Celebrating 25 years and a member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux collection, this exclusive and stylish boutique property is privately owned and highly sought after by the most discerning traveller. The elegant Cape Edwardian-style mansion, dating back to 1906 when it was the private home of a shipping magnate, sits in secluded tiered gardens on the slopes of Lion’s Head in the exclusive suburb of Bantry Bay, with spectacular views over the ocean and out to Robben Island, and only a 10 minute drive from the centre of Cape Town. Renowned for its luxurious accommodation, celebrated cuisine, South African wine collection of 7,500 bottles, and personal service, Ellerman House offers 11 rooms, two suites and two private villas that are ideal for families or small groups of friends travelling together as they are equipped with their own personal chef and staff. With lounge, library, dining, a spa, outdoor pool, state-of-the-art gym, whisky bar, an ever-evolving contemporary art gallery and wine and champagne gallery with tasting lounge, showcasing rare and special vintages of Dom Perignon and Moet & Chandon, Ellerman House guests can relax and enjoy genuine privacy and luxury. Whether it is a birthday celebration, an intimate wedding or a family reunion, Ellerman House is the perfect location to celebrate a special occasion for guests. As the hotel is not open to the public it provides the ultimate private and exclusive retreat for guests. A new addition to the property is the Studio which showcases The Collection at Ellerman House – a well curated collection of high-end products that are unique to South Africa ranging from jewellery to artwork and locally produced accessories, and for guests to feel right at home during their stay, The Pantry is a very special inclusion reminding visitors of the pantry they might have at home for those much needed snacks. This year will see the launch of Ellerman Sessions: an intimate story telling session with local musicians. Listen, chat and enjoy live music while learning about the origins of each song.
