Ellerman House

AMAZING... The views, the service, the art, the bar, the food... Everything was so perfect. We can here just for the dinner, but were received very nicely in this very selective boutique Hotel. First, we were welcome and guided to the garden and our table. It was too early to eat, so we had a cocktail at the bar and a walk in the garden. The guided tour in the gallery was super interesting, as well as the cellar... The food was divine, from the amuses bouche to the dessert. Super well prepared kingklip, and delicious financier. And this view... I'm blown away!

Great view great room great bar great pool great food great drinks great pantry great minibar and many other greats and the best was the staff who make you feel like it’s your home !! I worked out I’ve stayed in 56 countries and what must be 100 + hotels and this is one for the best !!!!!!

We loved everything about the Ellerman house. Gorgeous and incredibly well designed and thought out property. Our room was fantastic. The views were great too. All meals we had there, including dinner were fantastic. And the location is great too. The people were among the best - they were all genuinely super nice and actually put you in a good mood they were all so upbeat. But they were also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Such a fantastic stay!

This was our third stay at Ellerman. IMO it is the best hotel in the world, and I have been around the block. It is basically a world-class museum with a hotel thrown I. For good measure. The service is impeccable, the view is unreal and sundowners in the veranda are heaven. The bar is phenomenal and the wine list impossibly long. We enjoyed a 2002 Pinotage with dinner one night - a treat I will not forget. The main restaurant is lovely and the new restaurant, Curate, is next level. All of that is fine, but the real magic of Ellerman is that is is one of the few places I have ever been where I can truly relax. It is true the rooms are variable, given it is an old house. We have had great luck on all three of our visits, but could see where the wrong room would be disappointing. We have only been there in the winter, but I imagine the pool is a hot spot in the summer.

I was treated to a birthday spoil and very rarely am I left speechless. If there is a heaven, this is where I want it to be. Staff discreet but also always on hand. Privacy and indulgence on steroids. Find yourself peeps who will treat you like mine did.
