    Our afternoon tea at the Mount Nelson was superb from the moment we arrived I would like to make a special mention to Precious who assisted us from our first contact prior to our visit and then greeted us with a tour of the gardens before delivering us for our afternoon tea. Precious was a delight, helpful, friendly and funny, a true asset to your wonderful establishment
