If you are looking for clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation you've come to the right place. . .

Heritage Guest House in the small Settler town of Alexandria, offers clean 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 is now known as Alexandria in honour of Alexander Smith, the first Dutch Reformed Dominee sent here to look after the local gemeente (congregation).  The Xhosa name for the town is Emnyameni which means "at the rainbow".

This business began serving travellers in March 1852 and has been doing so continuously since then and for the past 23 years has been steadily upgraded by owner/managers Kathleen and Peter Gordon.

In November 2007 the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) rewarded their efforts by awarding:

  • 3 stars - TGCSA

Known for their delicious country-style breakfasts, the guest house is licensed and lunches and dinners can be had by arrangement.

Security gates ensure safe open parking for guests.
