Loved our stay at Elalini! Location is a little out of Knysna (5min drive) but in such a lovely quiet place we couldn’t complain. Alex was super lovely, our room was comfy, breakfast was great. Shower wasn’t amazing (hot water was not consistent. But other than that, wish we couldn’t stayed for longer

Elalini is cute and beautiful, quiet and friendly. The heater in the lounge was potent so I was cosy even on my own on a freezing night. The bed was big and comfortable and I had a great night's sleep. Definitely on my list of places to return to!

I loved the breakfast, the dogs and the atmosphere. I didn’t like the dirty and intermittent shower. The room was too small for 5 people, I really didn’t know where to put my backpack
