The location of the property is perfect. It is situated at a place with gives you a picturesque view of the town of Knysna and it's surrounding areas. Easy accessibility. We were greeted very warmly by the courteous staff. The place is amazing. The service is excellent. The breakfast has a good spread and they have really good options (alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic) for drinks. The people running St. James of Knysna are particularly kindhearted and warm. I would definitely live there again if I visit Knysna again.

Where do we start? The fact we booked a return visit within the same 3 week holiday says it all. From the moment we got there the excellent team at The Lofts Boutique couldn’t do enough for us. From activity recommendations, restaurant reservations or just helpful advice on our holiday as a whole, Allan and the team did it all. The hotel and rooms are just beautiful and the team have thought of all the finishing touches to make your stay effortless. The main and most important thing to us is that the team actually cared and you could tell from the excellent standards they had in every aspect of their service. It has a great balance of feeling like a luxury escape and a home away from home. We’re already planning our return visit and cannot wait to get back. Thank you to The Lofts Boutique. You really did make our holiday! If you’re contemplating this hotel, don’t. Just book it!

We loved the view over Knysna from the hotel! Beautiful setting, nice big property with pool area. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful! We just loved them! We moved rooms and our second room was gorgeous - spacious and airy with a large comfy bed and sitting area. The bathroom is bright with a huge tub. The restaurant staff are friendly and the food is very good. I treated myself to a pampering mani/pedi. Regina, the esthetician was wonderful! She really took her time and pampered me with a wonderful massage too! Enrico , the manager was available and helpful. Everything was just great and we thoroughly enjoyed our four nights here!

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants. Knysna is a must see and visit destination on the Garden Route.

Stunning western view of the Knysna lagoon from the bedroom. Short walk to a view of the Knysna heads. The host, Aneryne, was wonderfully hospitable. She greeted us at the door, gave us loads of great walking and restaurant recommendations. She attentive, proactive and warm. The home was beautifully decorated. We especially enjoyed the local coffee table books. The space was easy going, comfortable and freeing. We felt completely at ease allowing our well trained dog to roam the area. 11/10.
