Situated in the centre of the resort and under a magnificent and enormous chandelier is Vista. As its name suggests, it offers incredible panoramic views of Table Mountain through its floor-to-ceiling wall of glass. Open all day, Vista Lounge serves snacks and canapes, but is most famous for the decadent Morning and Afternoon Tea selections. Later in the day, Vista transforms into a trendy and sophisticated wine and cocktail bar/lounge, with our expert mixologists delighting guests with unique concoctions using local flavours where possible.

    Excellent service, celebrated a family members 40th birthday with a high tea. I wish the buffet service was in place as it was pre pandemic.

    Loved the setting, but there was a lot of confusion around our booking, which had been pre-paid. Had to explain this a few times for the High Tea. Some of the items on the sweet and savory offerings, were not nice.

    There were only two issues: 1) We asked for one vegetarian, but they did not provide a vegetarian one. Thankfully Pearl Olivier stepped in and arranged vegetarian savouries. 2) We found a piece of plastic in the apple dessert, which once again Pearl Olivier handled brilliantly. All round great experience.

    The high tea is top class, with a wide selection of sweet and savory. Would highly recommend

    Venue and service with Elton was good but the cakes were stale and not worth the amount paid - disappointing

    Steak and cauliflower dishes were cold, not sure if that’s meant to be served like that. High tea is on the menu but you have to book it, so doesn’t make sense. Waitress was a little bit overbearing. I didn’t know that the menu changed, should’ve checked as I went specifically for certain meals. New menu major let down. Piano music the ultimate best!
