NATURE MEETS NURTURE
Beyond the citrus groves in the sun-drenched, evocativally named Sundays River Valley, lies Elephant House. A proudly South African, family-run lodge filled with broad smiles, home-cooked meals and good old fashioned hospitality.
This is the place to while away hot summer afternoons poolside, to fall asleep reading on a deep verandah, to celebrate with sundowner cocktails after a day exploring the magnificent Addo Elephant National Park, and to nestle up with family and friends on a winter’s night in front of a roaring fire.
Highlights
The Main House
Our much-loved farmhouse features 8 en-suite bedrooms and wide verandahs filled with antiques and local art.
