Reviews for Belmond Mount Nelson
Home away from home
You will never believe that you are in a city behind these walls! A true oasis in every space. Nawaal at the planet bar is always making sure I feel at home. Best Martini in the country. The food is unbelievable and Chef Luke has an amazing menu in every corner. As a local it is the best place in town. Management has no problem pulling up their sleeves to help at any time. Best breakfast at any 5 star hotel in the world I have been to. I cannot love this place anymore than I do

Mount Nelson pool
From South Africa and Germany we had the best time, Simlindile gave us the best service. He made great recommendations and we will highly recommend a day at the pool.

Amazing, must do, fine experience!
We had Thuli as our server and she was absolutely phenomenal from beginning to end. She explained everything to us in extreme detail and made sure we were satisfied with everything that was brought to us. Thuli is an excellent professional who has amazing attention to detail. She made this an extremely memorable experience along with the rest of the Mount Nelson tea room staff. This was one of the highlights of our trip!

What a lovely afternoon tea.
What an amazing experience. This is my third time enjoying afternoon tea at the Mount Nelson and it is even better than before. Thabisa was a real gem who was so friendly and professional. The tea sommelier was also amazing and gave great advice. We hope to be back again soon.

Lovely Afternoon High Tea for mothers 60th birthday
Had an amazing afternoon high tea here — truly unforgettable from start to finish. The ambiance was calm, elegant, and perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The live pianist added a beautiful touch to the atmosphere and made the experience feel even more special. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with a great balance of sweet and savoury treats. The drinks were just as impressive, from fragrant teas to perfectly made coffees and refreshing juices. Our waiter, Thabisa was friendly and attentive, and both the pianist and the waiter made my mothers birthday extra special by singing for her and even giving her a thoughtful gift. It was such a heartwarming gesture that made the day unforgettable. Highly recommended — I can’t wait to return!
