A full range of beverages, not least a bottle from Ellerman’s own wine cellar, is available from the well-stocked bar. Tastings are offered every afternoon, and you can also have fun browsing the gallery of South African art. You can pop to the pantry too, to pick up a homemade snack or two in between meals. Fitness fans can head to the gym for a thorough work-out, while anyone in need of a little pampering can visit the soothing spa. The hotel’s gardens provide a serene setting for relaxing in between activities, and the heated lap pool is perfect for a quick dip or a few lengths as part of your exercise regime!
