ELLERMAN HOUSE RATES: Ellerman House Rates

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.
