We are a couple of early UK retirees liking to travel and stay in unostentatious interesting luxury and Ellerman House is simply a superb hotel with probably the best location and views in Cape Town. And it was the best service that we have ever had. We arrived early about 9am from the overnight plane from Heathrow and – what... more

Wonderful in every respect. Certainly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. I can't really fault it. They have thought of everything. Every hotel manager in the world should pay at least one visit to see how it should be done. more

Ellerman House is true luxury. The hotel strives to (and will!) accomodate all of your whims-- from serving absolutely anything via room service (not on the menu? no problem!), to providing a very glamorous wet bar in your suite, to running your bath for you (complete with rose petals). Our room was palatial -- absolutely enormous with a stunning view.... more

Stayed here when we arrived and had a view to die for - loved it and staff great and what a way to start our holiday. The room was good but the experience just fantastic - if this is South AFrica we cant wait to get more of it! more

Stayed at the EH for first three nights after my arrival to SA. The hotel is absolute haven for a discreet traveler how wants to enjoy their stay and not worry about crowded hotel lobbies.

We stayed at Ellerman House for 4 nights at end of fantastic holiday to South Africa. Our expectations were high having read superb reviews on TripAdvisor so, perhaps inevitably, we were slightly disappointed. Our room, whilst well appointed, was on the small side, particularly the bathroom and especially the shower which was tiny. I would therefore recommend steering clear of... more

we have stayed at the world's best places,e.g.,fregate island seychelles, singita private reserve south africa, sandy lane barbados,etc., and the ellerman house tops them all. even for the jaded , it is over the top, the best ever. more

From the time my daughter and I checked in we felt as though we were staying at the home of a friend. The room was lovely and views were stunning. The pantry was open for refreshments, our laundry was taken care of, sun tan lotion was provided and nothing appeared on the bill as 'extras'. The food was exceptional, as... more
