How many treatment rooms are there?

The current experience page and spa menu list three single treatment rooms and one double room or couples suite.

Does the spa have a steam room?

Current sources list a sauna, polar plunge and sensation shower without a steam room. An older live official article lists a steam room, so confirm directly.

Are spa facilities included with accommodation?

Spa and gym access are listed among accommodation inclusions, and the wet facilities are complimentary during spa hours. Treatments are extra.

How early should guests arrive for treatment?

Advance booking is essential, and guests are asked to arrive 15 minutes early. Lateness shortens the session while the full charge remains due.

Are swimsuits required in the wet area?

Yes. The spa area is unisex and swimsuits are required. The current menu also says there are no lockers.

Can children or non-residents use the spa?

The current hotel sources publish neither a spa minimum age nor a non-resident eligibility rule. Confirm both before relying on access.

Is the main hotel pool heated?

Older official material describes it as heated, but the current Spaces and FAQ pages do not confirm heating. Treat that feature as unresolved.

Ellerman House Spa & Wellness

Name: Ellerman House
Address: Bantry Bay, South Africa

The Ellerman House Spa occupies the ground floor of Villa One and is approached through the indigenous gardens. The current experience page and November 2025 spa menu list three single treatment rooms and one double room or couples suite, a relaxation area, sauna, polar plunge or cryotherapy pool and sensation shower. Those wet facilities are complimentary during spa hours; the area is unisex and swimsuits are required. The current sources do not list a steam room, while an older still-live official spa article does, creating an unresolved facilities conflict. Treatment hours are Monday–Friday 08:00–19:00 and Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays 10:00–19:00. Advance booking is described as essential, arrival is requested 15 minutes early, and lateness shortens the session while the full charge remains due. Treatments are extra; spa and gym access are included with accommodation.
