Review of Kanonkop House
Lovely, refined, sophisticated, elegant, but relaxed. Set above the Kynsna Lagoon estuary with the Knysna Heads in the distant, Kanonkop offered difficult to rival views of beautiful landscapes. And with staff as helpful as their's, it was hard to leave such a beautful place. Very highly recommended as a base in this fantastic part of the Garden Route.
Great welcome from Chris , Mark and Samantha. They were happy to sit and chat, suggest activities, make restaurant bookings etc. The only slight disappointment was that we did not get the Sunbird Suite as per our booking but instead got The Forest Suite which was beautifully furnished but was darker and set lower down. We did not complain.
