Ellerman House

Ellerman House is a spectacular landmark in the premier Cape Town suburb of Bantry Bay, with unparalleled views over the Atlantic Ocean out to Robben Island.

It is an excellent base to enjoy Cape Town's attractions and nearby beaches, and when you've finished exploring, take time out to relax in Ellerman House's sumptuous rooms and gardens, enjoying a vast collection of vintage wines, outstanding cuisine, a high-quality South African art collection and a pampering spa.

Once a stately residence, the hotel has been meticulously restored to its former 20th Century splendour and now has every modern convenience for the discerning guest.

The hotel is within walking distance of the famous Clifton Beaches and just 10 minutes drive from the Waterfront area.

A highlight of Ellerman House is the owner’s extensive South African art collection spanning original works from the turn of the last century to current contemporary art, a separate collection of which is displayed in the Ellerman House Contemporary Art Gallery.

The charm of Ellerman House lies in its originality. Eleven elegant rooms are individually designed and allow guests to relax in luxurious surroundings. All rooms are en-suite and spacious, and original art from the hotel's private collection hangs on the walls, blending seemlessly with modern guest conveniences such as flatscreen satellite TV, under floor heating, air conditioning, internet connections and a complimentary minibar.

In addition, there are 2 luxury suites and 2 ultra modern luxury villas. Villa One incorporates the tranquil Ellerman House Spa, which specialises in cutting-edge massage techniques, anti-ageing beauty treatments and hydrotherapy. Villa Two is built above the Ellerman House Wine Gallery, which is not only a spectacular cellar for the hotel’s 7500 bottle wine collection but offers an interactive, experiential journey into the world of wine.
