About this hotel
Ellerman House is a luxury villa hotel in Cape Town's Bantry Bay neighbourhood, set on the slopes of Table Mountain with views across the Atlantic. The property operates as an intimate guesthouse rather than a conventional hotel, offering guests a boutique experience in a carefully curated setting. It has earned recognition as a Forbes Travel Guide property in 2026, reflecting its position in the upper tier of South African hospitality. The location places it within walking distance of the city's cultural institutions and the V&A Waterfront, while remaining secluded enough to feel like a private retreat. The hotel draws travellers seeking a refined, small-scale alternative to larger resorts, with particular appeal for couples and guests prioritising personalised service over extensive facilities.
