Our Opinion: Once the stately home of Sir John and Lady Ellerman, distinguished shipping magnates and investors, Ellerman House is an elegant Cape Edwardian mansion known for having one of the most spectacular ocean views in South Africa. This boutique hotel offers a luxurious ‘home away from home’ experience for discerning travellers with a combination of discreet hospitality and efficient service.
