Overview of Kanonkop House
South Africa, Garden Route
A luxurious guesthouse situated on Kanonkop Hill above Knysna, Kanonkop House offers spectacular views of the lagoon and the iconic Knysna Heads. Ideally located near the centre of town, this well-appointed guesthouse is a perfect base from which to discover the surrounding area of the Garden Route. Return to your art-filled suite after a day of exploring and luxuriate on your private balcony or in your raised bathtub, perhaps sipping on a tipple from the mini-bar.
Explore Knysna’s forests on foot or by bicycle and see if you can spot any wildlife – the bird watching is superb. Embark on a sunset cruise of the lagoon or go shopping at the local markets and crafts shops – many are within easy walking distance of Kanonkop House and offer a variety of shopping experiences. Knysna is a rewarding destination for any golf enthusiast: book a round or two at the exquisite Pezula Championship course or Simola Country Club.

We were given such a warm welcome from all staff, Liesel at Kanonkop was exceptional (we were upgraded to an amazing suite with beautiful views overlooking the Knysna River) with her advice on restaurants and activities to do and she supplied simple maps so we didn’t get lost.
