Absolutely loved our stay. Adelle and Mark and all of their staff made us feel like we were at home. Adelle cooked a wonderful breakfast for me, catering to my allergies and vegan dietary requirements and each day was tastier than the last! The guest house is beautiful, comfortable, and very peaceful. Overall the stay was perfect. Would highly recommend and I'm looking forward to us going back there!

Beautiful setting with views over the lagoon. Our room was kindly upgraded during our stay as it was quiet, was clean and very spacious. The full house omelette at breakfast was absolutely delicious! Staff all very helpful and friendly, couldn’t do enough for you to ensure you had a comfortable stay.

As we came during a quieter period of the year, at times were the only people staying at the property. We were a little conscious of returning to the property late for the team to lock up the main doors if we had gone out for dinner and drinks. This is no fault or reflection of Kanonkop House or their brilliant staff, but just our feeling when going out on evenings during the off-peak season!
