A beautiful house in a stunning location, loved it

We were made extremely welcome at Kanonkop by Chris and the family, it was like a home from home. The balcony in our room overlooked the lagoon and what a wonderful view to wake up to in the morning. Breakfasts were delicious and Chris gave us excellent advice on sightseeing and local restaurants. A fabulous place to stay!
