The Elephant House is an exclusive 9 bedroomed lodge situated near the Addo Elephant National Park in the fertile sun-drenched Sundays River Valley.

The wide verandas (filled with comfortable sofas) forming a series of courtyards are a defining feature, while the décor at Elephant House evokes colonial & African images and is furnished with the owners' private collection of antiques, Persian rugs and Africana art.

The 9 spacious bedrooms open onto courtyards & private verandas. The chef serves lovely light poolside lunches and after sundowners a memorable three course candlelit dinner is prepared with flair and personal attention.

Our luxury colonial rooms all have a lovely main bedroom with en-suite bathroom (bath & shower) and are set in lush established gardens and among beautiful verandas. Our stable cottages are situated across the road from the main house (only shower) and all 6 cottages are equipped with a minibar fridge and tea/coffee facilities.

Addo is situated in the beautiful Sundays River Valley, only 40 min from Port Elizabeth airport. The accessibility of this area coupled with its close proximity to the Garden Route and Cape Town makes the Addo Elephant Park and its surrounding areas an extremely desirable destination that is already very popular with international visitors.

The Addo Elephant National Park was proclaimed in 1931 and today this finely tuned ecosystem is home to over 400 elephants. This makes the Addo Park the most concentrated elephant reserve in Africa thus giving one a good chance of experiencing some of the best elephant viewing in the world. Apart from elephants, there are also lions, hyena, black rhino, buffalo and various antelope species.
