I had one of the best experiences of my life. The atmosphere was a dream and Emma helped out a lot, and made the experience 10x better. I wish every one could experience this at least once in their life.

Gorgeous location and the tea room at the Mount Nelson is beautiful. The atmosphere is perfect - lavish, refined and very gentile. The afternoon tea is sumptuous and Thuli was a fabulous tea waitress.
