Lonely Planet review
The sugar-pink painted ‘Nellie’ recalls Cape Town’s colonial era with its chintz decor and doormen in pith helmets. Recently renovated rooms sport elegant silver and mossy green decorations. Service is mixed but it’s very good for families since it pushes the boat out for the little ones, with kid-sized robes and free biscuits and milk at bedtime, not to mention the big pool and three hectares of gardens including tennis courts.
