The hotel was amazingly located with grand decor in an old school sort of vibe. The grounds had beautiful gardens, and the rooms were well appointed.The staff was amazing and well trained in all levels of staffing. The place was immaculate, and the rooms were well maintained as were the common areas. The bar in the small dish eating there was wonderful. The dessert Baker was amazing creating masterpieces. The assistant manager VuVu was excellent at her job.

High Tea with the family is a 5 star experience. Location, food, atmosphere ( loved the piano live music) all is perfect and we were hosted by Andiswa what is an added extra 5 star 🙂.

What a wonderful experience at the Mount Nelson High Tea. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles, seated promptly, and served immediately. Each course was thoughtfully explained, and the selection of unlimited teas was exceptional. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance was elegant and relaxing. A special thank you to Aphiwe for making our visit so memorable—you were absolutely wonderful. We look forward to returning!
