## Our read

Ellerman House is a small manor on Kloof Road, not a waterfront hotel. Their published count is 13 rooms and suites in the house, plus Villa One and Villa Two built into the cliff above Bantry Bay. The art collection and the Wine Gallery are in the building. The Atlantic is the view, when the room faces it. Guests under 12 are not booked into the manor. They are booked into a villa, if a villa is free. The V&A is a separate part of Cape Town. Come if you want the sea and the collection, and you can accept how few rooms there are. Skip it if you need a large hotel, or a crib in the main building.

## Come here for

- The Atlantic from Bantry Bay, not the Waterfront
- The art and the Wine Gallery inside the property
- Villa One or Villa Two when the group includes children

## Skip it if

- You are travelling with children under 12 and you wanted a room in the manor. The villas are the family stay.
- You want the V&A at the door. It is a drive.

## The place

Ellerman House is at 180 Kloof Road, Bantry Bay, Cape Town 8005. The phone is +27 21 430 3200. Their own 2024 note prints 13 luxury rooms and suites, plus two split-level villas. Villa One is published at 696 square metres, as a three-bedroom villa that can open two more rooms. Villa Two is published at 432 square metres, with three bedrooms, a private cinema, and an infinity pool. The manor sits above the Atlantic. They describe a large private art collection, a Wine Gallery, and a kitchen that follows the season. Their FAQ says the house welcomes guests aged 12 and older. The villas welcome families. Many rooms face the ocean. Some do not. A Classic House Room is the quieter one, away from the sea-facing rooms. This is Bantry Bay, not the V&A Waterfront. The Waterfront is a drive. Mount Nelson is a different hotel, in the gardens below Table Mountain. Come for the Atlantic and the art. Skip the manor if you are travelling with young children. Ask for a villa instead. The rate is on their booking page.
