A beautiful, century-old Victorian setting with lagoon views is the theme for Knysna Backpackers and their many visitors, their warm, relaxed and friendly manner will help all travellers feel welcome on their stay in Knysna. Positioned in the centre of Knysna’s town, visitors are in walking distance to the waterfront and many other hot-spots.

Double, single or bunk-beds are available, communial lounge, balcony, kitchen and bathrooms are very clean and spacious, you feel like you have room to breathe, everyone is not in your face all the time, a very important characteristic, some furniture ideas are quite glamourous too. Even the Knysna locals visit the backpackers for drinks and enjoy the travellers that visit and stay to enjoy Knysna’s natural fabulousness.

Breathtaking views of the vast blue lagoon, looking from the Kanonkop Hill down onto the perfect waters and famous Knysna Heads, is the focal feature from your bedroom or bathroom at Kanonkop Bed and Breakfast lodge, boasting also a beautiful pool and deck area too, each and every open area is a good reason to display a uniquely luxurious experience of art and life. These are only a few reasons why Kanonkop has been awarded a 5 star rating.

Breakfasts are made to the customers liking and the owners are acutely aware of the golfers early starting times as they are members of the 3 major courses in the area and offer special rates for clients. They make breakfast provision for the early birds and late waking holiday makers. The Conyers family open their home to their guests and assist to please their every whim, also offering a shuttle service to enable clients easy access to all of Knysna’s activities, if you are lucky enough they will invite you for a Moroccan prawn braai dinner and Opera singing – Mrs Conyers is a well known South African Opera singer and thus brings the drama into her every chosen home accent, such as the Blue Crane water featre in the entrance to their home – a true interior delight.

Sunbird, Sivuyile, No Matata and Paradise are the names of the suites at Kanonkop. Paradise has been named the “Best Room” to stay over in Knysna – by Frommer’s South Africa Travel Guide. Each room is sophisticated, romantic and did I mention – luxurious… clients become friends as they return every year to enjoy their stay with the Conyers family, while exploring Knysna.
