Is the Kanonkop Guest House for Me?

Tucked into the treetops above the coastal town of Knysna, Kanonkop House offers a peaceful retreat on the edge of the Garden Route’s indigenous forest. With sweeping views across the Knysna Lagoon and out towards the iconic Heads and Indian Ocean, this small, privately owned property is designed for travellers seeking a relaxed yet refined experience.

You’ll find just seven rooms here, set within an elegant family home that blends warm hospitality with the polish of a five-star stay. The atmosphere is intimate, making it ideal for those who appreciate personal touches and unhurried moments. A pool and lush garden provide space to unwind, while the surrounding forest and lagoon invite quiet reflection.

Adventure is close at hand, with golf, kayaking, cycling, and hiking available from your doorstep. The property’s elevated position offers easy access to the town’s restaurants, galleries, and shops—just a short drive away—while still feeling removed from the bustle.

Kanonkop House is well-suited to couples, solo travellers, and nature lovers looking to explore the best of the Garden Route. For families and small groups, a collection of exclusive-use villas around Knysna extends the same thoughtful hosting in a private setting.
