Although Ellerman House is a city hotel, the nature of Cape Town, especially Bantry Bay, is never far away. Located at the foot of Lion's Head and along the ocean, it is of great importance to preserve the natural heritage. Ellerman House values giving back to the world and, in particular, to the local community.

The hotel is dedicated to supporting education as part of its corporate social responsibility program. Click Learning, a non-profit educational initiative founded by the Harris family, offers online literacy and math programs to underprivileged primary schools across the country. Additionally, the hotel supports the local artistic community through auctions and charity events.

Sustainability is at the core of all aspects of the hotel. For example, the restaurant exclusively serves 'green' seafood, which is the most sustainable choice for fish. Executive Chef Kieran Whyte is a strong advocate for sustainability in the kitchen and is passionate about promoting it.

Ellerman House aims to preserve indigenous plants and trees in its beautiful gardens and strives to reduce water consumption by 40%.
