High tea

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 10 hours ago

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.

Most amazing lunch at the Fountain Restaurant

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.

I had the most beautiful afternoon tea experience at Mount Nelson. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant, warm, and thoughtfully prepared. The setting is absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere made the whole afternoon feel special and indulgent. A special thank you to Emma, who served us so graciously. Her attention to detail, kindness, and warm personality truly elevated the experience. She made us feel so welcome and ensured everything was perfect throughout our visit. The tea selection, delicate pastries, and freshly prepared treats were exceptional — every bite was a delight. It was one of those experiences where you slow down, enjoy the moment, and appreciate the beauty around you. Thank you to the Mount Nelson team, and especially Emma, for making our afternoon tea so memorable. I will definitely be back.

Brilliant experience all-round at the Fountain

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

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.
