When accomodation becomes part of the memory of a stay,it's worth it. The house was fascinating, and warm, with small touches that make all the difference. I would recommend anyone who's looking for something a bit different, to stay here.

Elephant In The Room (and everywhere else)

Loved everything about staying in this beautiful and relaxing place. They say an elephant never forgets, but I’m sure people who stay at the elephant house never forget either.
