The newly built and refurbished Kanonkop House is a stylish and contemporary five star boutique lodge which lies high above Knysna Lagoon. With uninterrupted views of the Knysna Heads and Lagoon, this little gem is a favourite stay on the Garden Route.
The seven bedrooms and suites are decorated in a contemporary style infused with minimalist African art. Lots of emphasis falls on texture and light. Each has hand-made paddle fans, under floor heating, music system, tea/coffee facilities, satellite TV, percale linen, original art and finely crafted furniture.
You can use the lodge's various water and sports kits to enjoy the lagoon to its full extent. With canoes available for a gentle paddle on the lagoon, a ski boat for water-skiing or a gentle sundowner cruise, and mountain bikes for a not-so-gentle ride in the forest (hilly!). Kanonkop Guest House is a member at both Fancourt and Pezula. So, golf is offered to their guests at special rates.
Kanonkop has a full time, in-house massage therapist to do massages and mani and pedis at your convenience. This can be done in the privacy of your suite, or in the Junior room if available. Or around the pool.
Kanonkop is perched high above the town with views in all directions through wooded hillside. You can just drive in with easy parking and then walk through the very well-tended gardens, past the pool to the house. It is tempting to just stop at the pool...Then straight into the comfortable and modern living area with a view over the lagoon. Very clearly a family house with homely dog and family photos but very beautifully done and very welcoming. The rooms/suites are in in various buildings over the site. All the rooms are much better than the photos. Very carefully designed.
