A member of Relais & Châteaux and former home of shipping magnate Sir John Ellerman, this magnificent mansion overlooks Bantry Bay just 10 minutes from central Cape Town. Reminiscent of the great Riviera villas, it maintains the exclusive atmosphere of a private residence, while cocooning guests in impeccable service and stratospheric standards of luxury. Adorned with gallery-worthy South African art, the 11 suites are classically decorated with sumptuous furnishings and luxurious touches such as mohair blankets and heated bathroom floors. The dedicated staff care for the guests in a manner befitting the Edwardian guests of the original owner. As well as a stunning 24 metre swimming pool, gym, sauna and memorable views over Table Bay, the restaurant's wine cellar of more than 7,500 bottles, plus its food, is among Cape Town's best. Within walking distance of Clifton's fashionable beaches, it is close enough to the action and yet has an ambience peaceful enough to soothe the weariest traveller. Just next door, Ellerman Villa is an ultramodern fantasy ideal for families or small groups. Described as ‘the wonder of all hotels’, its’ contemporary style architecture houses three breathtaking suites, two luxury rooms and spa. With sleek teak decks, glass walls, infinity pools, original sculptures, fine art and a personal butler, Ellerman Villa is just as desirable as the superb Ellerman House.
