Elephant Hide of Knysna Guest Lodge

Our stay at the lodge was truly special. The room was beautiful, private, and came with a jacuzzi — a perfect spot to relax. Excellent value for money, especially with the brilliant breakfast included. The hospitality really stood out. The owner, Marc, and his wife personally introduced themselves and took time to chat with us, offering great recommendations for our next destination. It was such a thoughtful touch. A special mention to the staff — Nikita, Fish, and John — who were genuinely caring, humble, and clearly love what they do. Their warmth and attentiveness made us feel incredibly well looked after. A memorable stay we’d highly recommend!

The staff were amazing and we're very helpful when needed. The property views were beautiful, and it felt like an intimate setting as opposed to a hotel. We loved the location.

Elephant Hide offers beautiful and spotlessly clean accommodations with a stunning bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room had air conditioning so it was nice and warm.

It is beautiful, surrounded by nature. The cherry on top was the spa bath tub with the bath salts.

Love the bayview. Either Soak in bathtub or taking shower, there is a backdrop of the scenic bayview. The manager Jon is very very accommodating, polite and friendly.
