First stayed at Kanonkop in 2007 but the The Paradise Suite was taken, so before we left, we made sure to book it for 2008. What a fantastic location, waking up in the morning with the sunlight steadily flooding across the lagoon and watching the ever-changing colours over the water towards the Heads. I've been to the Western Cape many... more

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Kanonkop which overlooks the beautiful Knysna Bay in South Africa. Our room, The Paradise Suite was perfect with balcony and raised bath overlooking the Knysna Heads As soon as we arrived we were treated as one of the family. Chris, Mark and Samantha Conyers do everything they can to make you their number... more

We stayed here for the 2nd time for 4 nights and again we had a excellent stay. Marc and his family just finished a major refurbishing, they did an outstanding job in making these suites a luxury retreat with modern design, lots of charm and comfort. Well done ! We liked the Sunbird Suite very much, tastefully designed and decorated,... more

We did approach Kanonkop with a little bit of trepidation , as we had booked the Paradise Suite and had read a couple of worrying comments re. the toilet situation.

Arriving late afternoon to a very frosty reception from 'the wife' of Chris we were eventually shown to our room 'The Paradise Suite'. Our professional private guide was instructed... more

On our second visit to Kanonkop we were greeted like family. Chris, Mark, Adell and Sue were all very sweet. The golf had all been booked in advance and all the plans were excellent. The rooms were all super. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the restaurants that the hosts recommended were all amazing. We will be back, and look... more

We spent two nights here as part of the garden route tour. The first night was in the "No Matata" room which is comfy, spacious and has a lovely bathroom. We slept like logs as it was very quiet. The hosts Mark and his wife Arlene were so welcoming and friendly - we fell in love with the newest member... more
