We stayed at The Lofts in April 2012 so the weather wasn't really warm enough to enjoy the deck or pool. However, it not only had spectacular views across the Lagoon, but the building and rooms had been beautifully restored and renovated. We were in one of the 2 bedroom apartments which came equipped with 2 double bedrooms and 2... More

Our group of 4 arrived after a long day of travel and after a quick call found our keys and luxurious rooms waiting for us. Luckily we had wine, cheese, crackers with us and were able to enjoy it on our spacious balconies. The in-room mini fridge, plates, glasses, helped! The next morning we met The Lofts owner Rhoda. She... More

The hotel was situated in a quiet place and was very relaxed and relaxing. We stayed in a two-bedroom loft, and... More

A beautifully designed and furnished apartment which was a lovely change from the usual hotel environment. Thesen Island itself had some great eating options within a 2 min walk and to venture over the bridge to the waterfront was only a 5-10 min walk. Very friendly and helpful staff who made us feel very welcome. Great stay! More

We spent five nights in a luxury 2 bedroom suite at the Boatshed. What a wonderful idea to use the building as all rooms are different. We were pretty much the only guests early September and enjoyed the little home far away from home. We only had one night bad luck when the storm was so bad that the bedroom... More
