Kanonkop House

Kanonkop Guest House offers luxurious comfort, breathtaking views of the Knysna Lagoon and Heads, serene atmosphere and unique personal service along Western Cape’s enchanting Garden Route.

The accommodation in Kanonkop ensures exclusivity and privacy, and the spacious, bright rooms are beautifully appointed and decorated by top South African designers.

This family-owned guest house is surrounded by a beautiful garden and small indigenous forest that attracts wildlife and an abundance of birds. Enjoy their antics whilst relaxing on a lounger next to the pool.

Knysna, a favourite South African coastal resort town, spoils you for choice with fine beaches, magnificent forests ideal for gentle strolls or strenuous hikes and a wide range of restaurants and shops. The owners will be more than happy to offer advice and help you organise the perfect day.

Enjoy a drink in the elegant guest bar, lounge and dining area. Help yourself to the complimentary drinks in the fridge and spirits bar.

There is also a microwave and kettle for hot snacks and beverages. After a peaceful night’s sleep, plan the day ahead over a scrumptious breakfast, as well as made-to-order hot dishes served under umbrellas on the patio or in the dining room.

The Garden Route is a very popular golf destination with world-class courses adorning dramatic cliff tops and scenic countryside. Knysna is extremely well positioned, making it possible to play on a different course every day of the week.

Take a lagoon fishing trip with Kanonkop’s qualified and experienced skipper, aboard a fully equipped motor boat. He will also take you water skiing and wake-boarding and will give tuition if required. Or, if you prefer something more relaxing, take a sunset cruise aboard a luxury speed boat. Guests are also welcome to make use of Kanonkop’s canoes.

Kanonkop has two mountain bikes for guest use and they will transport you to forest bike trails and fetch you later.

The beach at Brenton-on-Sea offers kilometres of rolling waves washing onto pristine golden sands, defined by towering sand dunes. Further along is Buffalo Bay, a safe family swimming beach favoured by both locals and visitors.
