Ellerman House Rooms & Suites
Ellerman House sells five main-house categories and four villa rate configurations. The manor inventory is one Classic House Room, one Superior House Room, two Deluxe Spa Rooms, seven Deluxe House Rooms and two Ellerman House Suites. Classic and Deluxe Spa explicitly have no ocean view despite a homepage statement that each manor room overlooks the ocean. The main-house age boundary also conflicts: the FAQ says guests aged 12 and older, while the terms say children over 12. Villa One can be booked with three bedrooms, with five bedrooms by adding the two Deluxe Spa Rooms, or with those five bedrooms plus exclusive spa use. Villa Two has three bedrooms. Only Villa One has a published lift statement; no broader step-free or accessible-room claim is made.

Before you book a room
- Classic and Deluxe Spa cards explicitly say no ocean view, conflicting with the homepage statement that every manor room has uninterrupted ocean views.
- Main-house eligibility is unresolved at the age-12 boundary: the FAQ says guests aged 12 and older, while the terms say children over 12.
- The Deluxe Spa card alternates between shared-deck and private-sun-deck wording, while the index calls the shared balcony water-facing.
- Villa One has three-bedroom, five-bedroom and five-bedroom-with-exclusive-spa rate options; exclusive spa use is not part of every Villa One booking.
- Villa One's lift is confirmed in an official hotel article. No general accessibility statement, designated accessible room or Villa Two lift is published.
- Villa One accepts children of all ages, while Villa Two accepts children over eight.
- Maximum occupancy is not published for any individual main-house category or for the three-bedroom Villa One option.
Category 1
Classic House Room
The single 30-square-metre entry category has a king or twin arrangement, seating area, bath and separate shower, air conditioning and underfloor heating. Its own card explicitly says there is no ocean view and gives no private terrace, pool or maximum occupancy. That directly conflicts with the homepage claim that every manor room has uninterrupted ocean views. Main-house guidance also conflicts between guests aged 12 and older and children over 12, so the exact age boundary needs written confirmation.
Category 2
Superior House Room
The single 30-square-metre Superior room has a king bed, ocean view, bay-window seat, walk-in shower, air conditioning and underfloor heating. The category card explicitly says it has no private terrace and lists no private pool or maximum occupancy. It is the sea-facing choice at the same published size as Classic. The main-house age rule remains unresolved between 12 and older in the FAQ and over 12 in the terms.
Category 3
Deluxe Spa Room
Two 37-square-metre king rooms occupy the spa precinct on the ground floor of Villa One. The individual card says no ocean view, tropical-garden surroundings and a shared swimming pool; it alternates between a shared deck and pool area and a private sun deck. The house index instead says the shared balcony faces the water. No maximum occupancy is published. These rooms may be added to Villa One, and the manor age boundary conflicts between 12 and older and over 12.
Category 4
Deluxe House Room
Seven 44-square-metre king rooms add a private ocean-facing terrace with Atlantic and garden views, plus a bath and shower, air conditioning and underfloor heating. The card does not list a private pool or maximum occupancy. This is the larger terrace category rather than the 30-square-metre Superior room. Main-house sources disagree whether age 12 qualifies, using both aged 12 and older and children over 12.
Category 5
Ellerman House Suite
Two 102-square-metre suites have a king bed, separate lounge and dining room, expansive private terrace and ocean views. Their residential layout and scale distinguish them from the four room categories, but the card publishes neither a private pool nor maximum occupancy. The conflicting main-house child wording still applies: the FAQ says age 12 and older, while the terms say over 12.
Category 6
Villa One — Three Bedrooms
The three-bedroom configuration occupies a 696-square-metre villa over three levels, with three en-suite bedrooms, a private infinity pool, ocean views, kitchen, lounges, dining room, study and reading room. Two upper bedrooms face the Atlantic and the third faces the Twelve Apostles. A private chef and villa team are included. An official hotel article says a lift serves all three levels. The terms accept children of all ages. The current card does not state a separate maximum occupancy for this configuration.
Category 7
Villa One — Five Bedrooms
The five-bedroom configuration uses the same 696-square-metre, three-level Villa One and incorporates the two Deluxe Spa Rooms into its original three-bedroom layout. It has five en-suite bedrooms for up to ten guests, flexible king or twin arrangements, a private infinity pool, ocean views, kitchen, lounges, dining room, study and reading room, plus a private chef and villa team. An official hotel article confirms a lift across the three levels, and the terms accept children of all ages.
Category 8
Villa One — Five Bedrooms with Exclusive Spa Use
This separate sellable option retains Villa One's 696-square-metre five-bedroom layout for up to ten guests and adds exclusive use of the spa. The villa includes its private infinity pool, ocean views, kitchen, lounges, dining room, study and reading room, with a private chef and villa team. The official lift statement and all-ages child rule apply. Exclusive spa use belongs to this specific rate option and should not be inferred for the ordinary five-bedroom configuration.
Category 9
Villa Two — Three Bedrooms
Villa Two is a 432-square-metre, two-level exclusive-use villa with three en-suite bedrooms for six guests. Every bedroom has a private balcony and ocean view; shared spaces include a private infinity pool, social kitchen, cinema and study area, supported by a private chef and villa team. The terms accept children over eight. The hotel publishes no lift, step-free or wider accessibility claim for Villa Two, so mobility needs require a route assessment before booking.
