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! More

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. More

My wife and I just returned from a safari in Namibia and Botswana that finished with a long weekend in Cape Town. I had booked a room at The Ellerman House because we frequently stay in hotels that are affiliated with Relais & Chateaux. The Ellerman House is not inexpensive and if one is fortunate enough to stay there, he... More

I stayed at Ellerman House for 4 nights in early July 2011 The position of the property is simply the best - both in terms of the best sea views Cape Town has to offer but also quick and easy access to the major attractions of what the city has to offer as well as the Cape Winelands Ellerman House...

If this isn’t the best accommodation in Cape Town, I don’t know what is. A swarm of hotel staff greeted us on arrival, including the manager – all warm, engaging and genuinely caring. An upgrade to the Ellerman Suite (Room 7) in the gabled roof of this elegant, sprawling mansion was a real treat. A large lounge and separate bedroom... More
