Twelve Apostles Hotel
Per Person Sharing
Cape Town International Airport
Leaving the bustle of glitzy Camps Bay behind, head out on the gently winding coastal road that has the majesty of the Twelve Apostles mountain range to your left and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean to your right. Before reaching the seaside enclaves of Llandudno and Hout Bay, turn off the road near Oudekraal to the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa, which is surrounded by hectares of indigenous fynbos and soaring mountain peaks.
Originally a private home built in 1929 with the classic white Cape Dutch gables that marks the traditional architecture of the Western Cape, The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa has been extended to offer guests a variety of rooms with sea or mountain rooms, a spa, plenty of dining options – the Leopard Lounge & Bar is a favourite with locals – and even a private 16-seater cinema. It offers the best of both worlds: a short drive to the Blue Flag beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton as well as Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and the cosmopolitan Cape Town city centre but also the joy of being surrounded by nothing but nature.
One of the highlights for guests is no doubt the nature trails and picnic spots that lie behind the hotel and the exclusive-use gazebos that are perfect for sunset massages.Ideal for honeymooners and discerning couples, The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa is also a popular venue for weddings and celebrations because of its incredible views and stately décor.

To truly unwind, head to one of two private glass gazebos located on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles mountain range for a massage amid the tranquillity of nature, with views of the ocean and sunset.
The Rasul Chamber offers guests a traditional Arabic cleansing ritual that is a combination of mud and warm steam.The 16-seater cinema has Dolby sound and on-tap movie goodies like popcorn and milkshakes. Take in one of the scheduled shows along with a meal or select one of your favourites from the film library – perfect for a rainy day or when you need to simply sit back and relax.One of the most unique aspects of the hotel is that, because it lies on former farmland and was once the site of a 19th century hunting lodge, it is surrounded by hectares of pristine fynbos, the indigenous heather that forms part of the magnificent Cape floral kingdom. Within the fynbos garden are 10 hammocks that beg for you to lie down and catch up on your holiday reading or cat-napping.
There is also a rock pool with mountain views as well as a heated infinity pool along the front façade of the hotel (keep an eye out for passing pods of whales during August and September). The fynbos also has several natural hikes, with durations that run from an easy 10 minutes to a more taxing 45 minutes.The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa runs a shuttle service to the popular V&A Waterfront, near the Cape Town city centre and harbour, which has attractions such as the Two Oceans Aquarium, boats to Robben Island, excellent shopping and views of Table Mountain from the many bars and restaurants.

Twelve Apostles is a great choice for older clients looking for an old-school luxury experience or for younger couples looking for a more retreat-like vibe. It’s within driving distance of Camp’s Bay and the other beach suburbs, but it’s secluded enough that the more adventurous clients might feel like they’re too far from the hustle of the city.
It does offer a special, personalized experience for clients looking for a larger hotel with a more homey feel. The staff are friendly and take great care to make sure that each and every client is looked after in their own way. Be that with special arrangements made for children visiting or special touches for honeymoons or birthdays.
The spa, rock pool and general natural ambience of the space is great for a ‘city-life detox’ with the opportunity to go gin-making or picnicking on the mountain side, while children are looked after. This isn’t the ideal spot for families with younger children because of a lack of general activities and play space. I’d put your older couples here or honeymooners that aren’t wanting to do a lot of exploring.
You can expect to be welcomed by friendly and attentive staff who go above and beyond to make you feel at home in this hotel that is located on the slopes of Table Mountain, overlooking the ocean.
Our stay at Twelve Apostles was very cosy and they really made us feel welcome. Our room did not have the best views but the champagne, fruit and flowers made us feel so welcome. The breakfasts were out of this world and our celebration meal in the Azure restaurant was divine. Our high tea was amazing, too. The views from the Leopard Lounge balcony were stunning.
We really loved this hotel. Wonderful service and excellent food. Beautiful room but bathroom needed updating and noisy from traffic. Their drivers will take you to Camps Bay & V&A.
The Twelve Apostles was a beatiful location. The staff was great and they helped us plan and book our entire stay in Cape Town.
