"Can't recommend highly enough"

10.0

A beautiful tranquil spot. Charming staff, luxurious room, fantastic views, great pool, bar and restaurant, small but perfect for the size of the accommodation.

Have to work hard to find fault, they had run out of one of the dinner choices but that's just being petty

"Clean, Comfortable, and Great For a Stay Along Garden Route"

9.0

Everything at Knysna Elephant Hide was great—smooth check-in, clear communication, and a comfortable stay. We had a great time, and it was a lovely stop along the Garden Route. The view from the terrace is beautiful!

It would be great to have a few Vegetarian/non-Egg options for Breakfast.
