Great place!
This place is perfect for a stop on the Panoramic Road. Very calm and clean. As for the direction, we had some difficulties to find the adress, as there are 2 places with the same street number, but we finally found it. The owner was not here but the intendant was very nice and welcoming

We had one small glitch. I reserved the room the night before and the lady manager didn't get the message that we were coming. Since she stayed in the property, we got in with her return. She was exceptional friendly. The location was perfect for our trip to the Panoramic Route. The beautiful garden is as other described. The bed faces the garden and we felt so relaxed once we got in. No TV. Wifi is slow. But you can't beat the cost, convenience of location, safety and wonderful staff. She got up at 5 am to let us out of the gate. It was over 4 hours and we were back in Johannesburg and made our flight out at noon.

Good place to stay .
Good affordable place to stay. The internet needs improvement. A good internet access is critical to travellers. The net is not available from the rooms which should be a rather easy fix nowadays. Also the owner seemed concerned about leaving it on continuously as it was mostly off.

This is our third time staying at Elephant's Nest. We hope to stay there many more times. Nico truly went above and beyond, this time, as we arrived in need of a new tire. We highly recommend Elephant's Nest to all.
