Ellerman House occupies a Cape Edwardian mansion built in 1906, set above the Atlantic in Bantry Bay with the city falling away below.
It holds a private collection of around 1,000 works spanning two centuries of South African art, including pieces by William Kentridge and Irma Stern, alongside a wine gallery holding thousands of bottles. Run as an intimate house rather than a conventional hotel, it has become known among discerning travellers chiefly for its privacy and its art.
Known for: beach, local immersion, wellness.
Cape Town is a coastal metropolis defined by its striking topography, where Table Mountain drops directly into the Atlantic Ocean.
