We stayed at the "Nellie" a few years back - "Grand Old Lady" type - beautiful grounds - close to the base of Table Mountain - somewhat remote from other activities, but we did walk through the park area into down town - the hotel restaurant had a full orchestra for dancing - definitely sedate! We booked through PC hotels program and were upgraded to a magnificent suite. Can't recall the rates, but we were the beneficiaries of a very favorable exchange rate at the time. Have noticed that the rand is becoming more reasonable.
