There was an Old Mill in Knysna which not only acted as a Timber Mill but also supplied Electricity via Steam Driven Generators .
Once the Municipality started Supplying Power via Regular Power Stations the Need disappeared and The Mill Closed Down.
Somebody had the Bright idea to Build on and turn this into a Hotel and leave the Machinery and Piping in there as Decor!
To the Left of the main Ingress!
Just before reaching the Reception Desk, You can look down at this!
Behind the above Picture, you can see this!
When you are sitting in one of the Lounge area's , this can be seen!
One of the Turbine Generator's.
More of the Same!
An Old Chain Block attached to a ceiling I-Beam To allow heavy items to be rapidly lifted and moved elsewhere!
All Photo's were taken by me on a Samsung Phone .

Amazing piece of history, just love it, is that a glass floor on "Behind the above Picture, you can see this!"
McLuhan said, antiques are another generation's junk - I thought the hotel was charming, and maybe that was why, lol

nice post friend..... & nice photo.... thanks for share.....
an incredibly great idea. The photos and the space are very private and beautiful
Repurposing this old machine building is a great idea. In no way did the chains or turbines distract from the hotel. It added a piece of history that won’t be soon forgotten. Yes more photos. 🐓🐓
