The iconic Ellerman house in South Africa has revealed its noes look- a contemporary chic decor using a color palette inspired by the ocean and lush green gardens surrounding the properties.

The oceanfront hotel is made up of 11 bedrooms, 2 suites and 2 luxury villas, all boosting their own design and style. Formerly the home of shipping magnate Sir John Ellerman, the property features one of South Africa’s most impressive art galleries with over 1,000 curated pieces.

Recognized globally as one of the most exclusive small hotels in the world, Ellerman House strives to share the local excellence and diversity of South African architecture, art, design, food and wine with its discerning guests. The property’s extensive, terraced gardens were recently replanted exclusively with indigenous plants and shrubs sourced directly from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. The property boasts one of the largest collections of South African art with acclaimed work from the turn of the last century as well as a growing collection of contemporary art. In a similar way, the Wine Gallery aims to bring to life South Africa’s 350-year old heritage of winemaking, providing an environment for tasting and learning about local wines as intriguing and inspiring as the wine itself.
