ELLERMAN
HOUSE - BANTRY BAY, CAPE TOWN
Ellerman House is an historical landmark
situated on quite the most spectacular site on Kloof Road in the
premier Cape Town suburb of
Bantry Bay. It is within walking distance of the famous Clifton Beach,
ten minutes from the centre of Cape Town and the bustling Waterfront,
and a mere 45 minutes from the heart of the winelands. It is the
perfect springboard from which to discover the Cape's many and varied
attractions - sun drenched beaches, world class restaurants, majestic
Table Mountain, spectacular scenic drives, golf courses, the Kirstenbosch
Botanical Gardens, and some of those special places that only Capetonians
know.
Ellerman House, once the stately residence
of Sir John and Lady Ellerman of shipping fame, has been meticulously
restored to its original early 20th century splendor and now has every
modern convenience for the discerning guest.
A brief sojourn or the unhurried luxury
of weeks of leisure; at Ellerman House you are assured that your stay
in this magnificent home in its extraordinary setting, will be one
of the highlights of your visit to the Cape.

Eleven elegant rooms, including the fabulous Ellerman Suite and East
Wing Suite, are individually crafted to provide a fabric of fantasy
and luxury. These, together with the gracious living rooms and sweeping
verandas and patios, boast unsurpassed views of the shoreline and bay
below. Amenities include a cellar of fine South African wines, a bar
with fireplace, a fully equipped gym and sauna, a glorious garden and
a large swimming pool.
The Regency-style splendor of the drawing
and living rooms are enhanced by tasteful antiques and South African
art. Faithful preservation of the historical architecture with indigenous
renovations have blended Ellerman House with the magnificent garden
and created secluded sun splashed places for relaxation and entertainment.
ELLERMAN HOUSE
Being a home rather than a hotel means that all of the rooms are different in size, shape and
décor yet they all have common features such as under floor heating, air conditioning, satellite
television, heated towel rails, luxurious toiletries and Internet connections.
Room One (Sea View, balcony)
This exquisite sea-facing bedroom (originally Lady Ellerman’s boudoir) is decked out in shades of calming green – from soft pistachio to zesty lime. It offers contemporary touches with botanical prints, turned lamp bases and a custom-made textured headboard. The bathroom is a luxurious pamper space in marble and silver. The wraparound balcony offers the perfect spot from which to enjoy sundowners and broad vistas of the ocean.
Room Two (Sea View, balcony)
Dreamy ocean views are echoed in the tranquil duck egg blue theme of this sea-facing room. The look is old meets new: antique chairs complement a sleek marble-topped TV console. Mirrored walnut cabinets are paired with the signature shimmering wallpaper. The bath in the pristine marble bathroom has one of the best views around. The balcony beckons you to enjoy a private al fresco dinner.
Room Three (Sea View, no balcony)
Sun-filled and inviting, this bijou room with its touches of leather, wood and linen, sleek TV console and eye-catching Cecil Skotnes painting will deliver a restful stay. Enjoy a cup of coffee whilst gazing out of your large bay window onto spectacular ocean views below. The en-suite bathroom is finished in cream marble while brass fittings add an elegant charm.
Room Four (Sea View, balcony)
Spacious, light-filled and gorgeous, this honeymooner’s paradise epitomises ‘wow’ in a big way. Two sets of double doors open up to our largest patio where lovers can lounge about in complete privacy. A deep-buttoned sofa invites them to cosy up inside. The décor is soft and enchanting: sumptuous fabrics, sleek lines and metallic touches. A dramatic black slate bathroom oozes glamour. Look out for the quirky circular window which frames another magnificent sea view.
Room Five (Garden View & Balcony)
Quiet and secluded, with soothing views of our natural rock and water garden, Room Five has a somewhat nautical feel: comfy wing back chairs in crisp white and blue stripes, charcoal sketches by William Kentridge and bold embroidered flower patterns on a custom-made curved headboard. It’s a look of timeless elegance that is echoed in the serene double-basin marble bathroom.
Room Six (No Sea View & No Balcony)
A glamorous floor-to-ceiling mirror reflects a twinkling chandelier in this warm and intimate space, which is decorated in soft green and caramel hues. On-trend circle-patterned fabrics, beech-wood cabinets and faux-leather ottomans add a contemporary flavour to this cosy abode.
