A family owned and run hotel situated on the edge of the picturesque Knysna Lagoon.
Located on Theusen Island, a world-renowned destination with an abundance of shopping and dining options. Whether you’re interested in kayaking, accessed from the hotel, taking a sunset cruise, or exploring the surrounding natural beauty, there is something for everyone.
***
From 1870, Theusen Island was a timber and shipping business. When the island was re- developed, the architects kept as many maritime features as possible: its entire existing timber framework has been retained and all the timber cladding has been re-used! Inside the The Lofts there are gang planks suspended by hoists and exposed beams in some rooms give great character.
We pride ourselves on offering the best sunsets in town, and the friendliest hospitality to our guests. Our team of passionate, dedicated staff are committed to making your stay with us as comfortable and memorable as possible. There is a small spa to indulge after sightseeing and a sauna. There is a fun Hide Out room for kids. Enjoy ‘Sunset Sessions’ on Saturdays during summer, with a live DJ playing house music on the deck, providing the perfect backdrop for you to enjoy stunning sunset views over the Lagoon.
The hotel has kayaks and bicycles so that you can explore.

The Nest Food Bar, with unique decor and vibey atmosphere, serves delicious brunch, dinner and cocktails. There is some wheelchair access availability in the hotel.
We look forward to welcoming you to our unique, quirky hotel and providing an unforgettable experience in Knysna.
