As a fan of small guest houses, I was pleased with this place. Sam was a gracious host, and working with the wonderful space and surrounds that are at Kanonkop, his service is well complemented. The view of the lagoon was second-to-none. Satisfying breakfasts and well-appointed rooms. More

We stayed at the Villa offered by KanonKop, what a great place with great views. The villa has heaps of space and really well appointed rooms with everything that you could wish for from satellite TVs to Pavarotti in the bed room!

We were welcomed by the lovely Sam who showed us to the gorgeous paradise suite with a glass of chilled white wine. It was beautifully furnished with high class toiletries and facilities. Nice touches like a selection of CDs were appreciated. There was a balcony where we could watch the ever changing views of Knysna lagoon and Heads. It was... More

Our thanks to Chris, Mark and Samantha (Sam) who made our short stay hard to end. The ambience of Kannonkop and the gloriously tranquil setting set off the... More

Kanonkop has to be the best place to stay anywhere along the Garden Route. We stayed there again in January this year, and were delighted to be met and treated as old friends by the family who run this beautiful guest house. Knysna is in itself a wonderful place to be, but Kanonkop's accommodation, setting, location, and views are spectacular,... More

It was luxury down to the last detail and we appreciated their sensitivity to the enviroment and loved their indiginous gardens. The views overlooking the Knysna Lagoon are spectacular and Chris, Mark and Sam were the perfect hosts and made us feel right at home. Nothing... More
