From the moment we arrived at The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully curated. The setting is simply breathtaking, with uninterrupted ocean views and the mountains as a dramatic backdrop—it’s one of those places that instantly makes you exhale and relax. What truly stood out was the level of service. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay special. The attention to detail, from the room setup to the dining experience, was exceptional. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented and full of flavor, and the overall atmosphere throughout the hotel was calm, luxurious, and inviting. This was more than just a stay—it was an experience we’ll always remember. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refined, peaceful escape in Cape Town. We’ll definitely be back.

The leopard bar at 12 apostles truly was our most favorite place in Cape Town. Thulani and Asanda were out of this world. They were so genuinely attentive, but kind and meticulous about the service they provided- true hospitality and both of them played a huge role in twelve apostles feel like our home away from home. They are such incredible people and we are so lucky to have met them both, and their smiles, and have been able to be taken care of by them multiple days and nights in a row at the leopard bar! So thankful for you thulani and Asanda- they deserve every affirmation in the world! Read less
