The 5 * restaurant serves only meals to hotel guests. We were not staying there, but friends were, consequently we could enjoy dinner with them. Awsome place, the building extraodinary, awsome views over Bantry Bay. And then its magnificent art collection of South African art. We wil certainly be staying here, when we next in the Mother City.

My hubby and I stayed at EH for 7 nights after our safari and rovas train trip. What can I say about this beautiful house and staff? words just don't seem to do it justice. Riad met us at the station and drove us to EH, where we were met by Ella who greeted us as though we were part... More

My wife and I stayed at the Ellerman House for three nights during our honeymoon in October. As another reviewer noted, the view of the property from the gate is underwhelming, and we were slightly concerned that our experience was not going to match our high expectations. And then we walked inside. Property We were greeted at the door and... More

We arrived to Ellerman House a little jet lagged and to be honest we were a bit underwhelmed upon arrival. This changed quickly. Everything about this place is both luxurious and relaxing. Our room (#9) had a great balcony and view of the ocean. The service was perfect, every meal was special and very good (rare to find). The downstairs... More

We stayed at the Villa and it was perfection in every way. The views are to die for, the service was terrific and to top it all off the Hotel has a wonderful art collection which was graciously shown to us by one of the Managers. It's a wonderful way to experience Cape Town!

From the minute we arrived we were made to feel like royalty! Ella, the hospitality manageress, gave us a very warm welcome and tour of the hotel (which very quickly felt like home). Our suite was immaculate in shades of green and with the most spectacular view over Bantry Bay... The fresh roses, the perfectly ripe strawberries... the ice cold... More

A staff of 65 people works for 10 rooms. When we were there they had not more than six guests including us. More service is not possible. Great view! Excellent interior, like an old English castle. All fire places are burning all the evenings, though almost never is a guest there - everything is waiting in this fantastic place that... More

Ellerman House is a boutique hotel that offers a personalised experience. All the rooms are sea facing and the private villa is ideal for groups. The art collection offers a great introduction to South African artists. Dinner on the verandah is an elegant affair. The service was friendly. I am a vegan and was invited into the kitchen to discuss... More

We have stayed at Ellerman house a couple of times and it has been truly sublime. Whether you are looking to do business in cape town or escape and spoil your spouse, Ellerman House truly feels like you have come home. You are not treated like a guest, you are made to feel like a special long lost family member.
