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. Accommodation

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.
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.
Every room in this magnificent home has
its own distinct character individually created with the finest fabrics,
furnishings and artwork available.
In the bar, raw Table Mountain granite
blends with skilled masonry, sumptuous leather and rich woods. This
meticulous renovation has spared no detail in striking a refined balance
between contrasts. In winter, a fire provides yet another reason to
relax and enjoy a drink in a memorable environment. Ellerman house is committed to providing
all embracing hospitality. Sharing or single, the room rates are the
same and are inclusive of breakfasts, drinks, luxury airport transfers,
valet facilities and ad hoc secretarial services. The only additions
to the tariff are lunch, dinner, special vintage wine and Champagne
from the cellar, telephone and fax, and direct disbursements made on
your behalf.

are also free to invite your own guests to dine in the privacy of your
home at Ellerman House while
