Villas
On the slopes of Lions Head with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Ellerman House Villas epitomise the glamorous beach lifestyle Cape Town is famous for. Exclusive and privately staffed, each villa offers all the benefits of hotel living with the advantage of complete privacy and flexibility, perfect for multigenerational families or groups of friends. Built on multiple levels, each villa offers spacious entertainment and relaxation areas, numerous en-suite bedrooms and a private infinity pool with the best views Cape Town has to offer.
You may never want to leave the villa and we wouldn’t blame you. However, if you do want to do some exploring, we have a variety of activities available for you on and off property. At Ellerman House, we can provide you with an unforgettable experience at our very own wine gallery, our private art gallery or of course, the spa. With all of that you may find yourself wanting to stay at Ellerman for the duration of your stay in Cape Town. We would encourage enjoying our villas for at least a full day. But as you are in Cape Town though, why not also explore the rest of the city?
We have a variety of experiences that are exclusive to guests of Ellerman House. Our concierge team can arrange something that you will never forget. After you have enjoyed your curated experience, you will have our luxury Cape Town villas to come home to with a dinner made for you by the villa’s private staff. Feel the word private is a repeat in the last sentence?
