I had a spectacular wedding at 12A as well as a 2 night stay. The service was phenomenal I must say. Just a special thanks to Hlumisa Feketshane for here professionalism and how she would go out of her way. She added such a personal touch to my experience. Thank you so much ♥️

From the pick up at the airport to check in and check out, the service at this hotel is incredible. The staff - housekeeping, waiting, cabana, front desk, concierge - are all extremely friendly and attentive. There was nothing they couldn't sort out. Every meal I ate at this hotel was great - from the high end Azure Restaurant to the breakfast - also, the Leopard bar atmosphere is great. I am not a huge fan of views but the view from the Leopard Bar at sunset is beautiful. Lovely Negroni mixed by the bar tenders and a very accommodating Hostess. Loulou, the driver took us to Restaurants in Camps Bay and was always there when he said he would be to pick us up to go back to the hotel. Imran, very kindly took me out cycling on the complimentary mountain bikes and showed me all the local routes. We will return to Cape Town, as there is so much to do, and will only stay at 12 Apostles.

Fantastic stay, great facilities and amazing staff, always willing to help . Especially Justin (JJ) at reception and concierge Imran, nothing was too much trouble to any of the staff . Was our second stay at the 12A and it didn’t disappoint, Will definitely return.
Movie Birthday experience

We hosted my daughter's 10th birthday party at the hotel with their movie/party package. The staff were superb - attentive, and amazing with the kids (and the parents) and she felt thoroughly spoilt. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely love this property. My third stay, two with groups from the US. The location is spectacular with amazing views. The DJ in the bar one of our nights was so fun and talented! Cocktails are very good and our wine pairing meal was wonderful great on one trip and challenging on another. We did have a few hiccups with some of the rooms with my groups, but they were addressed swiftly. The spa facility is very unique with its cave pools and the massage was good, but not great. I felt a bit of a disconnect with staff on a few interactions which was disappointing. BUT, will not hesitate to return and book for clients whenever they are booking Cape Town.
