Welcome to Ellerman House & Ellerman Villa

ELLERMAN HOUSE occupies a commanding position above Cape Town’s Bantry Bay only 5 km from the new FIFA World Cup soccer stadium. Ellerman House is world-renowned as a discreet getaway for the discerning traveller. In true Relais & Chateaux style, its exceptional hospitality is delivered in a dramatic natural setting under sundrenched skies with awe-inspiring sea views of the Atlantic Ocean stretching out to Robben Island.

ELLERMAN VILLA and the world-class spa is located in the gardens of Ellerman House and is the quintessential private retreat for a family, honeymoon couple or group of friends. It is a 21st century addition to the Ellerman experience and a breath of fresh sea air in its amazing contemporary architectural proportions that give the impression that one is on a ship.

Ellerman House was created for the enjoyment of the discerning traveller to South Africa and the Cape so that they could experience our wonderful South African hospitality, natural splendour, fine wines, exceptional cuisine and South African art treasures that have for so long remained undiscovered by art lovers.

Ellerman House Recognised Internationally

Ellerman House was recently honoured by two prestigious publications, Condé Nast Traveller and The Independent newspaper. The Gold List 2010, the annual Condé Nast guide to the world’s greatest hotels, acknowledged Ellerman House in the category ‘Best Hotels for Service’ among only three establishments in Africa, the Middle East and Indian Ocean. The Independent recognised us in an article titled ‘The Big Six: Hotels with Art Collections’. Ellerman House took its place alongside other legendary hotels in this regard – The Ritz-Carlton in Singapore, Gramercy Park in New York, St James’s Club and Hotel in London, The Cullen in Melbourne and La Colombe d’Or in Provence.

We pride ourselves on our personalised and distinctive style of service and are therefore gratified to learn that we remain loyal to the Relais & Chateaux motto ‘All around the world, Unique in the World’. Click here for the original Condé Nast Traveller article.
