A historical landmark of great repute, Ellerman House enjoys the most fantastic vantage point of the Atlantic Seaboard from its prestigious Bantry Bay location. Once the stately residence of Sir John and Lady Esther Ellerman, of international shipping fame, Ellerman House has been meticulously restored to its original turn of the century splendour and infused with every modern convenience and luxury.

Superb food, a cellar of 17,000 bottles of South African wine and a world-famous art collection epitomise proud South African hospitality, elevating it to take its place among the best in the world, while remaining true to its African heritage. Combined with its proximity to Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, with its eclectic shops and restaurants, this really is an idyllic city retreat.

Each of its nine elegant rooms and two sumptuous suites have been individually crafted to provide the ultimate in creature comfort. Combined with lavish living rooms, formal verandas, immaculate lawns and the most divine sea views, Ellerman House is committed to giving discerning guests the ultimate ‘home from home’ experience in its magical setting.

Throughout the House there is a captivating array of art work. Over the last decade, owners Paul and Jeanne Harris, have personally compiled an assortment of the finest in South African art. From early twentieth century oils to contemporary montages, these are openly displayed at Ellerman and make up one of the country’s largest private collections. Guests can subliminally enjoy their presence or join an art tour to gain more insight. Other on-site amenities include a fully equipped gym, sauna and rose-filled garden with a large pool.

To complete the indulgence, chefs provide lavish meals in the dining room or simpler fare on any one of a number of patios around the pool. A cellar of over 17,000 bottles of fine South African wines ensures that every meal is complemented with the finest grape and guests are encouraged to share their meals by inviting friends to join them in their Cape Town ‘home’. This warm hospitality and dinner party culture are reminiscent of another age and guarantee the most enjoyable of stays.

Ellerman House remains committed to providing all-embracing hospitality. Sharing or single, the room rate is the same, and is inclusive of breakfast, drinks, luxury airport transfers, valet facilities and ad hoc secretarial services.

Opened in 2006, Ellerman Villa & Spa is a strikingly modern development hidden in the gardens adjacent to the main house. A truly stunning departure from the classic feel of the original property, the Villa is a five bedroom, exclusive use pad for those seeking the ultimate in clean-cut, 21st century design. The cool, contemporary furniture, minimalist layout, angular infinity pool and decadent Swarovski chandelier are all the height of cutting-edge design.

Complete with its own kitchen, butler and spa treatment rooms, the Villa is the epitome of extravagant Cape properties.