Room Seven - Ellerman Suite (Sea View & Balcony, Lounge & Seperate Study area)
Lady Ellerman’s former art studio – now the Ellerman Suite - is the epitome of elegant comfort, with rooms styled with a beautiful layering of colours, fabrics and textures. The large sitting room – decorated in coral-patterned fabrics with punches of colour – looks out over the seamless glass balcony and the ever-changing Atlantic Ocean. It also features prized art and sculptures by leading South African artists. The bedroom extends into a dressing room and an exquisite grey marble bathroom with a lovely vintage-feel duo of vanity mirrors.
Room Eight (Partial Sea View & Balcony)
Textured wallpaper, deep-buttoned upholstered chairs and a contemporary wavy headboard beautifully complement the dusky pink tones of the striking Neil Rodger painting which hangs over a sleek leather-clad TV console. The intimate private balcony beckons one outside to laze about in the sun, taking in spectacular ocean views. The marble bathroom features a mosaic-tiled shower and glimpses of the lush garden.
Room Nine (Sea View, balcony)
Finished in a chic ink blue and off-white colour palette, Room 9 offers split-level living with an elevated bedroom that makes you feel at one with the endless blue ocean. The cosy sitting room is just the spot to catch up on the morning papers. It’s dressed in full-length curtains, bold prints, glamorous chandeliers and priceless paintings, while comfy cane chairs add a cool modern touch.
Room Ten (Sea View, balcony)
The split-level Room 10 delights with a sophisticated fusion of old and new, including shimmering velvet upholstery, vintage-patterned curtains and a sleek marble-topped TV console. The raised bedroom is filled with touch-me materials including velvet, linen and a duvet swathed in cool Egyptian cotton. The bathroom is a beautiful glass, mirror and marble-filled space with clean and contemporary lines.
Room Eleven - East Wing Suite (Sea View & Balcony, Seperate Lounge, Dining Room, Guest Washroom)
The luxurious East Wing Suite exudes timeless luxury and offers spacious living for business and pleasure. The raised bedroom features stylish textured wallpaper in hues of duck egg and caramel, sumptuous linens and a down duvet for the ultimate in snug comfort. Entertain eight friends in the elegant dining area or relax in the lounge, where Dylan Lewis artworks offset priceless old masters paintings. The bathroom is a serene haven decked out in marble and brass fittings, and boasts a huge vintage shower head sourced from London’s Savoy Hotel. The wraparound balcony offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, and private access to the garden and pool.
Spa Deck Room (Sea View & Deck)
A warm cocoon of honey-coloured wood paneling, plush carpet and crisp cotton has been created in this peaceful sanctuary-within-a-sanctuary. While away the time in the curved bath, looking out over the endless ocean, or soak up some sun on the patio right outside your sanctum. The bathroom is a contemporary fusion of glass and granite, which can be closed off with discreet sliding doors.
Spa Pool Room (Sea View & Deck)
The serene infinity pool - which seems to extend into the Atlantic Ocean - is a stunning focal point in this spacious room adjacent to the Ellerman Spa. Heavenly scents drift into this tranquil space which is bathed in soothing nature-inspired colours and textures. The décor is modern and minimal with warm beech wood paneling and hints of coppery tones.
Ellerman Villa
Ellerman Villa is the epitome of self-contained luxury and attentive 24/7 care (private chef and hospitality team included). Enter your slice of paradise from the stunning wraparound pool deck or via the leather-clad lift straight from your very own private parking lot.
Step inside a magnificent light-filled space filled with hand-picked contemporary South African art pieces. Look out for the high-octane glamour of a Swarovski crystal chandelier that hangs across two stories. Upstairs – as you walk past prized John Meyer pieces - choose from the calm and serene Lilac Room, the exquisite Aqua Room or the charming Yellow Room.
Catch up on work in one of the two studies or snuggle up in front of the box in the TV lounge (if you can tear your eyes away from the Demby Meyers and Andriaan Boshoffs on the wall).
Book the entire villa and spend quality time with family or close friends in the open-plan living/dining room, or on the large outdoor patio with breathtakingly beautiful views of the ocean.
