Built by shipping magnate Sir John Ellerman in the early 1900s, Ellerman House is now one of South Africa's top hotels and one of the world's most romantic.
Nestled on the slopes of Lion's Head at stunning Bantry Bay, Ellerman House commands breathtaking views of the bay and the sea as well as the mountains. Ellerman's refined architecture sets a romantic mood. Graceful masonry work is highlighted by arches, and palm trees dot the beautifully landscaped grounds. The hotel's public rooms are done in an intimate Edwardian style that continues into its cozy guest rooms and suites. Behind the hotel, a simple pool is made breathtaking by the plush green lawn surrounding it and its views of Bantry Bay beyond.
Ellerman's Edwardian-style dining room maintains the inn's theme of intimacy. Decorated with care and detail, the dining room reflects an elegance rarely found in today's newer restaurants. A world-class staff makes dining here reminiscent of an era when top-flight service was the rule not the exception. Lastly, the flavorful food is skillfully prepared and is easily matched with many of the fine local vintages found on the wine list.
