A clifftop mansion overlooking the Atlantic, where art, wine, and service define the experience
Perched above the dramatic coastline of Bantry Bay, Ellerman House is a private mansion turned boutique hotel that embodies refined elegance and authentic South African hospitality. With sweeping ocean views and just thirteen individually styled rooms and suites, the property feels more like a private home than a hotel — a place where service is personal, discreet, and deeply intuitive.
Art and wine are at the heart of the Ellerman experience. The hotel houses one of the country’s most important private art collections, spanning from early masters to contemporary visionaries, displayed throughout the home’s corridors and gallery spaces. Below ground, a striking wine gallery showcases over 9,000 bottles from South Africa’s top producers, offering curated tastings and exclusive access to rare vintages.
Guests can unwind on the ocean-facing terrace, enjoy spa treatments in the tranquil wellness center, or explore Cape Town’s highlights just minutes away. Whether you’re here for cultural immersion, coastal beauty, or quiet retreat, Ellerman House is a timeless base that offers both inspiration and indulgence in equal measure.
