The lodge provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a dishwasher, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. Some units feature a balcony and/or a patio with river views. We had a wonderful stay in Eco Cabin 1. The views of the animals across the lake and behind the cabin are spectacular. The cabin itself is very comfortable, a bit cold in August but fortunately the fireplace heats it up quickly and there are extra warm blankets for the beds. The bad and hot tub were a nice extra luxury. We were with our 3 year old daughter and the cabin was also nice for her and even had some kids plates, cups and cutlery. It was a nice way for her to see the animals too.

Each room and chalet at Garden Route Game Lodge offers either views of the mountains or the valley. They are elegantly decorated with thatched roofs and wooden furniture. All of them have TVs with digital channels and a safe. We have been on multiple safaris throughout 12 years in both Eastern and Western Cape. This one was by far the best value. We have never seen a Cheetah that close. Our ranger Tim was exceptional and the restaurant had the best food. The villa was gorgeous and clean. The swimming pools as well. We will be back!

With Goose Valley Golf Club reachable in 14 km, Knysna Elephant Park Lodge provides accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are available at the lodge free of charge. Amazing experience from start to finish! Geoff looked after us. Being so close to the elephants at night was amazing in the boma lounge. The rooms were super comfortable, and the morning walk with the elephants was on another level!
