Afternoon Tea

Excellent afternoon tea at the Mount Nelson. Nomkitha provided such great service - friendly and chatty and always helpful. Food was great - far more food than we expected with a savoury 3 tier stand to start, scones and loaf cake followed and then the cake stand with 6 cakes each. Then there is a buffet cake table where you can also help yourself. Beautiful setting and overall a great experience.

Amazing Afternoon Tea - Thank you Wiseman

One thing that stood out was the smile on Wiseman's face and incredible service. The tea conisseur came to the table to check in with us and this was a special touch. Beautiful location and well kept grounds. Afternoon tea was incredible paired with the selection of food.
