Elephant House offers a choice of comfortable stays between the Main House and six Stable Cottages. The Main House consists of eight en-suite rooms, two of which serve as family units with private verandahs. Stable Cottages provide country-style bedrooms, complete with outdoor dining spaces and shared access to a swimming pool.

Dining

Complimentary traditional farm breakfasts are provided daily, featuring locally sourced ingredients from the Sundays River Valley. Guests enjoy light lunches served on the terrace or poolside, crafted with fresh, sustainable produce. For evening meals, guests may order cheese and cold meat platters or utilize the full cooking facilities available in Stable Cottages.

Situated just 8 km from the main gate of Addo Elephant National Park, Elephant House serves as an ideal base for wildlife enthusiasts. The lodge is less than an hour's drive from Port Elizabeth, making it easily accessible for visitors. Scenic surroundings include expansive citrus groves and opportunities for diverse outdoor activities.
