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 [...]

Seth’s European Tour: Three Nights At The Rome Cavalieri
16 Oct 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Hitting Europe in early October is like hitting Cape Town in March/April – you miss all the mayhem, the queues, the mad heat, the traffic and the pumped-up season prices. The big gamble is the weather. You’ll more than likely nail it, but there’s a chance it will be miserable. Turns out we nailed it…

Free Cocktails For The Laydezz At The Mount Nelson – Wednesday Night Is Ladies Night!
03 Jul 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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. But they won’t be getting a complimentary gin cocktail when they arrive – that’s just for the girls. What’s more, this vibe is carrying [...]

Imagine Staying At The Mount Nelson For R1,500 A Night? Crazy Winter Special!
09 May 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Imagine no more, my love. The Mount Nelson has come to the party in a BIG way during winter – and I couldn’t imagine a better place to get cosy during the snuggle season. The Mount Nelson simply LENDS itself to Winter. So warm… So cosy… Usually when extremely opulent and established 5-star iconic hotels [...]

A Taste Of Cape Town, A La Planet Restaurant
17 Apr 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED Taste of Cape Town isn’t just any food festival. No siree, this is a vetted affair. The restaurants and chefs attending are all invited to attend, it certainly isn’t one of those “anything goes” vibes. And that means quality, excellence, and most importantly, a symphony of pleasure in and around your [...]

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
03 Feb 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 [...]

It’s Planet Bar Time – At The Mount Nelson!
24 Nov 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
It’s been a while since we hung out at the Planet Bar. And when I say “hung out” I mean arriving there at lunch time and leaving at midnight. Because that’s what we used to do. Then time got lost and some years went by, and now I see Cape Town’s coolest lounge/champagne bar is [...]
