Information about the area

The Garden Route is a very popular golf destination with world-class courses adorning dramatic cliff tops and scenic countryside. Knysna is extremely well positioned, making it possible to play on a different course every day of the week.

Take a lagoon fishing trip with Kanonkop’s qualified and experienced skipper, aboard a fully equipped motor boat. He will also take you water skiing and wake-boarding and will give tuition if required. Or, if you prefer something more relaxing, take a sunset cruise aboard a luxury speed boat. Guests are also welcome to make use of Kanonkop’s canoes.

Kanonkop has two mountain bikes for guest use and they will transport you to forest bike trails and fetch you later.

The beach at Brenton-on-Sea offers kilometres of rolling waves washing onto pristine golden sands, defined by towering sand dunes. Further along is Buffalo Bay, a safe family swimming beach favoured by both locals and visitors.

Room information details

Each room has been individually decorated by award winning designers. Each of the 5 spacious suites have private entrances, with home comforts including locally made bath products to robes and slippers.
