Ellerman House occupies a fabulous cliff top position right on the ocean at Bantry Bay. A member of Relais & Chateaux, this magnificently restored mansion has just eleven rooms and suites and offers a private villa for the ultimate in exclusive use for families or small groups. With exquisite skill, Ellerman House maintains the exclusive atmosphere of a private residence whilst offering all the advantages of a boutique hotel. Ten minutes from central Cape Town and within walking distance of Clifton's fashionable beaches, it is close enough to the action for anyone's tastes and yet has an ambience peaceful enough to soothe the most weary traveller. Condé Nast Traveller raved about the suites, saying they were so good guests would never want to move out. Individually furnished with antiques and gallery standard South African art, each has luxurious touches such as mohair blankets and heated slate bathroom floors. Thirty-six staff care for the twenty-two guests in a manner befitting the Edwardian guests of Sir John Ellerman, the shipping magnate whose home the hotel once was. As well as a stunning eighty-foot swimming pool, gym, sauna and memorable views over Table Bay, the restaurant's food and wines are amongst Cape Town's best, just as one would expect in such a fine hotel.
