My wife and I spent a week at Ellerman House this past April. Other reviewers have discussed the beautiful site, the artwork, the scrumptious menu, and the wonderful staff...and we found all of their superlatives to be, if anything, an understatement. I want to highlight one of the smaller services that we so enjoyed during our stay -- the open... More

The views are astonishing. The service unparalleled. The cuisine world-class. The accommodations in perfect taste. The professionalism of the staff only surpassed by their warmth. It's easily Cape Town's best hotel.

Stunning views, excellent food, friendly service and a luxurious room were the ingredients of our stay at Ellerman House. The gallery provides an insight into SA art and there is a gym for those who wish to work off the wonderful meals - we opted for Chardonnay and an evening stroll vs the treadmill!
