My stay at the lodge was absolutely incredible. The rooms were comfortable and clean, providing a great space to relax. The highlight of my stay was definitely the elephant experience. Watching the elephants sleep and seeing their playful nature was truly amazing. The breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, and the staff were friendly and informative.

We had the most incredible experience at a lodge near Plettenberg Bay. The highlight was definitely getting to interact with the elephants, which was truly magical. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate, making the whole experience even more special. The breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect. The only downside was the long drive from Cape Town and the early closing time of the restaurant, but these were minor inconveniences compared to the overall amazing experience. We will definitely be recommending this lodge to everyone we know.

I had an incredible experience at the Knysna Elephant Park Lodge. The highlight of my stay was being able to interact with the elephants up close during the feeding sessions. It was truly magical and something I'll never forget.
One drawback was the limited breakfast options and the additional charge for changing to a latte. However, the friendly and helpful staff made up for any inconvenience.

The value for money at the lodge was excellent, with a lovely room that was clean, tastefully decorated, and had a pleasant outside balcony with a view over the park. The location was perfect, allowing us to witness the elephants' activities from the balcony and communal lounge. The staff were incredible, making our stay extraordinary and treating us like royalty.
Breakfast delights could be improved with more variety.

The rooms were beautifully decorated and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay. The friendliness of the staff made our experience extremely warm and special, as they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. the opportunity to feed and touch the elephants was a truly memorable experience, especially for my 78-year-old mother.
There were a few issues that marred our stay. the constant pitter-patter of something in the ceiling kept us awake throughout the night, despite reporting it to the staff.

The experience of sleeping above the Boma and seeing the elephants at night was truly special. The breakfast walk was a peaceful and enjoyable activity. Additionally, the discount for the Elephant Experience was a great perk.
There were a few drawbacks during our stay. The bathrooms were outdated and in need of an upgrade.
