Ellerman House
CAPE TOWN, WESTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA
Our take
Ellerman House is for collectors of quiet—couples and art people who prefer private terraces, a curated South African art collection and ocean views without the crowds. Think an intimate townhouse with a small, immaculately kept pool and staff who anticipate requests before you finish a sentence; bring good conversation and expensive wine. Skip it if you want a nightclub, babysitters, or a sprawling resort spa: this place rewards slow evenings, not pool parties or family chaos. Take it for three nights when Cape Town deserves to be savoured.
Notable Features
- Formidable collection of South African art
- Private terrace with plunge pool and uninterrupted Atlantic views
💡 Insider Tip
"Book the wine gallery for sunset and request a table by the windows; ask the sommelier to showcase lesser-known Cape vintages paired with small plates."
