    We were served by Nomkhitha. She is a lovely person, funny, very patient. Excellent service and made my birthday special. We will definitely be back!

    Wonderful as always! Very glad the foie gras is off the menu! The menu this time was absolutely wonderful and we were glad to see more of a selection for the buffet. Only thing that we were not a fan of is the new art....it's very incongruent with the general era and theme of the hotel....historical period artwork would be much better! The Chai spritzer was a lovely touch and very delightful! Thank you for a lovely afternoon tea - see you again soon!!

    I could not have enjoyed this experience more. The service was wonderful. Staff were open and friendly and so welcoming. The food was lovely but the entire experience was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

    I rarely leave comments or give feedback, but I really wanted to take some time to send this! I booked afternoon tea for my mom and I, and we were joined by my chocolate Labrador Rusty. We had the BEST afternoon! The staff were amazing, professional and discreet. The setting and ambience was just stunning and I felt like I was in a 1920's movie scene! The food was fantastic, bubbles delicious and Rusty sends a special thank you to the chef for his delicious meals :-) The tea sommelier was a lovely touch and we learnt something new! Thank you Mount Nelson!! Janice, Brenda and Rusty
