Situated in the premier suburb of Bantry Bay in Cape Town, The Ellerman House is a beautiful hotel offering a classic location for fine coastal living. With devoted preservation of historical architecture and a private collection of the finest, original South African art, The Ellerman House reflects an ambiance experienced only in the comfort and familiarity of a fine home. Ellerman's fantastic location is very central – just a five minute drive from either downtown Cape Town or the swanky beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton.

The first rate safari accommodation at Singita Boulders Lodge is simple and elegant yet probably the most luxurious in all of southern Africa. The lodge's service and facilities are second to none.

North Island epitomizes barefoot luxury through impeccable service and handmade designer villas located right on a luxuriously pristine beach.

At your Cape Town hotel, exquisite meals created by acclaimed international chefs are displayed to perfection on china, silver and crystal. Ellerman House has one of the finest collections of vintage wines in South Africa; each individually selected by a master sommelier to enhance our guest's experience. Around the city, a cosmopolitan scene takes you anywhere from fine French dining to a laid-back bistro overlooking a working harbor. The most popular restaurants amongst the locals have a young and contemporary appeal, offering a remarkable fusion of continental dishes infused with locally–inspired flavors and ingredients.

South Africa is a country of cosmopolitan influences, inspiring the unique culinary experience at Singita Boulders Lodge. Singita's cuisine combines simplicity with an abundance of flavor from traditional African ingredients. Wholesome produce is accompanied by truly inspirational surroundings. Complementing the exceptional cuisine, each Singita lodge has a unique bush wine cellar, currently consisting of approximately 35,000 bottles of the finest South African wine – each vintage cellared for up to half a decade, to ensure full potential.

The North Island cuisine is based on all the cultural diversity and influences of the Creole flavor, combining culinary aspects of Seychelles, France and southern Indian spices with the organic produce of North Island and abundant natural resources on offer from the Indian Ocean. Balanced in simplicity, at North Island you expect a feast that will awaken all of your senses. The ‘no menu’ concept on North Island offers a customized dining experience. Chef David Godin speaks to each guest to discover personal preferences, favorites and dietary requirements, and then develops his menus daily around this information. Complimented by a cellar with some of the world's great wines and champagnes – one can expect renowned South African favorites from Hamilton Russel; or International award-winners from Robert Mondavi and Penfolds. Beach picnics are also offered.

Adventurous at day and romantic by night is the West Coast lifestyle offered by Cape Town. You can tailor your time in Cape Town to be chauffeured around the peninsula to witness breathtaking coastal and mountain scenery, or drive up to Cape Point for some hiking and spectacular scenery. Table Mountain is a fantastic visit every visitor should opt for, if the weather is fair, to take in gorgeous city and coastline views. Robben Island is an interesting visit for history buffs and those who wish a glimpse at South Africa's past. The wine country, just 45 minutes away, is another delightful drive through pretty villages located in the mountains. Restaurants throughout Cape Town and the winelands are another highlight of your trip – our exclusive insider's guide offered on booking your trip gives you a local VIP perspective on all things Cape Town. Also on hand is your Into Seychelles personal consultant, offering unmatched knowledge and expertise to tailor the trip of your dreams.

The Sabi Sands are world renowned for huge diversity and concentration of big game. Large herds of elephant and buffalo, great prides of lion, excellent leopard viewing and antelope by the thousands, make the 18 500 hectare Singita Private Game Reserve, based at the heart of the Sabi Sand, one of Africa's finest locations for viewing the Big 5 and among the most private and unspoiled wilderness experiences anywhere in the world.

North Island offers our guests a rare piece of tropical island paradise with a private beach experience and service tailored to suit your needs and preferred lifestyle. Recreational activities offered at North Island are designed to enjoy the Island and its natural magic, some offering complete freedom to move around North Island at your own pace, either on foot, mountain bike or Island Buggy. Two exhilarating scuba dives per day are offered to guests at no additional cost. Fly fishing from shore or through boat charter is a delight for avid fishermen. North Island–s Sunset cruise is a romantic excursion around North Island and Silhouette Island offering beautiful views of both islands from the sea. North also has good snorkeling around the island, masks and fins are provided. Kayaking is another delightful activity available from the dive center. Depending on the time of year, guests may be lucky enough to witness the Hawksbill and Green turtles laying their eggs on the eastern and western beaches of North Island. Guests are also able to explore the Island by hiking the granite outcrop and crossing the saddle linking the eastern and western plateau, to witness exceptional sea views.

The Ellerman House is perhaps the most exclusive and greatest of all luxury hotels in Africa, yet it remains a secret hideaway. The service is uniquely distinctive and the class of experience offered is unmatched by any in Cape Town, surpassing every other hotel in quality consistency, exclusivity of location, excellence in service and standard of luxury. Over the years, while Cape Town has gained popularity and its hotels unstably change hands and ownership, The Ellerman House has dependably remained a fine luxury home, blossoming under the care and devotion of its original owners. Many gracious living rooms flow onto sweeping verandas and patios offering unsurpassed views across the Atlantic Ocean to Robben Island – a privileged pleasure also enjoyed from the private balconies of the eleven suites in the House. Relaxation is also found in the stately library, where guests can browse the collection of antique, rare and new volumes from the Owners' own private collection. The Ellerman House is one of only two Relais & Chateaux hotels in Cape Town and one of only 14 Purple shield-status hotels in the world. The Ellerman Spa offers color-therapy steam bath, sauna, infinity pool and opulent massage treatments before or after a night in town.

The spacious 'stand alone' suites at Singita Boulders feature luxurious bedrooms, lounge areas and bathrooms, all offering views of the African bush and savannah through floor to ceiling glass walls. Meditative, elegant and comfortable, time spent on your personal game viewing deck or in your private plunge pool at Singita Boulders Lodge will leave you captivated with the wilderness beyond. Local Senufo art deco and bold sculptures offset smooth linen in blue and silent white, as cascading water cools the safari air. Resting on the banks of the Sand River in the heart of the Singita Private Game Reserve, Singita Boulders Lodge opens the senses to views that stretch to the edge of the imagination.

All villas at North Island were individually handcrafted by Seychellois and African craftsmen on the Island itself. Each of North Island's villas measure 4,890 square feet; the optimal size to allow a feeling of exclusivity and solitude to enjoy a unique private island experience. The design concept ensures that the Villas would bring a sense of freedom and space, offering a sanctuary in which to free the mind and refresh the spirit.

The great expanse of private living space offered in the vastly open–to–seaview villas invite the breathtaking nature into the light interiors, where fresh tropical breeze flows freely. Each North Island Villa has two bedrooms: a main Master bedroom and a Second bedroom to accommodate children or use as a study. The principle materials used in construction were wood, local stone, glass and thatched roof, all combined to form a warm and inviting space that offers guests that rare opportunity of complete relaxation and solitude. The Villas are totally self-contained so guests can opt to have the chef prepare a meal for them in the privacy of their villa – if they so choose. All villas are raised over a meter off the ground to catch the cooling island breezes. The luxuriously appointed Master bedroom with dressing room opens onto a large en-suite bathroom with a romantic marble bath and two showers: one indoor and one outdoors on your private deck. The bedrooms are air-conditioned and also have overhead far-eastern ‘punkah’ fans. The fully retractable glass doors slide open to allow uninterrupted views onto the lawn and turquoise seas beyond. A satellite television, a DVD/CD system (with surround sound speakers also fitted in the outdoor deck area for those sunset swims to the sound of Mozart) and Internet access are offered in the room. A private plunge pool and sala are the finishing touches to your private sanctuary.
