Ellerman House is a private boutique hotel set in Bantry Bay on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, with sweeping ocean views and easy access to the city’s best beaches, restaurants, art galleries and landmark attractions. The property combines the feel of an exclusive private residence with the service level of one of Cape Town’s most refined luxury hotels.
The hotel offers individually styled rooms and suites, supported by two contemporary private villas for families or groups wanting a more exclusive stay. South African art, a celebrated wine collection, thoughtful hospitality and elegant coastal living are central to the Ellerman House experience.
We love Ellerman House for the way it brings Cape Town together in one place. It is not just a beautiful hotel with Atlantic Ocean views; it also gives guests a strong sense of South African art, wine, cuisine and warm hospitality.
It works especially well for guests who want a polished city stay before or after safari. The location is quiet and exclusive, yet close enough to Cape Town’s beaches, Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and the city’s dining scene.
Boutique Rooms and Private Villas
Accommodation ranges from Classic and Superior House Rooms to Deluxe Rooms, Ellerman House Suites and two private villas. The villas are ideal for families or friends travelling together, with generous living spaces, ocean views and a private-residence feel.
Art, Wine and Dining
Ellerman House is known for its South African art collection, extensive private wine cellar and refined dining experience. Guests can enjoy a stay that feels deeply connected to Cape Town’s creative, culinary and cultural identity.
Seamless Cape Town Comfort
The property offers a strong set of inclusions and facilities, including breakfast, selected beverages, minibar, daily wine tasting, art tours, laundry, Wi-Fi, gym and spa facilities, a heated lap pool and attentive concierge support.
