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 rough start at the Twelve Apostles hotel. It was not any big thing that went wrong, but lots of little things that added up. However, at breakfast, after our first night, Pius, the experience manager approached my husband and asked if we were enjoying our stay. My husband began to unpack our experiences and the manager went to work! He went above and beyond on sorting things out and making it a day to remember! Wow wow wow! It is always so refreshing when a leader doesn’t just apologize, but takes action to convince you that this is a five star hotel. The duration of our stay was so special and the team, room, food, spa and overall experience was truly five star. Thank you is not enough 🙏 Read less

We had the most wonderful stay at The 12 Apostles. Our room was beautiful and overlooked the sea. All of the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was fantastic. The shuttle service is great. All in all, we were very well looked after.
