Ellerman House

Once the stately home of Sir John and Lady Ellerman, distinguished British shipping magnates, Ellerman House sits on the slopes of Lion’s Head in the prestigious Bantry Bay residential area. This elegant Cape Edwardian mansion is known for having one of the most spectacular ocean views in South Africa.

Just ten minutes from central Cape Town and the V&A Waterfront, the one and a half acre property features a panorama of Atlantic coastline that includes the infamous Robben Island. Now privately owned, Ellerman House is a showcase for South Africa’s finest accommodation, cuisine, wine, and relaxation. The setting is unequalled for the majestic grandeur of nature with its ocean and mountain vistas. Ellerman House is a haven for guest’s looking for the standards set in world class hotels, but with the personal attention of a boutique retreat.

Ellerman House is popular with our clients on South Africa Golf Holidays based in Cape Town, that are looking for the smaller, more intimate properties away from the busy V&A Waterfront area.

Guests can relax in the private heated pool and have exclusive access to the wellness centre offering beauty and relaxation treatments and a gym.
