Ellerman House

Bantry Bay

This Relais and Châteaux hotel is one of the world’s most exclusive retreats. High on a hill with to die for views of the gorgeous coastline, this feels akin to a French Riviera hideaway. Its magnificent position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Cape Town respects its status as a historic landmark.

The Ellerman Villa and Spa has added a 21st-century component to the classic original. Just 11 luxurious rooms and the sumptuous Ellerman Villa combine with flawless service, and the hotel’s extraordinary South African art collection is not to be missed, especially the new Contemporary Gallery
