Reviews for Belmond Mount Nelson
The Ultimate High Tea Experience!
We were visiting from Jamaica and were advised that High Tea in South Africa is a must. We were not disappointed. Our server ( or rather our Dining Guide) Miss Aphiwe, explained everything to us as each course arrived. What a delightful experience! I highly recommend High Tea at Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town, S.A. Worth every penny!

The best birthday experience
The high tea is always exceptional but staff at the planet bar are the sweetest and most attentive on the property.

Thank you
We had a wonderful experience at Mount Nelson and truly enjoyed the high tea. Everything felt cozy and well-prepared, from the tea selection to the delicious pastries and sandwiches. What made our visit especially memorable was the service. Our waitress, Thuli, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional. She made us feel very welcome and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our visit. We really loved the atmosphere, the quality of the tea, and the excellent service. We will definitely be coming back again! Thank you
