I don’t typically write reviews but wanted to post one for Ellerman house (they did not ask for one). This was our second stay at Ellerman (previously March 2019). This is probably the best managed boutique property in the world. The place itself is one of a kind with a world class art collection to be enjoyed. Rooms and property are in excellent condition having been recently retouched in April 2024. The staff is the most attentive and friendly group in the world. They are creative and have extremely high standards. The service is more attentive than the Ritz in Paris and the friendliness makes the house feel more like staying at a wealthy friend’s home with some very generous hosts than a hotel. The food is delicious. The staff will organize bespoke tours around Cape Town if you speak with them. We are already planning our next trip.

Ellerman House is perfect. I could end my review there, but some memories that we’ll talk about forever: how we wanted our house to be as well designed as the public areas and our guest room, enjoying sundowners with the most beautiful view of the African sunset, to Zolani’s enthusiasm and experience behind the daily gin and tonic cart, to Michelle’s warmest of welcomes, to the complimentary (and dangerous!) butlers pantry, to the smiles and acknowledgements from every team member we encountered…could go on and on. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable experience.

It all began with the warmest of welcome by Marly! We delighted in the well presented, delicious cuisine and the decadent freshly made treats that not only filled the Ellerman pantry but our tastefully decorated, well appointed, peaceful, spacious and most comfortable room too. Efficient, friendly, personalised service from each and every member of staff, including Chef Gordon, Michelle, Yasser, Dickson and Warren, who all made us feel relaxed and at home. The art tour. with Lindsay, woven in South African history of the largest South African private collection ( a gallery of its own ), was extraordinary. Watching the whales whilst eating breakfast, wine tasting whilst over looking the ocean, a walk down the 500 steps to Clifton beach, recommended by Yolanda, and a night time stroll through the garden all added to our exceptional and unforgettable experience of South African hospitality in the splendour of Ellerman House. If you are looking for a holiday, par excellence, look no further, this is it!

Absolutely stunning location, supported by superb service, elegance and attention to detail. Sit on the patio whilst sipping your favourite drink and enjoying the panoramic view of the ocean. You'll be coming back for more!

Best property in Cape Town hands down. Absolutely fabulous stay at the Ellerman. Every single staff member knew our names, what drinks we liked, our dietary restrictions, and was always right there to help. The grounds are stunning, a photographer’s paradise! The rooms and common areas are literally a museum filled with a beautifully curated art collection. Our full day tour of the Cape was a highlight (Aslam is the best tour guide we have had, highly recommended)! If you are looking for luxury in Cape Town, look no further!

Ellerman House is by far one of the most iconic adresses in Cape Town and my stay has again underlined this. An amazing property, gorgeous design, a wonderful (!!!!!) team and delicious food! But this isn´t it ... the art collection is another reason why a visit of Ellerman House is a MUST for global connoisseurs!

A visit to Ellerman House today, a typically Cape winter’s day, to the restaurant for our mother/ grandmother’s birthday lunch… Nkosikhayi welcomed and ushered us in from the rain, and Nazlie was expecting us and had our booking in order. Michelle took good care of our table under Nazlie’s professional eye! Our dining experience was heavenly: warm, calm and peaceful with a beautiful view of the wild weather outside. There was no confusion, no mixups, no interruptions, no loud or unecessary intrusions. We so enjoyed the uncomplicated fare prepared to skillfully and beautifully. We especially appreciated being served our delicious desserts in the lounge (lemon pudding was the favourite) - where we could chat, read the newspapers, play cards and admire the beautiful Pierneefs! Seamus hosted us graciously. What a treat to escape to Ellerman House for the afternoon, celebrate our mom’s birthday, and have a respite from the craziness of this world! Thank you for sharing the space with us.

My stay at Ellerman House from 27th May 2024 to 28th May 2024 surpassed all expectations. The elegant décor, luxurious room with ocean views, and impeccable service made it unforgettable. Dining was exceptional, with delicious meals and an extensive wine selection. The spa and infinity pool offered perfect relaxation, while the private art collection added a unique cultural touch. The attentive staff ensured every need was met. Ellerman House is a sanctuary of luxury and sophistication, providing an unparalleled experience. Highly recommended for those seeking the finest in hospitality.

This has been the absolute worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. The hotel staff if kind but completely clueless. My family booked the 5 bedroom villa. On our first night every bedroom was either freezing cold our burning hot. On the second night we couldn’t turn off the lights in our bedrooms and the hotel staff had no idea how to resolve the situation so we just didn’t sleep. Checking out early tomorrow and booking another hotel.
