Amazing position
Graham Patterson, South Africa
06 February 2010
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 mo ... more

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!!!

Real barefoot luxury

This was the most amazing accommodation. The room was beautiful with a jacuzzi bath above the bed and wonderful views. I must mention the breakfast (esp the pancakes) which were out of this world. 2 nights really wasn't enough! very convenient for exploring Knysna and some great little craft shops in the surrounding area. Lovely touches such as a bottle of champagne when we arrived.
