In a class of it’s own! The most attentive and professional, yet never stuffy, staff, spectacular and breathtaking view, delicious food, and those little special touches every day made this a stay to remember. Amazing walking/running trails on the premises where we were greeted by an inquisitive kudu, lovely picnic spots to choose from, the pools and pool facilities were on point and we loved the quaint little movie theatre with fresh popcorn and yummiest shakes. The complimentary shuttle to Camps Bay and the Waterfront was also a great touch. From the moment we arrived we felt truly welcome (you can somehow sense when staff at some establisments have been coached to be friendly, but it’s a bit fake), the staff were authentic and before we even knew we wanted something, they were offering it to us. We went to the beach but had not brought towels. Before I knew it we had a 12A beach bag and towels in hand. The concierge was amazing and offered super advice. And I unfortunately didn’t catch his name, but the porter that assisted with our luggage was in a whole different league. He greeted us daily, remebering our name, never let us leave the hotel without a bottle of water and a huge warm smile. I have travelled extensively to many countries but have not enjoyed a stay as much as this one! Can’t wait for another stay! Read less

Without doubt the premier destination in the Camps Bay area. Surrounded by views of the imposing mountains on one side and offset by stunning ocean views and sunsets on the other. The perfect location for a coastal retreat. The staff are warm, welcoming and attentive. The rooms are spacious, with closets and are well appointed, with very comfortable beds and all the amenities you need in the bathrooms. The large yet intimate bar situated overlooking the ocean and daily sunset provides wonderful backdrop for inhouse Gin tastings accompanied by live low key musicians playing in the background. As does the Azure restaurant with a wine list to match the excellent food choices. There are a range of dining options from casual to fine dining, high quality seafood and meats, sushi/sashimi food experiences at the Azure or Cafe Grill. The standard is very high, even when compared to Cape Town's extensive foodie destinations. The chef prepared honeycomb ice cream is a real dessert treat! With extensive beverage and wine options too. The sommeliers, Danelia and Juliet (if I recall correctly), were very knowledgeable and helpful on what Cape Town and South African wines amongst others have to offer. Breakfast at the Azure on the balcony is stunning with the morning sun and views while enjoying a cappuccino, chef cooked or buffet including champagne and fresh oysters. Out by the pool where the sun is warm and the pool is maintained at the perfect temperature, food can be ordered poolside. The club sandwich was my absolute favorite. A variety of experiences had can be arranged in house with the concierge including helicopter flights that can provide a sensational perspective on the Cape coast, Cape Town and surrounding valleys. Imran the ironman and his colleagues were very obliging in doing this for me as well as arranging offsite restaurant and airport transfers. The Guest relations representative, Zintle was always on hand to ensure my stay and experience was going well from dining and wines, to gift shopping, she helped make my stay exceptional. The front desk check in team were friendly, made the experience seamless and only too happy to help me at any time. A wonderful experience that topped my list in my three stays and visit across, Cape Town, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Camps Bay over a two week period. The Twelve Apostles is a fabulous first class destination in Camps Bay and Cape Town. Read less

Wish I could give this property 5,000 stars! Truly and amazing stay at the Twelve Apostles. The staff, the beautiful property and all of the lovely little touches made our belated birthday and anniversary celebrations so, so special. The concierge team was excellent and helped us arrange transport, spa treatments and other activities while on property. The front desk staff and bellhops made check in a breeze. We had an AMAZING experience at the spa for massages and facials (thank you Taryn!). We also enjoyed the dining options for brunch and lunch. We so appreciate all of the time and care that was taken to transport us and make us feel at home while on the property. HIGHLY recommend staying at this property. We will certainly be back!
