We stayed at Elephant Hide for only one night on our honeymoon and we regret we couldn't stay for more. The position of the lodge is excellent with a marvellous deck on the lagoon. What an amazing sunset! We enjoyed every single minute of our staying, and every single faciilty of the wonderful chalet. Spectacular welcome with flowers petals on... More

We stayed at the elephant Hide Lodge for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it. I can't praise it enough. It consists of the main lodge where breakfast is served and then little cabins surrounding it where guests are accomodated. We had a lagoon view room and what a view it was. The room was spotless, the ensuite with the... More

First time travelling the Garden Route and by far the best accommodation in Knysna. Fantastic Views, Cheerful Staff (thanks Fish), and the most amazing breakfast Ive ever had the pleasure of dining at a Guest House. Highly Recommend in not just South Afrika, but Worldwide. More

For a stay of only 2 nights, Elephant Hide completely blew us away. They arranged dinners lunches, spa days as well as the champers, flowers and rose petals on the bed. No request was too much and the hospitality was kind and always prompt. More

From the moment we arrived It was a marvellous experience. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and nice. The rooms and accommodation was certainly the best we stayed in during our travels in South Africa and the breakfasts were probably the best as well! The one evening meal we had was gorgeous and the views from the hotel are... More

We stayed for three nights at the elephant lodge and had a wonderful time. The rooms are well presented, furnished well and comfy. The shower and bathroom is a real plus point – the views from the shower/ bath over the river/ lake/ valley are beautiful, especially of an evening when the sky breaks into awesome colours. I tend to... More

My partner and I had three nights here and can't recommend it highly enough. Stunning views over the lagoon, excellent 'boutique' rooms with everything you'd need, great breakfasts and lovely staff (Fish was extremely helpful and courteous). Lots to do in and around Knysna and some great restaurants (would especially recommend the Phantom Forest) down by the water. More
