Spent 4 amazing nights here and wow!!! If you can afford to, you must stay here! The hotel aesthetic is beautiful! It’s giving English countryside mixed with barbies dream house! I love the theme of pink, every room inside the hotel is perfectly decorated. The rooms, we had a suite, were huge! There was a living room and main bedroom. We had a lovely view of table mountain and you just don’t get sick of the view. The bed was so comfortable, basically every accommodation is made to ensure you have a great stay. The staff were amazing, everyone I dealt with was so pleasant and lovely. The food is fantastic! The breakfast is the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had, complete with absolutely everything you could want. We also did the high tea ( a must do), ate at the red room (fantastic!), purchased from the gift shop (beautifully curated selection of items), used the gym (again the best I’ve used with state of the art new machines, actually had 3 rooms), had a treatment at the spa ( fantastic, make sure you use the sauna), ordered room service, took the free shuttle to the waterfront. Housekeeping were amazing, the turn down service is very comprehensive. We were celebrating our honeymoon and were treated so well, even to a lovely bunch of flowers from the hotel for our stay. I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at the Belmond, you just need to try it! Location is also right near kloof street and is super trendy.

A 3 day stay at the Nellie is not enough!! Every thing about this hotel is geared to make your stay comfortable and unforgettable . Perfectly located for outings, magnificent backdrop and friendly helpful staff. The rooms, gardens and restaurants are all magnificent. To see a beautiful historic building like this keep at this amazing standard and traditions maintained is so impressive. Would highly recommend the high tea, Craig was so knowledgeable and it was pleasure to hear him speak so passionately about the teas. I will definitely be back on my future visits to Capetown.

Outstanding high tea experience, and we've been to some of the best. Superb tea selections, especially the Mount Nelson Tea, and wonderful food. Excellent service from server Nomkitha, and interesting background info from tea sommelier Darryl. Gorgeous setting. Highly recommend.
