Why Visit Cape Town?
Cape Town is the playground of leisure-lovers, adventurers and jetsetters alike. Famed for its flat-topped mountain (voted one of the New7Wonders of Nature, no less!), white sandy beaches, bountiful vineyards, waddling penguins and a bustling waterfront, it’s not hard to see why our Mother City repeatedly ranks among the best cities in the world.
Visitors can enjoy the scenic Chapman's Peak Drive as it hugs the Atlantic Coast, before eventually reaching the fishing village of Hout Bay. The turquoise waves wash onto the palm-fringed beaches in Clifton and Camps Bay, the city’s own “French Riviera”, while granite boulders divide Clifton into four coves, drawing sun worshippers and beach bums alike.
The waters are chilly but the swells are strong, attracting surfers, kite surfers and bodyboarders in droves. Boulders Beach, in Simon's Town, protects over 3,000 penguins and is a must-visit attraction. Another of which is a boat trip from the V&A Waterfront to Robben Island where struggle stalwart and hero, Nelson Mandela, was imprisoned. Whether it’s the brightly coloured beach huts littering Muizenberg, exclusive hotels, the Victorian-style restorations of Sea Point & Green Point or the thrumming pubs and clubs of the City Bowl, Cape Town is a city bursting with excitement, allure and intrigue.

Ellerman House
Property Of the Month
An exclusive haven tucked quietly within one of Cape Town's most exclusive suburbs, Ellerman House gives new meaning to the term, "home-away-from-home". Imagine waking up to extraordinary luxury, on a property with unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean and Robben Island, where no convenience is spared. This boutique hotel could compete with the finest in the world, thanks in part to its private cellar (with over 7,500 wines) and an equally impressive art collection.
This Relais & Châteaux property is made up of the main house and two free-standing Villas. Though no room is the same, each one shares a sophisticated elegance. The main house ranges from the Classic House Room to the generous Ellerman House Suites while Villa One and Two create the privacy and intimacy required for small gatherings of friends and family.
