Heritage Guest House in the small town of Alexandria offers affordable and comfortable accommodation in nine units. Doubles and Twins en suite and Twins and Singles with private bathrooms.
Previously called Olifantshoek (Elephant's Corner) - where Addo elephants once roamed freely - the town was renamed Alexandria in honour of Alexander Smith, the first Dutch Reformed Church Dominee sent here to look after the local gemeente (congregation). The Xhosa name for the town is Emnyameni which means "at the rainbow".
Originally known as Alexandria Hotel, this guesthouse began serving travellers in March 1852 and has been doing so continuously since then and from 1987 has been steadily upgraded by owner/managers Kathleen and Peter Gordon.
