Elephant House

We absolutely loved our stay here. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. It was the perfect balance of feeling at home while enjoying a tranquil escape. Clive and his team looked after us so thoughtfully - including the three gorgeous dogs. Our morning game drive with Emmanuel was an incredible experience. The location is ideal, just outside the park, making it both peaceful and perfectly placed.

Beautiful guesthouse! We stayed in 2 different rooms because we booked an extra night. Both rooms were so beautiful and clean. Staff is exceptional! So friendly and accomodating. They do delicious breakfast, lunch, cheese and charcuterie platters and help with dining reservations. A real hidden gem. Just 10min from Addo Elephant Park.

Wow, this place was stunning. Beautiful attention to detail, with a nod to history and traditional African architecture. Lovely garden setting. Lovely breakfast, and nice terraces and public areas to hang out for a drink at the end of a day chasing after elephants. Close to Addo park, but a place you’d want to linger at in itself.

Absolutely incredible stay. Can’t recommend this place enough. Everything is immaculately clean and everyone is so friendly. We were treated like royalty from the word go until our very last day. If I could give more stars, I would!

We had the honour and pleasure to spend one night in elegant, beautiful and friendly Elephant House in Addo during our stay in Cape Town for my wife‘s special birthday. It was my Birthday surprise present and it was a full success! Everybody was pleased by the overwhelming hospitality and the dedication of the owners and the staff, the clean and comfortable rooms and the campfire next to our house. The breakfast was great, too.|Dinner was booked for us next door and was delicious, too! Thank you for all and we will be back FOR SURE!!!

The Elephant House setting is beautiful with luscious plants and flowers, a tranquil pool and open air verandas and seating areas. Our upstairs room overlooked a lovely green field and had a trellis of gorgeous flowers to greet us. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom well appointed with a nice big shower. The staff was very courteous, polite and helpful. Breakfast was very nice and dinner arranged by the staff at Molo Lolo just down the road was outstanding (we went twice!). Highly recommend elephant house and hope to return!!

Such a beautiful property- this is truly a hidden gem. Filled with antiques, and spacious living areas and rooms transporting you into eras of the past. Staff are so friendly. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. Spotlessly clean. Breakfast is world class. Owners are hands on. Highly recommended!

A place not be missed! Beautiful architecture, large bedrooms, a lot of open living rooms, 2 swimming pools,… The place exudes luxury and calm while managing to feel very homy, also thanks to the lovely owner and staff. Clive made sure we had the most wonderful stay and went the extra mile to accommodate us (booking restaurants and safaris). The location is great to go to Addo Elephant Park for a self-drive tour. We also booked the tour organized by Elephant House and had a great time. We will recommend this place to all our friends going to South Africa.
