At The Loerie

At The Loerie is a historic guesthouse at 39 Fitchat Street in central Knysna, offering characterful accommodation within the town’s CBD. The property occupies an old town building with a lived-in, individual feel rather than a standardised hotel style. Its location places restaurants, shops, supermarkets and the Waterfront within a short walk, making it practical for guests who want access to central Knysna without relying on a car for every outing.

The guesthouse has nine individually designed bedrooms, giving each room its own decorative character. Seven bedrooms are en suite, while two economy rooms share a bathroom. The accommodation is suited to travellers who appreciate a smaller guesthouse setting, historic atmosphere and communal facilities alongside private sleeping spaces.

Shared areas include a comfortable lounge with a television, a tea and coffee station, and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen gives guests the option of preparing meals at the property, which complements Knysna’s selection of restaurants and food-focused venues. The arrangement also offers flexibility for longer stays or for guests who prefer a simple breakfast or home-prepared meal.

Two large verandas provide additional communal space with seating and outdoor sofas. The yard is also shared with an emporium selling second-hand and restored furniture, creating an active, distinctive setting during the shop’s weekday opening hours. This combination of accommodation, shared spaces and nearby local activity gives At The Loerie a relaxed guesthouse character.

For travellers exploring the Garden Route, At The Loerie offers a central base for spending time in Knysna, with the town’s dining, shopping and waterfront areas close by. The property’s appeal lies in its historic setting, individually styled rooms and practical self-catering facilities, with a choice between en-suite accommodation and economy rooms with a shared bathroom.
