We stayed here for two nights during our drive along the Garden Route. If our stay only included the beautifully appointed room with a stunning view of the Indian Ocean, a guest house filled with antiques, a dining area just above the crashing ocean, a delicious breakfast and a location on the Knysna Heads we would have been satisfied. But... more

This my review is going to be rather exceptional. First of all a small introduction just a proof that I have a basic experience: I am traveling a lot, both for business and leisure, for each of the last 20 years visiting 30-40 hotels a year where circa 60% are 5* and 40% are 4* hotels. I think that I... more

My husband and I just reciently visited South Africa on our honeymoon and spent two wonderful nights in The Alexander in Knysna. From start to finish we were pampered. Raeleen greeted us with a very warm welcome and showed us to our room where she had a chilled bottle of champagne, chesee borad and rose petals scattered all over our... more

I visited the Alexander in December 2008 and I whole heartedly agree with the review below "Was very disappointing and marred our honeymoon". This guy has it spot on - bathrooms that smell so bad due to the drainage system that your whole bedroom stinks (and poor excuses provided), no telephones, although they said by Jan 2009 they would have... more

My husband and I stayed at The Alexander for two nights at the end of our trip to South Africa. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which we found to be excellent - sumptuous decor and really effective aircon. The breakfast was wonderful, with Raeleen taking real pride in their homemade breads etc. Our views were great - there was... more

My partner David and I spent 4 amazing nights at The Alexander in Kynsna, we wished it could have been 7. They really know how to make your stay an experience and not just another night in a bland hotel. We stayed in the Amber room and found it lovely. From the luxurious king sized bed, to the large soaking... more

A very nice welcome and A great location on top of... more
