Had a lovely afternoon tea for my birthday. Our waitress Thuli was very attentive and everything was delicious.

I had a wonderful afternoon tea experience at the Mount Nelson. The setting was beautiful, elegant and relaxing, and the afternoon tea itself was absolutely delightful. A special mention must go to Thuli, our waitress, who was warm, attentive and professional throughout our visit. She made us feel very welcome and went out of her way to ensure that everything was perfect. Thank you to Thule and the team for such a lovely experience. It was a truly special afternoon, and I would happily return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful high tea experience. Took our daughters and everyone had a lovely time. So many tea choices and the sandwiches, scones, and desserts were impeccable. The service from Thuli was successful.

Overall, a wonderful experience. I stayed in the Lord Nelson Suite. The attention to detail and room offerings were remarkable. The bed was very comfortable. The house made chocolates are delicious and almost too beautiful to eat.
