Reviews for The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa
Overrated, overpriced, isolated
Encouraged by many positive reviews, we took a 2-room suite at the 12 Apostles at the end of September 2025 so we’d have room enough to recover from jet lag on our own individual schedules. Foolish. The 2 rooms were divided by only a half wall, not even shutters, so there was no respite from light at an inconvenient hour. Food at the hotel was disappointing, fresh oysters on the Breakfast buffet (though didn’t notice anyone having them then) but served at dinner in a crowded dish with some sort of sweet sauce. Yuk. Food generally was disappointing. The bar had a soccer match playing on the large TV screen behind the live singer. Didn’t know whether to feel more sorry for her or for anyone who wanted to watch the match. The hotel is fully 30 minutes from any alternative eats or diversions and you might well have to wait 30 minutes or more for the shuttle to collect you from town.

An Icon of Cape Town
An incredible hotel, with warm, dedicated hospitality. From the efficient and friendly arrival, to the pride the team expressed whilst showing us around their property. The seafacing junior suite and its views were stunning. The hiking trails amazing. The food and drink were good too. You can tell there was care and consideration in all elements of this hotel, right down to the tiniest of details. Can’t wait to return! An icon!

Great stay.
Lovely place with a warm welcome from the owners. Rooms were comfortable, & breakfast was excellent. Close to the main attractions, which made getting around easy.

In August, 2004, my husband, his two adult daughters and I took the trip of a lifetime to Africa. The unbelievable service from these establishments deserves much credit. I hope they will read this and accept our heartfelt thanks. Janne at the Orient Express Hotel (South Africa & Botswana), Michele at Stanley & Livingstone (Victoria Falls), Karen at The Liz McGrath Collection, and Zanette at The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa. Thanks for making us feel like family! Thank you Liz McGrath, for joining us at lunch, to taste the Cape Malay cooking that your Chef Martha taught us. It was a memorable experience. I can't say enough about the trip. We will be back!

We began our honeymoon at the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa in Cape Town. I do not think we could have picked a more beautiful setting in the entire City. The Twelve Apostles is set apart from the city on a mountainside overlooking the ocean. The guest room was beautifully appointed, the service was great, and the daily breakfast was amazing.
-K. Landers
The Twelve Apostles is a relaxing and luxurious sanctuary with stunning ocean views, quiet enough to be private but close enough to the action to allow you to enjoy all the amenities of Camps Bay and Cape Town. The service was impeccable - the staff were knowledgeable, attentive and helpful without being overbearing - nothing was too much trouble. It was the perfect place to celebrate the New Year in style.
