I have been a hotelier for 16 years and I run a large Hotel for an International Chain Brand, to go to this guest house was an absolute pleasure, we could not have been better fed and pampered. Our rooms was fantastic, overlooking the lagoon, it was spotless and had everything we needed. Breakfast was great, nice to have a... more

Stayed for two nights. Rooms are lovely with views over the lagoon. Huge windows give a real sense of space. Bathroom was lovely with a great bath for sharing and supping a cold beer whilst looking out onto the lagoon. Nice quiet spot away from the bustle. Breakfast was very good with a whole range of hot and cold options.... more

We have just returned from SA and spent 2 superb nights at the Elephant Hide. The rooms are amazing with superb views over the lagoon. Each lodge is totally separate and gives an enormous sense of space. Breakfast on the terrace was excellent as was the service at all times. The staff were all delightful and Fish was outstanding, what... more

We were recommended to stay at the Elephant Hide Lodge by a friend in Cape Town and we were so delighted with our stay there that I wanted to ensure others got to know about this little gem. The lodge is made up of 7 detached lodges set above Knysna with super views of the lagoon, each lodge is spacious... more

The main lounge is charming. In front is an infinity pool which overlooks the lagoon. Wifi is free in this area. There was a small... more

They don't do dinner, but 34 degrees south in Knysna would be my tip for eating out. Breakfast is refreshingly different from the standard fry-up or rabbit-food (Louise is a... more

Elephant Hide, Kynsna is a wonderful guest house offering 6 individual wooden lodges overlooking the lagoon. Beautifully in keeping with its surroundings, the lodges are delightfully luxurious. From the loo with a view, a jacuzzi bath and wet room to the enormous bed, verandah and mini-bar. The breakfasts were fantastic and the hospitality of all the staff was wonderful. Just... more

Had 5 nights at Elephant Hide, but only managed to use the pool once due to poor weather. When it rains here it pours. No restaurant, but excellent food in Knysna itself or just down the road. Elephant hide is about 2 miles from the centre. We had a lovely room ( room 1) which had a beautiful bathroom. The... more

This is a wonderful lodge to stay in and highly recommended. The main lodge and each individual lodge is beautifully constructed and decorated with natural timber and fibres. The attention to detail is excellent, especially in the wonderful bathrooms with lovely bath salts and bubbles to use in the spa bath whilst enjoying a cold drink from the mini bar... more
