Beautiful stay
The facility is beautiful, in a renovated historic building. Our apartment was spacious and well decorated. We enjoyed sunset overlookimg the bay in tne deck. The staff was very helpful, especially the concierge Dylan. He was so welcoming, friendly interesting and helpful. He suggested some fabulous hikes one in Wildnerness and one in Plettenburg Bay.

Amazing Boutique Hotel with wonderful staff
This place gets 10 stars from us. The room was our best yet, both restaurants were amazing, the staff was at our service for anything we needed. We made use of both restaurants, our balcony, the deck and the kayaks. We would definitely recommend the Lofts!!
