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.

"Not just a hotel, this boutique Edwardian mansion feels more like a private home and is one of Cape Town’s most exclusive properties, offering discreet glamour and seclusion. The views from Ellerman House alone are spectacular, thanks to an elevated location overlooking Bantry Bay. The facilities are fantastic – don’t miss the adults-only heated pool on the lower terrace."
