Ellerman House is an historical landmark, wonderfully situated overlooking the ocean on Kloof Road in the Cape Town suburb of Bantry Bay. Here guests can enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and breathtaking year round sunsets. 

Ellerman House is a gracious yet modern country house within walking distance of the famous Clifton Beach, ten minutes from the centre of Cape Town and the bustling V&A Waterfront – departure point to Robben Island – and 45 minutes from the heart of the Cape Winelands. It’s an excellent springboard from which to discover the Cape’s many and varied attractions.
