We stayed at the EHK 3 years ago for 1 night and this time when returning, we made sure we had 4 nights, as we enjoyed it so much before. Each lodge sits on the top of a cliff overlooking Knysna Lagoon, the bedrooms, bathroom and showers have the most amazing views - and you could sit there for hours... more

Elephant Hide is a really fantastic place to stay, great views over the Knysna Lagoon. Private rooms, and most friendly staff. The Utermark family made us feel very welcome, with lots of ideas of what to do and where to go. We cant wait to get back there! PS. great breakfasts! Would be a lovely place for honeymooners too... more

Wonderful location and a warm friendly welcome by the fabulous staff. The Elephant Hide Guest Lodge is most attractive, situated high on the eastern hills overlooking the inner reaches of the Knysna lagoon and over the forest to the Outeniqua Mountains beyond. The village of Belvedere is across the water and there is nothing to spoil the view or the... more

I have been a hotelier for 16 years and I run a large Hotel for an International Chain Brand, to go to this guest house was an absolute pleasure, we could not have been better fed and pampered. Our rooms was fantastic, overlooking the lagoon, it was spotless and had everything we needed. Breakfast was great, nice to have a... more

Stayed for two nights. Rooms are lovely with views over the lagoon. Huge windows give a real sense of space. Bathroom was lovely with a great bath for sharing and supping a cold beer whilst looking out onto the lagoon. Nice quiet spot away from the bustle. Breakfast was very good with a whole range of hot and cold options.... more

The staff were all delightful and Fish was outstanding, what... more

We were recommended to stay at the Elephant Hide Lodge by a friend in Cape Town and we were so delighted with our stay there that I wanted to ensure others got to know about this little gem. The lodge is made up of 7 detached lodges set above Knysna with super views of the lagoon, each lodge is spacious... more

We stayed at this lodge for just two days but wish we could have stayed longer. It sits atop a hill overlooking a lagoon just a couple of minutes drive to the center of Knysna. The main lounge is charming. In front is an infinity pool which overlooks the lagoon. Wifi is free in this area. There was a small... more

Lovely individual lodges with wetrooms, twin-head showers, spa baths, aircon and great views over Knysna lagoon. Very good value for money, and service from Craig, Louise et al was excellent. They don't do dinner, but 34 degrees south in Knysna would be my tip for eating out. Breakfast is refreshingly different from the standard fry-up or rabbit-food (Louise is a... more
