16 guests' feedbackWe really enjoyed our 2 nights at Elephant Hide. Room is nice and big and facilities are excellent.
Great location, view, staff and breakfast.
It was a very good experience. Very good location. Good service.
What a wonderful stay and so relaxing. John the onsite manager has such excellent customer service! Thanks John, your hospitality really made our stay magnificent! Overall the bird's eye view has great views and I really enjoyed the infinity pool at sunset. I would definitely stay here again with the best staff and service!
Beautiful place with very good services and very clean.
Amazing place with the best service, best views. Would recommend to anyone. Will drive that far again to stay there.
Lovely for a honeymoon or anniversary celebration.
Greeted and felt welcome by the staff, especially Fish. Amazing views and scenery. Quality of the lodge was top class! Efforts were made to ensure that the guests felt welcome. Lagoon Suite had the necessary equipment.
Fantastic view. Slept and stayed well.
From the moment we got there everything was perfect. The breakfast was delicious and is served in bed on request. The room was clean and Fish, the host, was friendly and extremely helpful. We can recommend it to everyone and will definitely stay there again in the future!
Worth every cent. Couldn't ask for better view and service.
What a lovely afternoon and evening. Cozy log fire in the main building, with a sherry for the cold days. The rooms are private, with beautiful decor. It would be ideal to stay more than one day as it is such a lovely place. The breakfast is carefully prepared and served, with good quality products. Thanks to Samuel who is an absolute find.
The place is really very beautiful, the view is enough to take your breath away and the people's service and friendliness is definitely something to write home about. Will definitely go back again and if anyone is planning a honeymoon I can say with absolute certainty: this is definitely a place to check out.
There is a nice view and the rooms really have all the amenities. The bathrooms with the Jacuzzi bath and double shower are fantastic. A few negative aspects are the fact that traffic can be heard all day because the lodge is right above the main road to Knysna. There was also a problem with hot water when we wanted to bath.
I would definitely recommend Elephant Hide or Knysna Guest Lodge to anyone. The service was excellent and they made it feel like your own home. The view from the rooms was amazing and it was very private. I would go there again and stay overnight.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating to us.
