliss spa with Melissa and the cheery on top was the Kids Club edutainment programme led by Philani and Akhona made this our family holiday destination of choice. We even booked our stay for 2022 when we checked out!
