About Ellerman House
Without a doubt, Ellerman House boasts one of the best locations in Cape Town. Set below the backdrop of Lion’s Head, this cliffside urban retreat is nestled on the edge of the city, offering unparalleled views of the Atlantic coastline.
As one of the top hotels in Cape Town, the superbly decorated, Cape Edwardian-style mansion offers a combination of individually decorated rooms, suites and ultra-modern villas. Along with shaded verandas that are perfect for lounging poolside while gazing at the ocean, especially when the sun goes down, Ellerman House also includes fabulous communal spaces including the lounge, library and immaculately preserved gardens.
Special mention must be made of the enviable art collection on display in the hotel. Featuring the work of esteemed South African artists, the walls of Ellerman House are adorned with incredible displays that range from fine art to contemporary pieces. A guided tour is available for guests wanting to learn more about the art on display in the private collection.
As well as the delicious cuisine that merges traditional French flair with local South African flavours, guests at Ellerman House can enjoy private wine tastings from an exquisite collection of South African wines, facilitated by the resident sommelier. Wine lovers have an extra special treat as the Ellerman House Wine Gallery stores over 7500 bottles of wine.
