## Our read

Mount Nelson is the garden hotel at 76 Orange Street, in Gardens, with Table Mountain above the roofs and the beaches a drive away. The page says it is a city hotel, and it does not sell a safari.

## Come here for

- Gardens and Table Mountain, if the city is the reason
- A garden hotel rather than a room on the Waterfront
- Cape Town as a base, with the beaches as a day out

## Skip it if

- You wanted the sand at the door
- You are booking a safari and thought this page was the camp

## The place

Mount Nelson, a Belmond hotel, stands at 76 Orange Street, Gardens, Cape Town 8001. The property phone is +27 21 483 1000. They describe a gated entrance, gardens, and a hotel within reach of Table Mountain. Clifton and the V&A Waterfront are a drive, not the door. Their questions page mentions on-site parking with security, electric fencing, and locks on the rooms. That is a city hotel talking plainly. The beach is not at the gate. Belmond has also written about Magugu House opening on this property. Treat that as their news and ask what is open when you book. This page is Mount Nelson only. It is not the safari company that shares some of the same press desk. Book on the Belmond Mount Nelson page. MindReach does not take the reservation.
