The serene Zen garden and sparkling swimming pool invite you to relax.

The rooms

Each of Kanonkop's six luxury suites has been individually designed to highlight local style, art and culture. The en-suite bathrooms are spacious, with a shower and a roomy tub. Nothing has been overlooked to make your stay enjoyable, from bathrobes, slippers and cotton linen to underfloor heating, satellite TV, CD player and a selection of CDs, a tea and coffee station and complimentary WiFi, you'll feel so at home here you'll want to come back again and again.

Activities

Most of the activities available at Kanonkop House take place outdoors, with hiking and mountain bike trails winding through the hills, valleys and forest; watersports, fishing or a sunset cruise on the lagoon (to be arranged in advance); and golfing at the nearby world-class Fancourt, Pezula and Simola golf estates. For those just looking to get away, relaxing with a book by the pool or on a recliner in the Zen garden provides all the activity you could wish for.
