A beautiful house in a stunning location, loved it
We were made extremely welcome at Kanonkop by Chris and the family, it was like a home from home. The balcony in our room overlooked the lagoon and what a wonderful view to wake up to in the morning. Breakfasts were delicious and Chris gave us excellent advice on sightseeing and local restaurants. A fabulous place to stay!

3 Tage Knysna
Wir verbrachten 3 Tage in dieser ehemaligen Familienresidenz die zu einem Guesthouse umgebaut worden ist. Bereits der Empfang war sehr persönlich, alles wurde erklärt und Empfahlungen gegeben. Auch die sehr persönliche Bedienung beim Frühstück hat uns sehr beeindruckt. Wir haben unsere Warmspeisen direkt in der Küche bestellt. Das während unserem Aufenthalt noch die dreckigen Schuhe und das verschmutzte Auto ingefragt geputzt resp. gewaschen wurde haben wir so noch nie erlebt. Wer nach Knysna geht sollte nicht weitersuchen, geht ins Kanonkop Guest House. Besten Dank Mark uns seinem Team, hervorragend, wir kommen wieder und ich hoffe es klappt dann mit der Golfrunde mit Mark.
