Admire the vistas from the Leopard Bar - the perfect place to unwind before dinner at the Azure Restaurant, which serves delicious international fare with a South African slant!

We had a wonderful stay at 12 Apostles Hotel & Spa and would not hesitate to return or recommend it to others visiting Cape Town. The location is spectacular, with breathtaking ocean views that make every moment at the property feel special. Upon arrival, Justin, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Due to some nearby construction activity, he proactively upgraded us to a room in a quieter section of the hotel, which we greatly appreciated. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and the hotel made it truly memorable with champagne, a delicious cake, and macarons waiting for us in the room. It was a thoughtful touch that made us feel genuinely valued as guests. The heated pool was a highlight for our family, especially the kids, who absolutely loved spending time there. The food and drinks throughout our stay were exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed dining at The Grill, Azure, and Leopard Bar, where both the quality of the food and the service were outstanding. The complimentary shuttle service to the V&A Waterfront was incredibly convenient and made exploring Cape Town effortless. Most importantly, every staff member we encountered was warm, hospitable, and greeted us with a smile. The level of service and genuine friendliness throughout the hotel made a lasting impression. A beautiful property, excellent dining, thoughtful service, and unforgettable views—12 Apostles Hotel & Spa exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to returning. Read less
