Stayed here 4 nights over Thanksgiving and thought it was amazing. We arrived just in time to go up to the Leopard lounge, grab a drink and watch a breathtaking sunset from the bar balcony. Our room was spacious. Comfy beds, huge bathroom with spacous shower and separate bathtub. Service included nightly turndowns with candies and little spa treatments like... More

I have written a few reviews here but never thought we would encounter a real 5 star experience. The 12 Apostles has it all. A stunning location, a professional staff, comfortable rooms, great breakfasts on the beautiful balcony overlooking the sea. Stunning Mountain views from our room lessened our disappointment at not securing an ocean view room. While not inexpensive... More

12 Apostles has a great seaside location, with Table Rock close behind it. Service is excellent and the rooms are unique and very well equipped. It's about a 10-15 minute drive from the heart of cape Town, so be patient and be prepared to pay for transfers each day, but that's the only downside. I would recommend it.

Whether you are on your honeymoon or just passing through Cape Town, this hotel is unmissable. The attention to detail is magnificent, views spectacular and breakfast worth getting out of bed for - if you can tear yourself away from your luxurious and comfortable room. Loved the 12 Apostles and would highly recommend it.

If I could rate a hotel as a 6, it would be this one. I’ve received great service before, but the service here is exceptional. It was very personalized, and I did not have one complaint. The breakfast buffets were extensive and excellent. We also ate at the hotel’s Azure Restaurant, and it was wonderful. We booked a Mountain Facing... More

The Twelve Apostles was our first stop on our tour of South Africa. It did not disappoint. We stayed for 3 nights. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. We arrived early and therefore our room wasn't ready. We were taken to the restaurant for breakfast and were assured that our room would be ready in no time. Our room... More

I expected so much more from this hotel - given than we went out of season and aware that the hotel was undergoing some refurbishment we were still assured that we would not be inconveninced by it - which was true, the problems arose out of the lack of servie escpecially in the housekeeping dept.

The facilities and dining at the 12 Apostles were everything that I would expect from a four star American, or five star European hotel--not more or less. What made the 12 Apostles Hotel exceptional was the outstanding service we received, from reception to tour bookings to restaurant hosts to house-keeping. They were friendly, competent and always readily accessible. Indeed, when... More

I have stayed in many wonderful hotels, but the 12 Apostles was above and beyond anything I have ever imaged. I was a little leary of staying there since it was out of the main city center. However, they make it so accomodating to go into the city. Also, it is a nice change of pace from the bustle of... More

A stay at the Twelve Apostles was a fabulous start to our honeymoon. A lovely location (you can eat breakfast whilst watching porpoises skip across the bay), wonderful service and a beautiful sea-facing room. The 'picnics' were more like a 4 course meal and well worth trying, and they even cooked the tuna that we caught that morning! The only... More
