Ellerman House – Villa One

Designed for discerning travellers who value privacy as much as space, Ellerman House Villa One offers a level of exclusivity and personal service that is rare. The scale, setting and flexibility of the villa allow families and friends to settle in completely, knowing every detail – from meals to daily rhythm – is shaped around them. The villa is not simply another place to stay in Cape Town; it becomes your home.

While Cape Town’s highlights sit within easy reach – from the V&A Waterfront and Camps Bay to Boulders Beach and cultural landmarks – Villa One has a way of gently convincing you to stay put. Move between sunlit terraces, the infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy access to Ellerman House’s spa facilities, with gym, sauna, steam room and sensation shower. A private chef prepares menus, meals and snacks tailored to your pace and preferences. Should you wish to venture out, chauffeured transfers, curated art tours, wine tastings or even complimentary Zeitz MOCAA visits are seamlessly arranged.

En-suite bedrooms are arranged across the villa’s three levels. Interiors open generously to the outdoors, with floor-to-ceiling glass, multiple lounges, a study, a reading room and expansive entertaining areas that invite both togetherness and retreat. Children of all ages are welcome, practicalities are quietly covered – from laundry to high-speed Wi-Fi and secure parking – and thoughtful touches like shoe cleaning, snack packs and round-the-clock support ensure nothing interrupts your rhythm.
