Reviews for Elephant Hide of Knysna Guest Lodge
"no Title"
Absolutely amazing wonderful experience... Top class
"no Title"
Very beautiful place and great service, one of the better 4 star venues, the bed was a bit hard tho.

We stayed here for 5 days and weren't disappointed. The weather was pretty bad the first 2 days (there's nothing to do when poor weather hits other than eat and drink). There was a power cut in the town one evening and everything shut down. Once the good weather came out you can see why this place is where it is. Stunning views from our lagoon lodges.The staff were utterly lovely and helpful. The breakfast menu options were plentiful and delicious. I celebrated a birthday here and the staff made a cake. Everyone was so lovely. A definite stop when visiting Knysna.I wish we had been there when in full summer as I can imagine it is even more beautiful.

Beautiful and secluded setting. Loved our lodge jacuzzi overlooking the lagoon. Good breakfast.
"Amazing position"
An amazing view is not enough for layback service - could try harder A lovely guest house in amazing position with excellent views. However your welcome note says you will be pampered beyond your wildest dreams. While porter / waiter "Fish" did try to help us his service was a hit and miss and lacking in places.You are a drive out of Knysna and while menus are available a helping suggestion from the Host Ryan would not have gone a miss. We did in fact not meet them till our last morning just as we were leaving. Maybe as we were 2 guys travelling together they thought we could fend for ourselves - but not what I expect from this sort of guest lodge charging these sorts of high prices. We loved Knysna but would stay at an alternative lodge where we were made to feel more welcome.
"Fantastic"
My wife and I had the most amazing honeymoon and we have the wonderful people and accommodation at Elephant Hide to thank. The setting and views were unbelievable and the breakfasts were superb. We will definitely go back for another romantic get away. Thank you!!!
