Spa Experience:
A small, highly experienced team of therapists offers a carefully considered menu of skin care therapy and body treatments designed for relaxation, rejuvenation and self-improvement. Everything is designed to soothe the senses while the body and mind are coaxed into balance. Cuisine:
As guests enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, our team of dedicated chefs, led by Culinary Director Peter Tempelhoff, delight with vibrant South African inspired recipes. Seasonal local flavours are infused with culinary inspiration from around the globe with only the best regionally produced and sourced ingredients being used in our dishes. The complimentary guest pantry, also known as the "sugar shack" or "naughty corner" is available 24 hours to satisfy your in-between meal cravings. Wine Experience:
Wines from the cellar are only made available on the hotel’s wine list once they have been optimally aged and are deemed ready for enjoyment at peak maturity. Many of these fine wines are also available by the glass without compromising on quality, thanks to the Le Verre de Vin preservation system. The new Ellerman House Wine Gallery is not only a showcase for this extensive, award-winning wine collection but offers guests a unique, interactive journey into the world of wine. Art:
Art is the wistful soul of Ellerman House. Our unrivalled South African art collection has been meticulously collected and curated to tell the diverse story of our nation. The works span over two centuries, from Thomas Bowler commemorating Cape Town in the 1800s to more recent pieces from artists such as William Kentridge and his striking social commentary work in our Contemporary Art Gallery. Our in-house art guides are available to tour guests through South Africa's most important art collection, as she maps out the history of our nation. Tours to galleries throughout the city can also be arranged, where special private access is afforded to our guests.
