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.”

Enjoyable stay but needs some renovations!
Very elegant and beautiful hotel with all the attentions you’d expect for the money you pay. The staff is amazing and so friendly. Spa treatment a big plus
Noise!! The hotel could definitely use some upgrades and renovations like double glazing in every sea view bedroom. While the view on the ocean is priceless the coast road traffic is endless too. And even when you close the doors/ windows you still hear the traffic.. this shouldn’t be the case for such a hotel!

Luxury at its Best
The location & the hospitality were on point. The view of the ocean & the tranquility of the place are amazing
The restaurant AZURE, serve underwhelming meals & I tried two different meals ( Cape Curry Malay Chicken & Lamb) both meals were not well seasoned & the curry felt like it was store bought

A gem of a hotel positioned in an epic location, incredible views and perfect welcoming service. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was lovely, specifically catered to vegan needs. You absolutely can not go wrong staying here!

Highly recommended!
Warm welcome, staff friendly and helpful, room beautiful with nice amenities. Part of the turn down service was providing a candle and salt for the bath. Had room service - was quick and efficient and delicious.
In all honesty, nothing.

2 days celebration at the amazing twelve apostles. Everything and everyone was exceptional- if you’re going to Cape Tow
It is a beautiful location and an excellent property. The staff were amazing. The pool is heated and there is a cinema too. Food was exceptional.
I loved every thing about this hotel
