Spectacular & fun. Wow! What an amazing winter stay at the edge of the forest. We kept cosy and warm with the indoor fire and dry wood. Due to it being winter, it was only our dog that swam in the great dams. Brett was a great host and his garden is spectacular with incredible fruit, veggies and secret spots. We had a great rest. Thank you.

Very nice. Yes, I have, thank you. Don't know why I have to write if I didn't; I would have let you know. Friendly people and once again had a great stay.

Baie lekker. Ja, ek het dankie. Weet nie hoekom ek moet skryf as ek nie het nie; sou ek dit mos laat weet het. Vriendelike mense en het weereens lekker gebly.

Peaceful atmosphere with the most beautiful view. We had a wonderful stay. Nice and spacious, all the amenities we needed were there. Most beautiful view and surroundings. Was very helpful and friendly.

Rustige atmosfeer met die mooiste uitsig. Ons het heerlik gebly. Lekker ruim, al die geriewe wat ons nodig gehad het, was daar. Mooiste uitsig en omgewing. Was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Peace and quiet, beautiful scenery, beautiful garden, nice place to stay, pleasant host. The scenery is breathtaking. The swimming in the dam is wonderful. There are so many wonderful hiking trails and other activities. We were pleasantly surprised with what we found. Thank you very much.

Rus en vrede, natuurskoon, pragtige tuin, lekker blyplek, aangename gasheer. Die natuurskoon is asemrowend. Die swem in die dam is heerlik. Daar is so baie wonderlike staproetes en ander aktiwiteite. Ons was aangenaam verras met dit wat ons gekry het. Baie dankie.

Calm, breathe, relax, heavenly. Slept warm, showered deliciously and laid the treats in the shower and on our bed.

Rustig, asemhaal, ontspan, hemels. Warm geslaap, heerlik gestort en die bederfies gelê in die stort en op ons bed.

Serene, superb. Perfect in every respect: a cosy, comfortable cottage with everything you need and beautiful personal touches, fresh flowers on arrival! And the setting is spectacular.

Unbelievable. We did a 2-week tour of the Garden Route, and Elephant Rest Forest Cottage and Cabin is one of the highlights (accommodation-wise) of our trip.

Exceptional service and accommodation! Really enjoyed it! Our family of 5 had such a nice stay. No load shedding, if solar. Wi-Fi. The children had fun playing in the garden and even swam in the pond, even though it wasn't that warm. Children could ride their bikes, nice forest paths and beautiful nature! We also ordered pizzas from them on Sunday evening, they make it themselves. Was very tasty and they even have gluten free options too! I would recommend them anytime for a nice nature getaway holiday.

Uitsonderlike diens en verblyf! Het dit baie geniet! Ons gesin van 5 het só lekker gebly. Geen beurtkrag, als is solar. WiFi. Die kinders kon lekker speel in die tuin en het ook selfs in die dam geswem, al was dit nie so warm nie. Kinders kon met hul fietse ry, lekker bospaadjies en mooi natuur! Ons het ook Sondagaand pizza's by hul bestel, hul maak dit self. Was baie lekker en hul het selfs gluten-vrye opsies ook! Ek sal hul enige tyd aanbeveel vir 'n lekker natuur-wegbreek-vakansie.

Great place to stay! Beautiful accommodation in beautiful surroundings for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of Knysna and want to be close to nature. Thank you Brett and Adela for your hospitality!

Puik blyplek! Pragtige verblyf in mooi omgewing vir diegene wat die gedruis van Knysna wil vryspring en naby aan die natuur wil wees. Dankie Brett en Adela vir jul gasvryheid!

A wonderful place to rest away from life's pressures. This is a special place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Brett and Adela have created an ideal getaway spot. It's clear that a lot of love and hard work has gone into this. We really enjoyed the stay and were warmly received. We can highly recommend Elephant Rest.

Heerlike rusplek weg van die lewe se druk. Hierdie is 'n besondere plekkie, weg van die stadsgewoel. Brett en Adela het 'n ideale wegbreek plek geskep. Dis duidelik dat heelwat liefde en harde werk hier ingesit is. Ons het die verblyf baie geniet en was hartlik ontvang. Ons kan Elephant Rest ten sterkste aanbeveel.
