My fiance and I stayed here the night we got engaged (May 2011) and absolutely loved it. For starters they were very accommodating when I mentioned the reason for our stay and asked for some roses and champagne to be placed in the room. The most beautifully presented bunch of red roses were in the room when we arrived and... More

We had a really nice stay. The rooms and location are really great and the staff extremly friendly. Be aware that Knysna 'downtown' is around 4-5 km away. The nearest restaurant is Cornuti Knysna located around 1,2 km away. They serve good pizzas and you can walk there but the walk back is up-hill so quite an exercise! We can... More

Just back from a couple of nights at The Alexander. Overall, a fantastic place to stay. We were in the Pearl room and it was great. Sea views from the room and of the Heads from the deck. The room itself was big and luxuriously decorated, with a nice bathroom. Great value for the price. The hotel has a fantastic... More

First the great things: We had the honeymoon suite for one night in December 2011 on our driving trip down the N2. Unbelievable views from our private deck, and from our room and from our bed--we could look out and see the Indian Ocean and the cliffs. Gorgeous. The room was lavishly decorated in an Asian motif. The king bed... More

Perfect location and total luxury - will definitely be back! Small words of advice to the owners would be to pre-cehyeck everything in the rooms before the guests check in. We had a few glitches with the DSTV, underfloor heating and had a cold shower one night. Everyone was very apologetic, and we know sometimes these things happen, but it... More

Stayed at "The Alexander" for a night on our way from PE to Cape Town. The location is perfect - unfortunately from our room we only saw the roof of another house. But from upstairs you've very good views towards the Ocean. Location couldn't be better. The complete hotel, the lobby, the rooms are very cozy, exactly what you expect... More

WE stumbled upon the Alexander House by chance, from the moment we stepped into the house we were welcomed! Considering we hadn’t made a booking they were more than happy to accommodate us and made us feel like they had been waiting for us to arrive. The owner Wayne was great in running us through things and gave us the... More
