Ellerman House is a true gem. The views and service were spectacular at this one of kind property. The artwork alone would be a reason to stay here. It's a true oasis that never felt crowded when we were there.

Look no further in Cape Town! Ellerman House is absolutely beautiful, the most delicious food, and gorgeous views, but the incredible service is what makes Ellerman House special. We were constantly greeted with a smile and nothing was too much to ask. The 24-hr pantry was such a fun treat. It is truly one of our most favorite hotels anywhere in the world. Thank you to each and everyone at Ellerman House. We will be back!

I have stayed in many luxury hotels around the world but never have I experienced the level of luxury and service that I did at the Ellerman House. From the moment we walked in until we left our every need, no matter how small, was attended to. The grounds, rooms and facilities were all immaculate and well cared for. Food, wines and drinks were benchmark and staff was amazing. This is defiantly a must if you are in Capetown and you will not regret the stay and experience here!

It is very hard to find fault with any aspects of the Ellerman, but I do wish the TV picture, especially on the SuperSports channel, was better and I do think they could include a house wine option in the included drinks. The place just oozes quality from the public rooms, the bedrooms, the food and the level of service by each and every member of staff. I can't wait to return. If you can afford it, stay there at least once. I am sure you won't be disappointed.,

Excellent hotel with lovely service and beautiful rooms. Do not miss the art collection! And the evening gin cart was lovely. Breakfast on the terrace is highly recommended. The staff even provided us with extra gooseberry jam to take home!
