Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa, Cape Town
Expert reviews
“Guests can watch seals and whales from the terrace, explore the eponymous Twelve Apostles mountains rising behind the property, or simply feel the constant, effortless embrace of luxury at every turn.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Cape Town.
“With enormous indigenous gardens that meld into the National Park in its backyard and the Atlantic Ocean a stone’s throw from the bar, this hotel, which is the only man-made structure between Camps Bay and Llandudno, has got location in spades.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Cape Town.
“Dwarfed as much by the mountain range after which it’s named as the blue ocean below it, the 12A hotel offers a dramatic seaside location, five-star service, a world-class restaurant and, in winter, unbelievable value for money – small wonder this member of Leading Hotels of the World is always busy.”

Everything about our stay was perfect—impeccable service, luxurious rooms, and an unforgettable experience from start to
Everything was absolutely perfect. Understated elegance and luxury comes to mind. The minute you arrive , you feel special. From the glass of champagne to the warm smiles, we couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. We were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary and having had our wedding at the hotel that many years ago, it was our first time back. We weren’t disappointed. We were given an upgrade to a gorgeous mountain facing room . Before being taken to the room, we were taken on a tour down memory lane and it was fabulous to see where we tied the knot. Still as beautiful. Wonderful delights awaited us in our gorgeous room: celebratory balloons, wine and other yummy treats. We had dinner at the Azure restaurant and again, a triumph. The seafood platter was ginormous and delicious, the service impeccable and ambience relaxed. The breakfast was the best I’ve had in a long time. There’s nothing they didn’t have. 10/10. All in all, we had the best anniversary - we could not fault it. Thank you so very much. We will be back.
Nothing. If I could give the experience 12/10, I would. It was a perfect stay.

The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to celebrate my birthday!
The cake I ordered was terrible but the waiter was apologetic but didn't get my refund because we couldn't eat the cake.

A nice location, but overpriced and mediocre food and restaurant.
The location is extremely beautiful, the rooms are also very generous, although the interior decoration feels a bit cold.
The restaurant food is mediocre but the prices are not.

Fantastic relaxation spot
The staff were friendly and attentive. The breakfast was very good, with a lovely terrace in good weather. There is a fantastic hotel bar (Leopard Bar), which peaks early evenings and Fri/Sat

It was a massive treat, it will be difficult not to rate other hotels on the standard of this hotel.
The breakfast was outstanding in choices and in quality. All luxury food like oysters and champagne, salmon, patisserie confectionary, freshly squeezed juices and wonderful cheeses are served in buffet style whilst a hearty cooked breakfast can be ordered in the most beautiful patio setting the Cape can offer.
There was absolutely nothing we disliked. The attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff was commendable. They always remembered your name and the valet service wa particularly friendly.

great staff and venue
great staff. Friendly and pro. Charming place. Beautiful view from the pool and some balconies.
Over the road with many car . No view from my room. You can hear everything which is happening in the corridor (doors from the room are not blocking the sound). Hopefully you have quiet clients and staff.

My stay at The Twelve Apostles didn't feel like a work trip all, the ambiance was so relaxing.
Everything at the hotel was top tier: our room, the friendly staff(including housekeeping services), the restaurants, the food, the pool area, the spa, the perfect location and beautiful sea view were just amazing. The property exceeded our expectations, so we're definitely booking our next Cape Town stay there again.
No complaints.
