On the 28th January, me, my husband and sister came to celebrate my 60th Birthday in your restaurant. I would like to thank all staff for making the evening so lovely. From the champagne bar to the dining it was a wonderful evening with great service from everyone, especially our waiter who was so efficient and kind.  Would you please thank everyone concerned. G Harding, January 2008

Thank you to everyone at the Mount Nelson for giving us a wonderful stay. We were particularly pleased with the help that we were given once three of our party had to stay for an extra night once. We also particularly appreciated of the upgrades that we received to suites. The Mount Nelson really is a beautiful hotel, significantly helped by the helpfulness and efficiency of all the staff that we came across.J Anthony West, October 2007

We have not stopped talking about our memorable trip to your stunning country. The Mount Nelson was the last stop on our journey and what a pleasurable experience it proved to be. The setting, the accommodation and the cuisine were immensely enjoyable, but what also made it so special was your staff.Sandy Moody, October 2007



We have just arrived home after spending 11 nights at the Mount Nelson Hotel. The concierge were second to none and couldn't do enough to help even coming out to wave us goodbye. The staff in the Oasis Restaraunt were all very freindly and courteous getting to know our likes and dislikes.  Hopefully we will return to Cape Town and if we do, then we know where we will be staying.Mr & Mrs Billington, September 2007

“You guys are a ‘Class Act’!” We were not really prepared for the immensity of the physical beauty of Cape Town, the Cape peninsula and its various bays, and the “wine country,” especially Franschhoek.  In a lot of ways, San Francisco and Cape Town share the same kind of “Look” and “Feel,” but Cape Town is cleaner, and its adjacent wine country is more scenic than Napa Valley.  We felt as though your fine hotel was one of the Great Hotels of the world.

I would just like to thank you and your staff for your kind assistance during our stay at the Mount Nelson Hotel.  Our Delegations were also very impressed with your hospitality and friendliness during their stay.  Your staff and went out of their way to make everything possible and you have bent backwards for us to accommodate all our needs.

We spent 4 nights at your hotel celebrating my 50th birthday and were very fortunate to be upgraded to the most beautiful rooms in one of your Garden Cottages. Not only the luxury accommodation but also the ambience of the Mount Nelson made it a very special occasion. We celebrated my birthday with 10 guests in the Colony Restaurant with dinner which was of outstanding quality, compliments to the chef.

My husband and I were recently in Cape Town and had the pleasure of staying at the Mount Nelson for two nights March 9 and 10.We had a beautiful room with a view of Table Mountain. I can see now the beauty in staying at the Mount Nelson.  The gardens are a wonderful escape in the heart of the city and it is amazing to have the luxury of the beautiful grounds and rolling grass. You certainly have an oasis and I am  now confident in recommending this grand hotel to my clients. Christine Kennedy, Valerie Wilson Travel, March 07

Thank you for making our wedding on the 6 January the most memorable and special day that we will remember for ever.  I could not fault one bit of the day, it was out of this world. All my guests couldn't stop telling us what a wonderful hotel it is and how "Hollywood" picture perfect day it was!!!!!  We will be back in the near future to enjoy the Hotel even more. Elton and Cindy, January 07


In coming to Cape Town for the first time, we didn't know what to expect. It was better than we could have imagined, you have a beautiful country, your staff and residents are so proud of what you have. I was impressed with the level of attention and service at the hotel, better than other similar quality hotels. Mr Richard Dewsberry, January 07


We attended your Ballroom for Chritsmas Day lunch and would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the wonderful time we had. The service provided by our waitress was absolutely first class. Nothing was too much trouble for her and everything was carried out with a smile. The service coupled with the delicious food made for a very enjoyable afternoon.
 Mr Philip Turvey, December 06


Our conference was a huge success thanks to you. I continuously had the following said to me; “Please let me help you with this, let me move this for you, what else can I assist with, let me do that for you etc.” On of my staff members arrived with a car full of stuff and your staff was right there to help carry. Everything was pointed out to me without me having to ask. People introduced themselves and told me to contact them if I needed anything else. You guys are very fortunate to have such wonderful caring people work for you and I mean this sincerely. 
Eleanor Kuhn, BLP Merchandising Solutions, November 06

My return to my truly beloved Mount Nelson has been very special indeed. My warmest thanks for your hospitality and the real warmth of your staff. Frederick Poe- Poe Travel, USA

Your staff truly proved why the Mount Nelson is THE superior property in South Africa.  Our first night we enjoyed an outstanding meal at Cape Colony.  The team was top notch and the food was amazing.  We also received excellent advice from your concierge team as they crafted one of our entire days of sightseeing. Your team could not have been more perfect in the way they care for your guests. We will never forget the way we were treated at the Mount Nelson, and we will tell everyone we know about our experience. Analia and Brian McGuire, USA

We had the pleasure to spend a few days at the Mount Nelson, and we would like to let you know how much we appreciated this stay.

The staff were very friendly. I would like to emphasize the contribution of the staff at the travel desk who were efficient and organized our visit of the peninsula. We were fortunate to have a fantastic driver as well as a talented teacher, M. Iqshaan Jacobs through whom we learned a lot about your beautiful province.

We have been overwhelmed by the “warm and efficient service” we have received at the Mount Nelson. Everything ran so smoothly and the food was superb. We’ve been in Athens and Brazil with the same conference over the last two weeks and the Mount Nelson has “topped them all”!  Shirley Bassett and Tammye Cockburn - UCB meeting

We would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for your very kind and generous donation and support, which contributed to the tremendous success of our “Mannequin Ball” and Auction held at the Mount Nelson Hotel on Saturday, 3rd June 2006. Tonya Hester - Paediatric HIV Foundation

The evening was a huge success with funds of R252 025.28 in total (after expenses) raised on the night, which would ensure the continued care of the children under the Foundations umbrella.

I just wanted to let you know that my in-laws had a wonderful stay on the 20th.  The food was divine, the room was beyond what they ever expected, and the service was impeccable.  They were truly impressed.  Thanks to you and your staff for organizing such a special 50th anniversary gift for them.
