“You need to reflect the feel of a place, my recipes are not transferable, I always ask myself whether I can create ingredients better in-house first, rather than buy it in. Usually we do better ourselves.”

“Spending a day at Ellerman House is an experience on it’s own. The Spa is one of the favourite spaces where guests relax and unwind after a long flight or a tour in Cape Town. Guests are invited to stroll through the indigenous garden and breath in the fresh ocean air. Dine on some of the finest cuisine on either one of our three terraces all overlooking the magnificent Atlantic Ocean.”

Each year, Ellerman House organises an event to raise money for the Click Foundation, an organisation that strives to promote literacy in response to the education crisis in South Africa.

The aim of the Click Foundation is to experiment with innovative learning solutions based on new technology. Convinced that children's low proficiency in English is a learning obstacle at all levels of education, the Click Foundation has developed, among other initiatives, an online introduction to English program. The programs implemented have helped over 10,000 students. To support this foundation, Ellerman House organizes the annual ArtAngels, a charity celebration which includes an auction of pieces donated by South African artists. The money raised is put toward equipping schools and developing new programs.
