Ellerman House is set within expansive terraced gardens between the Atlantic Ocean and Lion’s Head, giving you a refined introduction to the city with exceptional views, privacy, and understated hospitality.

With only a small number of bedrooms and exclusive-use villas, the property is designed around space, calm, and intuitive service. The setting allows you to enjoy the best of Cape Town while returning each day to a peaceful and highly personalised retreat.

During your stay, you can enjoy the spa, contemporary art gallery, wine gallery, wine and champagne cellar, brandy lounge, BAR ROC, library, dining rooms, lounges, guest pantry, solar-heated swimming pool, fitness centre, and cascading terraces. The property showcases South African art, wine, design, and hospitality in a deeply polished and private setting.
