The unit features a delightful braai area situated in front of the deck, overlooking a charming garden that's just waiting to be explored.

8 guests' feedbackSlept warm, showered deliciously and laid the treats in the shower and on our bed.
Perfect in every respect: a cosy, comfortable cottage with everything you need and beautiful personal touches, fresh flowers on arrival! And the setting is spectacular.
We did a 2-week tour of the Garden Route, and Elephant Rest Forest Cottage and Cabin is one of the highlights (accommodation-wise) of our trip.
Our family of 5 had such a nice stay. No load shedding, if solar. Wi-Fi. The children had fun playing in the garden and even swam in the pond, even though it wasn't that warm. Children could ride their bikes, nice forest paths and beautiful nature! We also ordered pizzas from them on Sunday evening, they make it themselves. Was very tasty and they even have gluten free options too! I would recommend them anytime for a nice nature getaway holiday.
Beautiful accommodation in beautiful surroundings for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Knysna and want to be close to nature. Thank you Brett and Adela for your hospitality!
This is a special place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Brett and Adela have created an ideal getaway spot. It's clear that a lot of love and hard work has gone into this. We really enjoyed the stay and were warmly received. We can highly recommend Elephant Rest.
This is more than just a nice cottage. This is special with so much love and character put into the cottage and surrounding gardens. There are beautiful walkways in the garden with special little seating places hidden away. Little bits of art all over the place to enjoy and make one feel special. The walks in the forest are so enjoyable with the quietness and undisturbed natural surroundings. You have to visit this place to appreciate the beauty and effort put into it. It is really something else. We came away with only good thoughts. Please don't forget the hosts. Always willing to do anything you may need and very interesting explanations of the property.
Beautiful view. Amazing people. Friendly. Upon our arrival we got home-baked muffins. It's worth the money. Will go back anytime.
