Mmm, you like that picture, don’t you? It’s just one of many drool-inducing dishes on the new menu at the Mount Nelson’s Planet Bar. Add that to one of the only outdoor lunch/dinner dining experiences in Cape Town, and you’re laughing. We have the menu..
Those in the know will tell you about the effortless vibe going down at the Oasis Bistro, next to the pool at the Mount Nelson. No parking hassles, civilised, laid-back, and you won’t have to keep running into those losers you find in town.
So you’ve packed on a few during winter and you’re panicky about heading into summer looking the way you do. I don’t blame you. While you work on reducing your carb intake, how about getting some panel beating done?

A friend of mine said she couldn’t get a table at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, but her friend knew the chef and they setup a table in the kitchen. But it wasn’t a downgrade – it was a coup of note! And you can do the same – right here in Cape Town.
These moments don’t come along very often, friends. And it’s only a matter of time before Haute Cabriere’s powers that be change their minds. So best you MOVE!
Amstel Lager got the digital world talking on Friday, 5 July when they released their new ad, exclusively online. “The Chef” is a follow-up to “The Boxer” and is once again a celebration of taking your time to do something the right way. But this time round, the story focuses on Simphiwe Nzima, a young […]

Given it’s classic, stately vibe, the Mount Nelson is objectively the best hotel to choose if you’re going to survive the winter in Cape Town with any shred of sanity in tact. The Nellie is beckoning us for a snuggle in her classy arms with these stunning specials.
Look at all the 2oceansvibe partners. See how different they are from the rubbish freebies some people seem to love getting? Maybe then you’ll understand why we can only accept 100 of you to join the 2ov Top 100. This is how it works.
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.
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 […]
At the end of last month, we predicted that these two guys would probably die. Well, here’s our steaming humble pie. Two British adventurers, Philip Young(64) and Paul Brace (45), left Cape Town on 1 February for a trans-continental drive. The two left the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town in their 875cc Fiat Panda, to drive the […]
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.
While we all have our favourite meeting spots in Cape Town, like vida e or Caprice, sometimes you just want to hide away. Everyone knows this place is a village and finding a spot to meet without parking hassles or running into people you know is tricky. Not anymore..
Cape Town is privileged to have an outdoor art exhibition taking place right now, featuring a number of sculptures, including Dylan Lewis and Deborah Bell. A rare opportunity to take in these incredible works of art in the beautiful Mount Nelson gardens. Click for more info.
I conduct most of my summer “meetings” at the Mount Nelson‘s Oasis Restaurant, so I’m particularly excited for their new ‘bistro style’ refurb! And get this, the old buffet is no longer! They’re going a-la-carte! Tthe menu includes items like oysters, sizzling steaks, burgers, baby chicken, salads, pizzas, club sarmies, cheese boards, home made breads, […]
Well, look at this – it’s all happening at the Mount Nelson’s Planet Restaurant! Can you imagine a night of dinner and dance in Cape Town’s coolest restaurant? This is pure class on tap – Haydn Gardner and the Hot Shots perform soul, jazz, blues and pop as you dine and dance the night away!
During a recent stay at my official Cape town residence, the Mount Nelson, I noticed that the local method cap classique of choice on their menu, is Pierre Jourdan. It makes sense why I can now reveal that Pierre Jourdan Brut is the official exclusive 2oceansvibe cap classique.

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 […]
I bet everyone has been holding out for the Mount Nelson hotel to announce their Father’s Day offering. Well you need not wait another second, because we managed to get all the info you need! As expected, it is nothing short of glorious! Tell me dad wouldn’t want to indulge in a Planet Bar Burger and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. Everyone from the Mount Nelson with their serving dishes at the Oasis […]
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 […]
I give credit when credit is due, and this you have to hear. You see just last weekend I was chilling with The Muse at the Mount Nelson pool (anyone can chill there, as long as you use the Labrisa Spa first – locals get a 25% discount) and we were enjoying some scones and […]
