    From booking to arrival and the time during your stay, Ellerman house staff make everything special and work hard to ensure you not only have a great stay with them, but also enjoy the many attractions around Cape Town. Nothing is too much trouble...

    Exceptional experience! The hotel looks like a castle, with so much art in it, manager told me they are the biggest private art collectors in Africa. Location is outstanding, interrupted views over the ocean and the amazing Cape Town’s sunset....
