On the slopes of Lion’s Head in the prestigious Bantry Bay residential
area in Cape Town sits Ellerman House. Ellerman House stands for
the true essence of luxury, refinement and with an exceptional ser-
vice. What used to be the home of the shipping magnates, Sir John
and Lady Ellerman, is now the elegant Cape Edwardian mansion and
is known for having one of the most beautiful ocean views in South
Africa. Ellerman House is situated just 10 minutes from the heart
of Cape Town and the one-and-a-half-acre property, now privately
owned, stands as an iconic showcase of South Africa’s finest hospi-
tality, cuisine, art, wine and leisure.
The boutique hotel has 13 rooms, 2 suites and 2 three-bedroom Vil-
las. Each room is individually decorated offering all the luxuries of
five-star accommodations. Attention to detail ensures that there are
no two rooms alike. As for the amenities, the property boasts two
lounges, a library, a dining room, three dining terraces, a spa, a fitness
centre, pool, brandy lounge, Wine Gallery, Contemporary Art Gallery
and Champagne Cellar. Since the property is not open to the public,
it guarantees the offer of a genuine level of privacy and exclusivity to
guests. Entirely separate from Ellerman House but still on the same
property, two exclusive-use, privately staffed villas offer all the bene-
fits of being attached to a small hotel with the advantage of complete
privacy and flexibility.
