    Beautiful setting. We preferred the rooms in the main building, not the stable cottages. Very quiet and private. You can always find a spot to relax. Very peaceful.

    Wonderful breakfast selection, small buffet and then freshly cooked items also available. Very happy with the breakfast provisions and timings. The location is wonderful and tranquil with plenty of verandahs with comfortable seating to relax. I truly felt so relaxed. Our room was amazing, plenty of space and huge bathroom. Clive was wonderful and we met him a few times throughout our stay, he was attentive and genuinely interested in his guests. He also booked us a safari and dinner which went seamlessly. I would definitely come back.

    Elephant House is a tranquil gem set in lush gardens with a real charm and incredible staff. It could not have been more relaxing, we did not want to leave. We booked to base ourselves here for a trip to Addo elephant park which was a short drive away. In the game drive we had an unforgettable experience getting prime viewing spots of the herds of elephant as well as black rhino and hyena encounters. Our guide Alan was great, so friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely stay again if we’re in the area. The owner, Clive, could not have been more accommodating. We loved it here.

    If there was anything I would possibly change , it would be the breakfast service , in my opinion this could be improved a little.

    The property had the look and feel of a bygone era ! However we experienced not only the feeling of peace and tranquility within the properties surroundings but also a first class service from the fantastic staff . Great front of house management.

    I was a bit disappointed that the establishment no longer provides dinner as they did before. That said we tried two local restaurants nearby that were recommended to us and both were good.

    We’ve stayed at the Elephant house before so we knew it was well located for access to Addo Elephant Park. It was my birthday on the day we arrived and the staff surprised me with a delicious birthday cake and bottle of bubbles. We had a lovely large room - beautifully clean bedding and towels, large comfy bed. Great shower. Wi-Fi worked well and there was ample parking. Breakfast was delicious. The pool area is a lovely place to sit and relax in between safaris.

    My family and I stayed here for 2 nights. Elephant House is beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. Our chalet was perfect for the 4 of us and the staff kindly obliged without hesitation when we requested to move some furniture to make our stay a little more comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and it was well equipped for load-shedding. I would stay again without hesitation.

    The photos in booking do not do the place justice. A professional photographer is needed to capture the essence and beauty of this place.
