Elephant Hide is on the outskirts of Knysna, a popular coastal town in the heart of South Africa's Garden Route. A landmark of the town is the Knysna Lagoon and its renowned sandstone 'Heads', which stand sentinel at the mouth of the lagoon. The indigenous forests of the Garden Route cover the Outeniqua Mountain range around Knysna and were once home to large herds of elephant.
On top of the Welbedacht Cliff Top, lies the exquisite lodge of Elephant Hide. With a theme of simplistic and rustic beauty this piece of heaven will leave an everlasting footprint in your mind.
The four lagoon suites have magical views over the Knysna lagoon. All suites have double showers and private views ensuring exclusivity of your stay.
Magnificent elevated views over tree tops, the Knysna lagoon and onto the mountains beyond can be appreciated from a rim-flow pool, dining deck and huge oval spa baths of the private suites at Elephant Hide.
Relax by the crackling fire place in the main lodge and enjoy some good reading in the library and lounge area or simply laze about at the pool.
Timber and stone used in the construction of Elephant Hide provide warmth and atmosphere. The furniture is plush and inviting. Under floor heating and air conditioning allow optimum temperature control in the suites.
Food is one of the many focuses of Elephant Hide and luscious meals are served in the cushy dining room, or on the deck outside.
There is much to do in and around Knysna and as long as it involves champagne and oysters you're guaranteed a splendid time!
Spend the day at the vibrant waterfront complex, packed with restaurants and boutiques; go for a boat cruise on the Knysna lagoon; laze on one of the Garden Route's attractive beaches; or venture into the forests on hiking trails.
Let the bustle of the town and quiet avenues call your name, let Elephant Hide show you how!
