General information: 

The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa stands at the edge of the world. On one side, a line of majestic mountains – The Twelve Apostles – reaches towards the heavens; on the other, the sun sets on breeching whales, playful dolphins, and crashing Atlantic rollers. And yet this luxury 5-star boutique hotel is just a few minutes from worldly, cosmopolitan Cape Town. City-centre theatres and art galleries, plus the shops and restaurants of the vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront are only 15 minutes away via our complimentary car transfer service – quicker still if you use the helipad. Nearest of all is the elegant area of Camps Bay with its beautiful golden beaches. Or, if you prefer adventure to sun-soaked relaxation, we can arrange sea fishing, shark and scuba diving, or whale watching trips. Further afield are the Cape Winelands (private tours by arrangement), notably the town of Hermanus where you can visit one of SA’s leading boutique vineyards, Bouchard Finlayson, see whales from the shore and, beyond that, the ancient tip of Africa where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet.

Accommodation:

When choosing one of the 55 deluxe guest rooms and 15 luxurious suites, the hardest part is deciding whether to overlook the mountains or the sea. Whichever direction you face, the views are stunning. At The Twelve Apostles, you want for nothing: every room includes 24-hour room service, individual air conditioning, entertainment centres with DVD, and plush bathrobes and slippers. The spectacular presidential suite is an unforgettable choice with room to stretch out, a magnificent terrace, and views that go on forever. A deluxe guest room blends modern comfort with traditional Cape elegance. The muted colours feel cool by day and intimately cosy by night.

Dining:

If ever a location and its 5-star cuisine were in harmony, it´s here at The Twelve Apostles. With stunning national park scenery and inventive Cape fusion cuisine, The Twelve Apostles Hotels invites diners to immerse themselves in the Cape experience. You can choose to dine in the Azure restaurant with its magnificent sea views of the Atlantic Ocean, which has just received the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Blazon award, given to  professional members such as an owner, manager or executive chef of a dining or hotel establishment maintaining a superb level of cuisine, service and  hospitality, as required by the exacting standards of the Chaîne internationally. For lighter fare try the Café which is open 24 hours a day, and has a  choice of delicious fresh salads, light snacks, grilled meat and fish. If you have your own personal favourite dish, all you have to do is ask!

For breathtaking sundowners head to the Leopard Room bar. Our head barman keeps 72 types of vodka and 46 ports and will create cocktails using your own favourite ingredients, or you can have Tea by the Sea with all the trimmings, an event of such magnificence that it´s become a local tradition. For a really unique experience, join in for a Dinner and Movie evening. Dine in the stunning Azure Restaurant followed by an intimate viewing of a classic film at our private cinema.

Spa:

The Twelve Apostles is the luxurious get-away location that was recently named Leading Spa Resort in Africa. Here, you can be as active as you like – hiking through the mountain trails, working out in the fitness room, learning to dive – or finding serene peace in the Sanctuary Spa. The Sanctuary Spa is a magical (grotto) oasis of tranquillity cut into the surrounding rocks. Inside you´ll find hot and cold plunge pools, Cape Town´s only Rasul chamber, a sauna and a hydrotherapy bath. In our seven treatment rooms, the Sanctuary Spa can pamper you with a range of treatments including many based on the indigenous fynbos flora. Or you can opt for a secluded open-air treatment in a shady gazebo. For those who like the outdoor life, there´s a heated infinity pool overlooking the ocean and a smaller secluded rock pool with mountain views.
