Why Does The Quality Of 5-Star Hotels In South Africa Vary So Much?
03 Apr 2013 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I have just settled down next to the heated pool. This after a game of tennis, some brekkie and a 10 minute steam followed by a shower. Things could be worse. How other hotels can claim to be 5-stars, I don’t know.

The Easter Weekend At The Mount Nelson Is Where It’s At
13 Mar 2013 by Aramat Broccoly / No Comments
Let’s be honest, you probably haven’t made plans for the Easter Weekend yet. It’s a long one, and it deserves something special, but work has been so hectic since the new year kicked off, and you honestly haven’t had the time to call up a handful of B&B’s in Paternoster. And then you’re wrestling with [...]

The mark of a true adventurer is a willingness to risk death for glory. This coming Friday, two British adventurers are setting out from Cape Town’s Mount Nelson Hotel, and driving straight to London in a Fiat Panda, which is no bigger than a shetland pony. Here’s why they might not make it.

That’s right, beautiful angels – Wednesday night is all about you at the Mount Nelson Planet Bar. The guys should probably be there too, if they know what’s good for them.

Very cool to see Le Creuset have opened a store at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. I already have a set of the coffee mugs, which we received as a gift (thanks Karen!) and I strongly urge you to review their kitchenwear range.

Poolside At The Mount Nelson: This Is How You Do It – Via The Librisa Spa
12 Mar 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
There is quite literally nothing more relaxing than lying poolside at the Mount Nelson hotel. Largely protected from the wind – and with a heated pool to boot – the quiet, tranquil atmosphere is also void of anyone you know. A rarity in Cape town. You see, the pool area at the Mount Nelson is [...]

The Oasis Restaurant At The Mount Nelson

I had a lunch “meeting” a couple weeks ago and I told the guy that I would see him at the Oasis Restaurant at the Mount Nelson. “Are you aware of it?” I asked him. “Cape Town’s best kept secret,” he replied. Wow – that’s laughable. I know a lot of places and things claim [...]

Planet Restaurant At The Mount Nelson – It’s Not “Fine Dining”
03 Jan 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I didn’t know what to expect, to be honest. I spend quite a bit of time at the Planet Bar (Thursday nights a must), which is sophisticated and cool, with a relaxed vibe. It certainly is more ‘mod’ when compared to, say, the world-famous Mount Nelson tea room – just next door. So when it came to [...]
