The location and the view is spectacular.friendly staff and clean and spacious rooms.
We couldn’t use the bath tub because of whatever reasons and also couldn’t use the jacuzzi because the water was cold
RohannNLGreat location with beautiful views and lovely hosts
Lovely guest house. Wayne and Dirk took good care of us and provided great recommendation for the area with high level attention to detail. The staff is highly trained and you feel welcomed from the moment you step foot…
BoSouth AfricaNo hot water, 2 hrs wasted, no compensation, followed by an abusive public response from management
The room was spacious and the sea view was pleasant. Unfortunately, these were the only positives, and they were completely overshadowed by the lack of hot water and the way the complaint was handled.

Questions about Alexander Guest House
What time is check-in and check-out at Alexander Guest House?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Alexander Guest House allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Alexander Guest House?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Alexander Guest House have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Alexander Guest House have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Alexander Guest House have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Alexander Guest House?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
