At The Loerie is a historic guesthouse located in the heart of Knysna's CBD, originally constructed in 1883 as one of the town's first purposefully built structures. The property has evolved alongside the town's development while maintaining its unique character and charm.
The guesthouse features nine bedrooms, with seven offering en-suite facilities and two economy rooms sharing a bathroom. Each room is individually designed and features amenities including complementary toiletries, hairdryers, safes, and Wi-Fi access. The rooms showcase exposed copper plumbing and well-worn doors and windows that speak to the building's rich history.
Guests can enjoy access to several communal spaces, including a comfortable lounge area with TV and a fully equipped shared kitchen. A tea and coffee station is available in the communal area, complete with complimentary refreshments and cookies. Two large verandas provide additional seating areas with outdoor sofas. The property shares its grounds with an emporium of second-hand and restored furniture, adding a unique element of activity during weekdays.
The establishment's central location offers easy walking access to restaurants, The Waterfront, and various shops and supermarkets. Despite its central position, the guesthouse maintains a peaceful atmosphere. The property is particularly suitable for group bookings during festivals and events, as well as business travelers seeking convenient access to local amenities. Secure off-street parking is provided, and the Knysna Library is located directly across the road.
