At The Loerie
At the Loerie was built in 1883, one of the first buildings of purpose to be built in a newly developing town. Knysna has since grown and developed and this unique guesthouse has too... Many of the original features of the house tell the story of the many lives this house has lived. It is a charming and characterful home, definitally quirky! Each room is individual, and each bathroom configuration is unique. We offer a common lounge area with TV. Our tea and coffee station is situated in this communal area where guests can help themselves to abundant tea and coffee, we keep the fruit bowl stocked and the cookie jar full. There is a shared kitchen where our guests can prepare a meal - although, Knysna is on the “foodie map” and when eating out, you are spoilt for choice. Two large veranda's offer extra seating and outdoor sofas.
Area Info
At the loerie is in the Heart of Knysna's CBD and we are walking distance from a cool little bar called the Bloo Bistro and a handful of restaurants.
Knysna is a colourful town and you will experience all aspect of "life in South Africa" as you wonder the streets.
There are some beautiful buildings in our neighbourhood so a daytime wonder is filled with things to see. Colours and contrasts.
We have the Woodmill Lane Shopping Centre (an old wood factory) close by, the Knysna Mall in the opposite direction, both have good supermarkets and some interesting shops.
The African Market is on route to Woodmill Lane, it is a great place to pick up curios and hand made bits and bobs that make for great gifts.
The Olive Tree is a restaurant i highly recommend and is a stones throw from At the Loerie - the menu is cooked fresh each evening and changes as ingredients come in and out of season.
Papillon At the Heritage is a great breakfast or lunch choice, and under 100m from our front door, Dinner is served Thursday through to Saturday night. Wouter and Peter put a little love into every plate served!
The Knysna waterfront is a 15 min daytime walk (that’s if you don't find something of interest on route) and Thesen Island, which i like to call "Foodie Island" (the restaurants and the views are equally as satisfying) is just beyond and over a bridge.
The natural world in and around Knysna is spectacular and the options are endless -
The extended neighbourhood of Knysna is magnificent, and no trip would be complete without a trip to the Knysna Heads - and may I add, a meal at The East Head Cafe, trust me, you won't be sorry!
