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.

The spacious Ellerman Suite - a masterpiece of classical style - is the pride of Ellerman House and contains breathtaking vistas of what must be one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

The East Wing Suite incorporates a private dining area with the spaciousness and décor that gives "deluxe" a unique meaning.

Framed by elegant draperies, the Balcony rooms and Ellerman Suite enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean which stretches as far as the eye can see.

In the Library, you'll find a room of warm, sunny disposition, a wide reading selection, and a comfortable armchair, waiting to be enjoyed at your leisure.
