Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa

Enjoyed my stay and they really have some good food.

It was perfect

We spent a lovely few days at this hotel in January. Spectacular views with the most attentive staff …. This is one of the hotels biggest selling points - the people. Big thank you to Angus and the whole team of staff at the hotel who made us stay very special Breakfast was delicious as well food in the restaurant. We stayed in a milkwood room, which was fine, but a little dated in areas and no view Definitely recommend booking a Seaview if possible. Definitely would come back. Alison and Steve Barrass UK

12A was simply incredible. The first thing that comes to mind with 12A is the sensational views. The location of the property was magnificent (acknowledging we rented a car) as it was far enough away from the hustle & bustle of Camps Bay, V&A or Table Mountain but close enough to get there in no time. We thought the décor of the hotel was very unique and “classic old fashion” and enjoyed our large breakfast with a great view. We also really enjoyed the free snacks, water & wine bottle in our hotel room! One other very nice touch was our flight wasn’t until 9pm and they allowed us to use their spa to shower before we left for the airport. While 12A is not cheap, we did find a much cheaper rate on Agoda (Classic Room) than on 12A’s website. The room was quite small (probably because we booked on Agoda) but when you are exploring most of the day or using the great facilities at 12A, it didn’t matter to us at all! We would definitely try to stay at 12 Apostles when we come back to Cape Town!

The hotel is located just outside Camps Bay and I would describe it as a Boutique luxury hotel. We were contacted in advance of our stay to organise transfers, book excursions and restaurants, we were able to specify what types of pillow we wanted and whether we had any special requirements. It was great service and very well organised. When we arrived at the hotel we were given a very warm welcome, a welcome drink and a tour of the hotel. We were able to check in to our room early and our bags were already in our room when we got there. We had a Milkwood room overlooking the pool which was very comfortable Other positives - great wifi right across the hotel - the concierge is great at getting you a table with a fantastic view at any restaurant and he also organised a driver for us who took us on an amazing tour of the wine district and Boulders Beach (penguin colony) - Azure restaurant has the most spectacular views of the sunset and ocean - it's very special and the restaurant burst into applause when a young gentlemen proposed to his girlfriend while we were there - Leopard Bar also has amazing views and the best cocktails - the pool is compact but we always managed to get a sun lounger (with very comfortable cushions) - service everywhere was amazing, the staff knew what you wanted before you did I can't think of any negatives. We had initially been concerned that the hotel was a little out of the way so we decided to stay in 2 hotels during our visit to Cape Town (the other being at the V&A Waterfront). We needn't have worried as the hotel shuttle goes every hour to Camps Bay and to the V&A waterfront and picks up until quite late. We had the most fantastic, friendly shuttle driver called Lulu and he made sure we always got back to the hotel no matter where we were going. The hotel even dropped us off at our next hotel. The shuttle is free of charge and is a great perk of staying at the hotel. As well as Azure restaurant in the hotel you could try Bilboa in Camps Bay and Karibu at the V&A Waterfront. The Veranda at the Mount Nelson was also very good. If you are going to Cape Town then I would highly recommend staying here - we will definitely be back
