Mason Elephant Lodge

Always an amazing experience at this hotel. Spacious rooms, extremely helpful staff. Great food. And of course the elephant experiences. The hotel had to react to the government disallowing elephant rides, and they added several new experiences. A few things such as the light switches, AC control etc. are a bit aged by now, but that doesn't take away from the overall top rating.

Went here for

The Lodge and Elephant Park are incredible. Nigel employs over 700 Balinese staff, and they adore him and their workplace. You see happy staff, smiling and enjoying the company of the visitors, the Elephants so calm and happy, and so well looked after, and the grounds are stunning. Nigel clearly had a vision when he created the Elephant Park and saved the Sumatran Elephants, and it has grown and developed from there. Everything about the Lodge is exceptional. The landscape, the elephant interactions, the choice of food options, and the choice of accommodation options. Everywhere you look is a delightful vision of warmth, consideration and excellence.

Room was a decent size, staff were really friendly and helpful, feeding the elephants from the front door of the room was such and amazing experience, having access to the park early was great all in all I don't have a single bad thing to say! Great experience

Loved every minute here would highly recommend it. What an amazing experience they take such great gentle care of their elephants it was so special. The keepers have a lovely bond with their elephants. Would love to return here again one day. Thank you to all the staff and elephants and of course the sweet Polly the resident cat for a memorable stay ❤️

Tucked away in the lush highlands of Taro, Mason Elephant Lodge offers something far beyond a typical resort stay—it’s an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime encounter with one of the world’s most intelligent and majestic animals, paired with luxury hospitality. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels serene and exclusive. The property is beautifully integrated into the surrounding jungle, with manicured grounds, tranquil water features, and the distant sounds of elephants creating a unique sense of calm. Mason Elephant Lodge is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Staff were extremely kind and welcoming. We were truly pampered. Top notch. The lodge and grounds were more than we could have hoped for! Our park view room had a superb view! We could hear the elephants exhaling deeply as they were waking up in the morning as if we were having a sleep over! My son loved every moment and didn’t want to leave. Can’t say enough good things. Do not miss this. Best experience on the island in 4 weeks of travel over 2 trips. I would liken the staff service here to staying at Aman resorts - truly pampered.

The bar's had a great selection. Very nice clean room. Cleaned excellent every day.

This place is beautiful. Friendly staff, delicious food. This is a luxury experience, living among elephants. This property has 24 elephants that are well taken care of; each elephant is handled with care, feed well, washed daily, and treated with dignity. From every room, you can see the elephants. Its such a treat; treat yourself to escape to paradise.

We enjoyed our stay here very much! It is TOTALLY worth staying here for a day or two. You get first access to saying good morning to the elephants before all the day-trippers arrive, and it's lovely to walk around the park in the evening. We came in Jan/26, so the park was very quiet guest wise. Breakfast and dinners were great (not included for us) and reasonably priced. As for the treatment of the ellies - they are well taken care of and have a much better life than before their arrival to Mason. Please watch the informative video, and talk to the mahouts. They are knowledgable and happy to answer questions! AS OF JAN 25 there are no more elephant rides - which was fine by us!! Just happy to be around such big beautiful gentle creatures.

All the experiences with the elephants near was awesome!!

I enjoyed the breakfast. The staff was the best on the island.

The room was kept very clean and tidy, the staff incredibly helpful and kind. The lodge was such special place to be and being able to interact with the elephants was a "Bucket List" experience. The staff look after the elephants very well. A wonderful experience. Thank you, we absolutely loved our time at Mason Elephant Lodge.
