Excellent. A pure moment of relaxation and luxury. Afternoon tea is a must! Breakfast is absolutely amazing, and the overall service is outstanding!

We were at Mount Nelson for high tea. The food on offer was excellent. What we liked best was the friendliness of the staff, from the moment we got out of the taxi until we said goodbye. We would particularly like to mention Cheslyn, who looked after us wonderfully. Dear Cheslyn, thank you very much. We would love to come back.

Popped in for the afternoon tea & first of all, the hotel & grounds are stunning. Serene, beautiful, & makes you not want to leave. The attention to detail, from the decor, artwork, down to the beautiful washrooms is well thought out. The highlight of the high tea for me was the desserts & the service. The tea sommelier and my server of the day Andiswa were great. Would definitely come back.

Noon High Tea at Mount Nelson under the steady hand of an excellent tea sommelier and outstanding service from Thuli is not to be missed. The selection of petit sandwhiches and sweets were so very enjoyable, especially the prawns on brioche was delectable. Welcomed with a nice rose champagne followed by a vast assortment of delectable teas. A walk around the captivating grounds capped off a stellar experience! Enjoy yourselves, we certainly did! ☕️

Never have me and my family stayed in a hotel quite like the Mount Nelson! An experience of a lifetime, every staff member go out of their way for you, above and beyond to make your stay in Cape Town the best you will ever have. A true gem! We visited in early July for 5 nights and had a mixed bag of weather and even the rains couldn’t dampen our stay. The doormen greeted us every day with wide grins and greetings and the attention to detail was second to none! Tshepo, Kennedy, Limdile, Olondo, Pootea were so good with our teenage sons, who had the best craic with them every evening. Michael, guest experience manager, was perfection! A true gentleman who really took an interest in us, catering to our needs sublimely. No request was too big. Dylan was always a cheery face around the hotel offering us anything and making sure we felt at home. Luvo, our breakfast server was always on hand to make our mornings perfect. And when I speak about breakfast, I can’t describe the abundance for the first meal of the day. Never have we been met with a breakfast as plentiful as the breakfast here. There is absolutely nothing you won’t find available… NOTHING! I feel every staff deserves a mention and sadly I don’t know all their names. But if I could name them all, I would. An experience of a lifetime, this hotel is really a home away from home. Their greeting at arrival, “welcome home” sums up this hotel in two perfect words. As I write this, we are on our last night here and all I can say is I don’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back “home”.

My husband and I went to the Afternoon Tea and we were absolutely blown away by the amazing experience and the various combinations of food. We had the best waitress, Cheslyn, who served us with excellence and was so kind in making our first visit at the Mount Nelson the absolute best. We will definitely visit again just because of her! Thank you to Craig who ensures you have a tea blend selected just for you. 10/10!

We were so blown away by our time at Mount Nelson. A stunning, antique property with so much history and style. The service from the staff was some of the best I’ve ever experienced anywhere in the world.

Experienced an amazing afternoon tea service at the hotel. The ambience was lovely, the service exceptional and the assortment of treats just divine. Thuli was very attentive, friendly and helped make the entire experience a memorable one. Craig's knowledge of the different teas and recommendations for pairing was fantastic. Definitely a must do when in Cape Town.

I had a couple of incredible tennis lessons with Barkie at the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town. Barkie is not only charming but also highly knowledgeable, with a wealth of experience and fascinating stories about meeting some of the sport’s greats. His clear instruction and personalised tips made the session enjoyable and productive. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Barkie’s passion for tennis and engaging teaching style will leave you inspired. Highly recommended!
