Ellerman House

Ellerman House is a serene hillside retreat overlooking the Atlantic, set in an elegant Edwardian mansion in one of Cape Town’s most exclusive coastal neighbourhoods. Its elevated position on the slopes of Lion’s Head gives guests wide ocean views and a sense of calm, while still being a short drive from Clifton Beach, Camps Bay, and the V&A Waterfront. The property blends art, architecture, and hospitality in a way that feels both refined and welcoming.

The hotel offers a collection of individually styled rooms, each designed with thoughtful detail, South African art, and warm finishes. Many rooms include ocean-facing balconies, antique touches, or generous living spaces. Suites elevate this even further with separate lounges, dining areas, and large private terraces overlooking the coastline. For added privacy, the contemporary villas include their own pools and dedicated staff, giving guests a discreet, residential-style escape.

Facilities throughout the property are extensive, including a spa, outdoor pool, an art gallery, a well-stocked pantry available throughout the day, and inviting shared spaces like the library. A farm-to-table restaurant and evening cocktails add an easy rhythm to the stay.
