Victoria Street, Camps Bay, Cape Town, 8005, South Africa (show on map)

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“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.

Fodors review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

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.

Great Hotel. Stunning location with exceptional views of the ocean. Food was of high standard. Staff friendly, professional. Made use of the meeting room / board room facilities when receiving business guests during our stay. It was elegantly furnished, all our needs were looked after. 2nd time at the Hotel, will surely return. All in all a great stay and experience! Thanks to all the staff.

A luxury Cape Town icon!

The Twelve Apostles is a landmark property which borders the lower slopes of Table Mountain. The staff are professional and enthusiastic. Our lunch at Azure to celebrate two 80th birthdays was fantastic.

Our stay was in shoulder season and there were several events on at the hotel, one of which caused a disturbed night. The hotel is also on the road and the traffic has increased over the years.

One of the best places we have ever stayed at! Fantastic x

Breakfast catered for all our needs, whatever we wanted. The location and views are breathtaking with the added bonus of a good view of a ship wreck. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and humorous. We enjoyed our stay so much we can’t wait to go back!

The temperature of the heated pool was still too cold to us. However there was use of heated pools in the spa. There is really nothing else to improve in my opinion.

Great hotel. Expensive but you get what you pay for. A luxury hotel, fantastic views and sunsets, really attentive staff (the concierge team were really helpful). A drive into Cape Town but the free shuttle service was really good. Highly recommended. The breakfasts were good and the bars were welcoming.

Great stay in front of the Ocean

Amazing location.Amazing breakfast facing the Ocean. Amazing dinner at the Azur restaurant. The staff professional and very welcoming. Our idea of paradise

The dinner at the Grill was not very good. The Caesar Salad was a bit ordinary and full of anchovies. And the classic room where my friends stayed was a little smaller than expected.

An amazing place- with amazing staff and atmosphere.

Would come willingly any time

Good start of our holiday. Yet expensive for the room and facilities

Breakfast and personnel were great

Our room was not good value for money 😳 at more than 500 euros a night you would expect a view and not looking at rocks and still green water. Also somewhat outdated internally
