Culinary Excellence

“During my stay, I was truly impressed by the dining experience at Ellerman House. From wonderful breakfasts served on the terrace to my evening meals which featured a changing dinner menu, each dish was crafted to perfection. The sea bass I had was good, and my husband's petit poussin was just as amazing. Eating dinner on the terrace while enjoying the well-prepared cocktails and canapés was an absolute treat!” 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.

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.
