Dining:
The Lofts does not have restaurant facilities but issue a voucher for breakfast at Ile de Pain next door, where you get a beautiful true honest breakfast in relaxed sophisticated style. It is famous for serving delectable dishes combined with the freshest, local ingredients.

Think Mediterranean-inspired lunches, with ingredients such as balsamic caramelised onion and garlic chilli mayo.

Freshly-baked croissants, magnificent sourdough bread and pastries will tempt you, as will the unique, local cheeses, great espresso coffee, and the fresh fruit salad with mint and lemongrass syrup.

There are some excellent restaurants very close by like Zachary's at Pezula. A contemporary classic restaurant that has their own organic gardens and of course the bounty of sea products available in this area along the Garden Route.

Another gem of a restaurant in this neck of the woods is Firefly Eating House where hip mother-and-daughter team Dell and Sanchia Hadlow wow pilgrims with their unique offering of glorious spice-inspired food in an intoxicating setting.

A little cottage on the hillside is home to this teeny restaurant. Step through the fairylit gate into a world of Edith Piaf, a garden of twinkling lights and squashy sofas on the veranda. Pre-dinner cocktails are served on silver trays decorated with just-picked blooms and set the scene for a decadent evening of flavour exquisite presentation all round.



Health and Beauty Salon
Also next door is Le Spa Tranquill - Health and Beauty salon. Le Spa Tranquill is unique due to its professional approach and the beautiful setting right on the edge of the Knysna Lagoon.

With over 20 years experience in the beauty industry owner Elze de Buys combinates the tranquility of Thesen Islands and her specialized treatments to ensure that you feel completely relaxed & rejuvenated.
