The Alexander \ Accommodation in Knysna

Perched in a prime position on the spectacular Knynsa Heads with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, The Alexander takes style, ambience and personal service to new heights.

Accommodation

Each of our six suites and rooms has been individually created using lavish furnishings, decorations and objects d’art to provide guests with a uniquely sensual environment for relaxation and recreation. From the moment you are offered a complimentary welcome drink on arrival you can expect to be pampered, indulged and cosseted by our attentive, courteous staff in an atmosphere of unashamed opulence. Unwind with a glass of fine wine on the sundeck, take in the glorious seascape and watch for whales and dolphins in the ocean below.

Sip a refreshing sundowner from the ‘Martini seat’ in our stylish rim-flow pool or Jacuzzi. Experience the sheer indulgence of our gourmet breakfast or a sundowner braai. Enjoy a movie in your room from our ‘on demand’ DVD library before sinking into your luxurious super-king bed and being lulled to sleep by the hypnotic sound of the waves beneath.

Activities and attractions

Knysna and the surrounding area offers some of finest visitor attractions in the Garden Route and we can arrange sightseeing trips - by land, sea or air. Many of the most prestigious golf courses in the Southern Cape, including Pezula, Simola, Goose Valley, George, Fancourt and Oubaai, are within easy reach and we will be delighted to make tee reservations for you. For the less energetic, we offer in-room massage and other therapies from visiting practitioners to soothe mind and body.

Situated on the very edge of Knysna’s Eastern Head, The Alexander enjoys one of the most exclusive locations in South Africa. The views and ambiance are so captivating that you may never want to venture beyond its boundaries. But if you do, you’ll be richly rewarded. The entrance to the lagoon, with its scuba diving and angling facilities, is directly below The Alexander. Knysna’s vibrant town centre, waterfront and quays, offering a bewildering choice of fine restaurants and shops, are a mere 10-minute drive away.

An excursion to the vast, unspoiled beaches of nearby Brenton-on-Sea and Buffel’s Bay will invigorate your body and spirit and a lagoon cruise, nature walk or exhilarating catamaran trip through the turbulent waters of the Heads will provide an unforgettable experience.
