"On a hillside below the Lions Head, in the exclusive Bantry Bay area, this is the most elegant historic boutique hotel in Cape Town. Before it, the shimmering Atlantic stretches to the horizon. Below it, waves crash on to giant boulders that line the city’s sandy beach coves. And within its 1.5-acre gardens, fringed with fragrant local fynbos and verdant with lawns, rises the blush-pink grand dame, fronted by wide, shady Edwardian verandas and holding one of the finest private art collections in South Africa. With just 11 rooms, two suites and two villas, it feels more like an exclusive private club than a hotel: a grand manor characterized by sumptuous furnishings and attentive staff, but imbued with a homely relaxed feel. Some guests flock to the city just to stay here: to read on loungers under smart striped umbrellas on the terraced lawns, to sip fine wines at the daily tastings at sunset or in the well-stocked cellar; to have massages in the little spa; and tan and lie by the pool between very fine meals. It’s been home to guests from Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates to the celebrated local musician Johnny Clegg, who played his final show in its ROC bar. The backstory Originally called Florida House, and built in 1906, it was then named after the shipping magnate Sir John Ellerman, who purchased it on a lofty vantage point so he could watch fleets coming into Cape Town’s harbour. It’s a house designed for elegant entertaining. From the imposing wooden front doors that open out into an art-hung hallway furnished with antiques, down a grand stairway, into spacious, sun-filled drawing rooms, its spaces ooze the elegance of an era in which women swished about in silk and blokes puffed on cigars. The building’s interiors might have been modernized along with, thankfully, the plumbing, electrics and technology but it still retains the aura of a place that understands gracious living. Its owner, Paul Harris, one of the co-founders of the Rand Bank empire, who had admired it from over the road until it came up for auction in 1988, wanted to keep the feeling of a private house not only because he understood the security and privacy needs of people like him (alongside Hollywood stars and royalty) but he needed a home for his extensive art collection. Today, it is adorned with more than 1,000 pieces, from paintings depicting early settler life by Thomas Bowler, JH Piernieff and Cathcart William Methven in the living rooms, and portraits from great 20th-century painters in the bedrooms to contemporary works by Beezy Bailey, William Kentridge and Lionel Smit in the adjoining gallery. Over years, he’s added two private villas (one five-bedroomed, the other three-bedroomed) adjoining the spa, so children (not permitted in the main hotel) can enjoy their private pools and living spaces. Plus, he dug an impressive cellar, walled in granite from Champagne and featuring a giant corkscrew-like modern sculpture, to house over 9,000 of some of the country’s finest bottles, from rare Dom Pérignon to Cape brandies and dessert wines. The rooms Each of the 11 rooms and two suites is individually decorated, some in bold blues and whites, to reflect the ocean beyond, with elegant colonial-style furnishings that mirror the origins of its founding English owners. Others, refurbished this year, are painted in neutral sands and tans, furnished with clean-lined graphic shapes, and sprinkled with contemporary ceramics and artworks, to reflect a more modern face of South African design. The views vary: some have balconies that face seawards, so guests can admire the often spectacular sunset over the silvery ocean; others have windows from which to look back at the imposing face of the mountains behind. All have incredibly comfortable beds, crisp white linen and fluffy white towels, marble finishes in the bathrooms, ample and thoughtfully stocked wardrobes, and tables on which welcoming little touches are left: one day a plate of just-made biscuits, perhaps; another a piece of fudge or nougat; or pieces of ripe seasonal fruits, alongside local juices and wines. Tea-trays come with starched cloths and sparkling pots, alongside fine crockery and silver. It’s not overdone; just done well. The villas, by comparison, are very modern, very clean-lined and flooded with light through extensive glass walls; both have their own kitchen and pool, for guests who want total privacy. The five bedroom (which gets run of the spa) can be transformed into a three-bedroom, if required. The food This isn’t a place that shows off with its cuisine; it just understands the sorts of comforting but healthy food modern guests want, served beneath historic pressed cream ceilings and surrounded by sensational art. Alongside a naughty-but-nice help-yourself complimentary pantry featuring sweet and savory snacks and wraps, alongside coffees, teas and juices; the chefs conjure up perennial favorites, from Cape Malay curry and fresh lobster to formal English-style teas (featuring light-as-air scones and wicked cakes) and faultless breakfast. Home-made granola with passionfruit and yoghurt? No problem. Ditto, orange-yolked boiled eggs and soldiers. Or creamy scrambled eggs with salmon. The orange juice is cold and freshly pressed, the espresso dark and strong, the tea served with a strainer (because proper leaves are used). Because Harris is a wine-lover, the wine list is particularly fine—as is his packed-earth terroir-walled cellar, which has separate, temperature-controlled areas for whites and reds; an interactive multi-media wine library; a brandy-tasting lounge and even a champagne cellar walled in granite from Champagne. The daily sunset wine tastings regularly include interesting, and perhaps less-known but delicious, bottles from around the country. The spa Housed in a contemporary building adjoining the villas, this little glass-fronted spa features fabulously cavernous and airy spaces considering the boutique size of the hotel. Within four individual treatment rooms and a couples' massage room, good therapists offer no-fuss treatments from massages and facials to stretching (which helps jetlag and cramped post-flight bodies). There is also a small gym, sauna and steam room. The city’s most popular beaches, Clifton and Camps Bay, are a short drive away for those prepared to brace the brisk Atlantic waters; yoga teachers can be brought in on demand. The area Bantry Bay is the Beverly Hills of Cape Town, and a favorite spot for international “swallows” who flee the northern-hemisphere winters, and lucky locals, who’ve come to realize that this is one of the most beautiful places on earth to live. Drive one way and you’re in the city and Waterfront in ten minutes; the other and you’re near a range of popular, casual restaurants and bars. The concierge can arrange trips from helicopter flits over the Cape to wine tastings in Franschhoek, as well as art tours, shopping guides and cooking lessons. Service Staff go out of their way to be both friendly and helpful, while retaining an air of formality and professionalism. Some have worked here for years, and their dedication shows. The rates generously include buffet breakfast, airport transfers, drinks (excluding wine), wine tastings, sunset cocktails, art tours, laundry and shoe cleaning. A 24-hour pantry stocked with fresh fruit, baked goods and beverages is also free for guests to help themselves. Eco effort The House has installed low-flow taps to save water, installed 1,500 energy-efficient and motion-sensor activated LED lights, which use 80 per cent less electricity than the previous system, eliminated single-use plastics and introduced biodegradable alternatives for items like bin liners and kitchen cling wrap. As well as sourcing ingredients locally it sources fish through the South African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) and partners with Abalobi to support local fishing communities and ensure traceability. It has a hybrid BMW 745Le xDrive for guest transportation. Although the grounds require a lot of water—as do the pools and spa—the garden is planted with drought-resistant plants. Ingredients for food are locally sourced and seasonal, and wines proudly South African (other than French champagne). Accessibility The hotel is not wheelchair-accessible and there are numerous stairs around the property. Family The hotel accepts only children who are over 12—although Villa One accepts all ages and Villa Two over-eights. There's a five-night minimum stay over Christmas, and a three-night minimum stay between mid-January and the end of February. Pets are not permitted."
