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!!!

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.

Description
Situated on top of the Welbedacht Cliff Tops 3km from Knysna Town, the Lodge overlooks the Knysna Lagoon and the Outeniqua mountains. The theme of the Lodge is one based on natural beauty with stone and wood architecture combining to give that comfortable earthy feel. The lodge is a family run business that prides itself on personal service and ensuring an unforgettable experience for all. Champagne and oysters, sunset cruises and sundowners on the deck around the swimming pool are a few of the experiences to look forward to.
