Elephant Hide of Knysna Guest Lodge

It’s a nice place to stay. It is a way from where there are restaurants etc. there is an in house restaurant. The food needed to be ordered by 4pm, you also had to book in for dinner so the food was ready. Food was ok. The facilities were good. We stayed during a period of renovations which we found out about when we checked in. We were sent a complimentary bottle of wine on a day that was particularly noisy. I think there were more tradesmen renovating than guests. We did notice previous guests had concerns and made recommendations and they had been addressed. The phone numbers in the room didn’t connect when we called. A small jug of water was easily finished, could do with bigger jugs. We only met one staff member, Fish, who was so obliging and honestly did his best. He seemed to have a great deal to do and guests seemed to make him nervous.

Three amazing nights at the Elephant Hide. Excellent accommodation and service of the highest level. Ryan and Natalie were wonderful hosts and always on hand with information on the local area and things to do. Fabulous food available, the breakfast will keep you going most of the day. Highly recommended.

Great place with super room and fabulous views over the inlet. Johnn the manager was super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food and dining room were special, roaring open fire made for a cozy at home feel. The single criticism would be that the bed was rock hard, I know some people like this but not us. Otherwise is a 10/10
