The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa 

Views from mountain to sea from sunrise to sunset

A mountainside retreat within an exquisite UNESCO World Heritage site.

Retreat from the city to the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa; the ultimate luxury escape nestled in the foothills of the Table Mountain National Park. It's lavishly decorated with monogrammed towels and orchids in guest rooms, and there's exceptional personalised service where nothing is too much trouble. It's the kind of hotel that locals make a special effort to visit, whether it's for the exceptional spa or the live music at the popular Leopard Bar. And while you'll feel serenely away-from-it-all thanks to the wide sea views, there's a complimentary shuttle that means you can be at the V&A Waterfront in around 15 minutes.

You're ideally positioned to explore the wine routes, the Western Cape and Cape Floral Kingdom with nature trails leading off into the reserve and up into the mountains that are dotted with wonderful picnic spots. For blissful relaxation, we highly recommend booking a sunset massage in one of the hotel's outdoor mountain gazebos.

Why we love The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa

  • The world-renowned Cape Floral Kingdom is right on the doorstep, with marked paths leading through the hotel’s indigenous gardens

  • One of the staff will ring a bell whenever a whale or dolphin is spotted

  • Complimentary shuttle transfers are offered from the hotel to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront

  • Catch a movie in the intimate 16-seater cinema - popcorn is provided

At the hotel's renowned Azure Restaurant, the breakfast spread is incredible with oysters and Champagne set to ocean views with à la carte options available. At dinner, a memorable evening awaits where you can enjoy an outstanding original menu of contemporary international and African-fusion cuisine while overlooking a fantastic expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Child-friendly Café Grill is open during the day for breakfast, salads, wraps and sushi. Head to the gardens to The Apostles Braai for flame-grilled meat and seafood.  For a relaxing pre-dinner drink, we also love the Leopard Bar Terrace for excellent cocktails and one of the locals' favourite spots to watch sunsets over the ocean. \
