Rustig, asemhaal, ontspan, hemels.

Warm geslaap, heerlik gestort en die bederfies gelê in die stort en op ons bed.

Calm, breathe, relax, heavenly.

Slept warm, showered deliciously and laid the treats in the shower and on our 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.

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.

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.

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.

It is a special place. Not to be missed.

This is more than just a nice cottage. This is special with so much love and character put into the cottage and surrounding gardens. There are beautiful walkways in the garden with special little seating places hidden away. Little bits of art all over the place to enjoy and make one feel special. The walks in the forest are so enjoyable with the quietness and undisturbed natural surroundings. You have to visit this place to appreciate the beauty and effort put into it. It is really something else. We came away with only good thoughts. Please don't forget the hosts. Always willing to do anything you may need and very interesting explanations of the property.

Thank you Andrew, was great to be able to share our space with you both. I'm sure we will see you again in the future. Take care
