Ellerman House

The beautiful Ellerman House overlooks the Atlantic from Cape Town’s upmarket suburb of Bantry Bay in South Africa. This intimate hotel occupies a former stately home and has just eleven rooms, two suites, and a five-room villa. Lovely views sweep across as far as Robben Island from its vantage point high up on the slopes of Lion’s Head Mountain.

The hotel retains the feel of an elegant colonial mansion, complete with an impressive art collection. With eleven rooms, two suites and a five-room villa, this luxurious hotel occupies a former stately home with over an acre of grounds.

Guests have access to a 24-hour pantry stocked with homemade treats and snacks while the hotel’s sommelier and chef await instructions on how to cater to their needs. Organic local produce dominates the daily changing restaurant menu, emphasising modern European-style cuisine.

The tiered gardens and the solar-heated lap pool overlook the sea, while the gym boasts motivating floor-to-ceiling windows.

The Ellerman House Spa has three treatment rooms, a sauna and a steam room.
