Belmond Mount Nelson

Fantastic afternoon tea. Very extensive offering of sweets and savories, I was so full and happy. Thuli was an amazing server also. Highly recommend the experience!!

Thuli was amazing! Wonderful service, delicious food and the atmosphere is beyond compare

Lovely experience, we were served by Truli who was very polite professional. These are memories that will stay with us forever.

For years, I had wanted to experience the High Tea at this iconic hotel, and overall it was a pleasant afternoon. We were warmly looked after by Anelisa, whose service was friendly and attentive, and the selection of savoury and sweet treats was extensive and beautifully presented. However, I was surprised that we were not offered a choice of tea. Instead, tea was simply served to the table, despite tea being the central element of the experience. It was only during the final course, after I specifically asked, that I was able to choose a tea that suited my preferences. At a five-star hotel, and at a price of R650 per person, I would expect a more personalised approach. Being able to select your tea from the outset seems like a small detail, but it is precisely these details that distinguish a luxury experience from a more mass-market one. Unfortunately, this took away some of the sense of occasion I had been looking forward to for many years. That said, the quality of the food and the service from Anelisa were both excellent.

We had a lovely experience and Thuli was amazing, very friendly and helpful. It was lovely to see Craig again and enjoyed our happy chats. Will definitely be back.
