Our take
The Lofts Boutique Hotel is what I would choose for a tranquil, family-run stay on Thesen Island. The choice of rooms and apartments, with self-catering options, gives families flexibility, the free kayaks open up the estuary, and the pool and spa and wellness facilities fill the slower hours. Shopping and dining are close by. It suits honeymooners and golfers too. If you want a large resort with a full entertainment programme, the intimate scale may feel small.
- Make sure to use the free kayak access to explore the Knysna Estuary at your own pace.
- Take advantage of Thesen Island's dining and shopping options, all within easy walking distance.
- Consider a sunset cruise from the island for a different perspective of the beautiful surroundings.
Why we love it
