Ellerman House
Perched high on the cliffs of Bantry Bay with uninterrupted views over the Atlantic Ocean, Ellerman House is Cape Town’s crown jewel of luxury and refinement. Once a private Edwardian residence, this exclusive 13-room boutique hotel embodies South African sophistication at its finest.
Here, art, cuisine, and wine are woven into every aspect of the guest experience. The private gallery showcases more than a century of South African art, while the award-winning wine cellar houses one of the country’s most extensive collections, offering daily tastings and bespoke pairings.
Elegant suites spill onto private terraces overlooking the ocean, each thoughtfully designed to reflect a sense of place and tranquility.
Days are spent exploring the nearby beaches, galleries, and boutiques, or simply relaxing beside the pool with Table Mountain rising behind you. As evening falls, guests gather for curated tasting menus paired with exceptional local wines, a perfect prelude to the journey ahead.
Ellerman House is an immersion into the cultural and coastal heart of South Africa, where every sunrise and sunset feels like a private performance.
