Super clean and beautifull rooms with a nice view of the garden. The view from the outdoor swimming pool is amazing but unfortunetely it was too cold to swim outside. They do have an indoor heated swimming pool as well so that is very nice. The african aromatic massage was really relaxing and good. The breakfast was very good as well as lunch and dinner.

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!

Crown on the Heads is very aptly named. The location is 5 Star Plus. As we were shown in to the guest house and out on to the pool terrace, we were faced with the most amazing view of The Heads. This breath taking view continued on in our suite, which had wall to wall, floor to ceiling patio windows. Luxurious bedroom, bathroom with a stand alone bath facing the view and a shower and toilet at the back. we also a had an enormous cinema room. Dora is a wonderfully warm host and made us feel at home. Breakfast was excellent

    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.

    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.

    I entered both of the cycle races but the whole experience was wonderful - the views were awesome; people were friendly, and the facilities very good. Restaurants in the area were top of the range. Even joyed the rugby on the tv's at a local pub & grill at Buffelsbaai.

    Everything! The staff were amazing, greeting us and showing us around, service was also fantastic. We got a nice gift as we were on honeymoon of champagne and chocolate. Zuré gave us some great recommendations for food and activities in the town. The room had the most amazing views of the Knysna heads, the sea front as well as the whole Knysna lagoon which was mind blowing as there’s pretty much 270 degrees of views. Will definitely be coming back to stay here as we both loved it!

    The view out of our Tower room was great. to the left right and centre we had views of the lagoon and all the activity going on. Just watching the tide go in and out with the fishing, boats and children playing was perfect. Lovely spacious room, very comfortable and luxurious. Lovely restaurant where we had some of the best meals of the holiday. We used the hotels bikes to explore the area and could have used their canoes if we had had time.

    The room had everything you need for self catering. The place was situated just across from the Knysna mall. The waterfront and many restaurants were near the Inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed and bathroom were very pleasant. Your car is safe in the parking area. I would definitely go there again.
