Guest Impressions

The Elephant House, Addo

"From the moment we arrived, gracious hospitality and professional service overwhelmed our stay - and definitely the beautiful room and environment!! The dinner and breakfast cuisine were of the highest standard and presentation, with again well-trained and elegant staff - thank you for the champagne treat specially for our 39th anniversary!! Paterson''s cultural group provided warmth and energy with their dancing and interesting comments / historical references - this was quite a unique surprise!! It was a ''night out'' to remember, and we will definitely consider elephant house again as an option for future visits, and will definitely market your place to our friends / connections."

"Our stay at the Elephant House was fantastic. The staff there, particularly Christelle, were very helpful. Unexpectedly, they serve dinner every night and the food was fanastic. Christelle also helped us organise a jeep safari on a nearby private game reserve, which was lots of fun. All in all, a wonderful place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone."
