Very nice Spa Experience

“I was fortunate enough to enjoy the spa services at Ellerman House, and I must say, it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The spa facilities were immaculate, and the quality of the reflexology treatment I received was unmatched. I felt completely rejuvenated and relaxed, making it a highlight of my stay.” view full review

Exquisite Dining Experience

“Every meal at Ellerman House was delicious, and I especially loved the unique and varied breakfast options each morning. Lunch was equally good, and although I didn't dine in the restaurant for dinner, the quality of the other meals left me believing they would have been just as impressive. The views enjoyed during meals were an added bonus to the experience.” view full review

My stay at Ellerman House was absolutely magical. The stunning views and personal service are unmatched, making it feel like a true home away from home. The rooms are luxurious and well-appointed, but dining could be better given the many excellent options available in Cape Town. The facilities, especially the spa and pool, are a fantastic place to unwind. Overall, it's a hidden gem, worth every penny for such an unforgettable experience.

Our stay at Ellerman House was a mix of breathtaking experiences and frustrating moments. The ocean view from our room was absolutely stunning, and the staff exhibited incredible service, making us feel like family. However, we encountered some unfortunate mishaps with both our airport transfer and our wine order. While the amenities are luxurious and the dining experiences exceptional, these service hiccups leave a lot to be desired, especially given the price point.

My experience at this hotel was simply unforgettable. The luxurious atmosphere, combined with stunning views of the ocean, made my stay feel extraordinary.

Overall, my stay at Ellerman House was a mix of outstanding service and valuable amenities, yet marred by a few miscommunications and errors that detracted from the overall experience. While the staff provided exceptional care and the rooms were luxurious with great views, I encountered issues with the arrival transfer, a faulty VAT invoice, and the mishandling of wine from the wine cellar, which were disappointing given the hotel's high standards.
