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.

Great stay in Graskop
I really enjoyed my stay. The host was very welcoming and gave me good recommendations on restaurants, activities and routes. Although they are busy with renovations the hospitality made up for it.

Graskop is an excellent base if you are landing at Nelspruit and starting something in Kruger NP the next day. We found the host at this place very pleasant and nice to talk to and the place was fine.

Nico is an amazing host, and provides excellent information regarding attractions in the area. The room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The parking area is secure, and the whole guest house feels safe. Free wifi is available. I would recommend this guest house to anyone looking for a place to stay in Graskop.
