Ellerman House

A message from Paul Harris (Owner) “This book coincides with the 10th anniversary of the opening of Ellerman House as a hotel. The home was acquired in 1988, and renovated and extended to include 11 rooms. Over the last 10 years it has been our pleasure to be hosts to guests from all over the world. At Ellerman House, we want to share with our guests the best of what South Africa has to offer – the commanding Atlantic Ocean view, the majestic mountains that embrace us, our unique collection of South African paintings and an impressive stock of the country’s very best wines. The hotel overlooks Robben Island, a symbol of our complex past, yet somehow also a reassuring reminder of how far we’ve come as a nation since then...” “...This book will not only remind you of these wonderful experiences, but perhaps allow you to replicate the culinary experience over a bottle of South African wine in the comfort of your own home. Hopefully, if you are a foreign visitor, it will remind you of South Africa, of Cape Town and Ellerman House and make you want to come back. And if you are South African, it will make you feel good about it all over again.”
