I had the pleasure of enjoying high tea at the beautiful Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The setting is absolutely stunning and the selection of teas, sandwiches, and sweet treats was impressive. A special thank you to Emma, who served us during our visit. She was excellent—attentive, warm, and very knowledgeable about the tea selection and menu. Her service truly elevated the whole experience and made us feel very welcome. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious, and the atmosphere made it such a relaxing and memorable afternoon. I would definitely recommend the high tea experience and look forward to visiting again.

Had the most amazing time at the Mount Nelson’s, Fountain Restaurant. Everything was prepared with such elegance. The food was unbelievable and so much attention to detail had gone into it. The service was exceptional, I really cannot fault it. Thank you so much to the team at the Fountain restaurant and a very big thanks to Luke for preparing such an amazing lunch for us.

We went to The Fountain restaurant at the Mount Nelson with a couple of friends for a boozy lunch in the sunshine. It was fantastic! The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, the surroundings were lush and beautiful, and the energy was just so good. It couldn’t have been a better day - thank you to Chef Luke and the staff at the Mount Nelson for taking such good care of us.
