Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa Reviews

We were expecting great things after reading the review of the new sushi bar. Over priced and underwhelming.

If you are wanting to celebrate a special occasion or even just treat yourself this is a fine venue to do so. This has been one of a few visits to the Twelve Apostles an with its breathtaking views of the ocean and mountain backdrop it's a pleasure to dine here. And then the food... NOM NOM NOM, and extremely well presented. Thanks for a great dining experience 12 Apostles.

Great drinks in the bar, good service and tasteful food. Ambience in the bar lounge was wonderful. Stunning sunsets.

This review is based on the SPA experience.

The worst service,horrible spa location. The hotel is opposite the beach but the spa itself is closed up with no natural light or view.The staff were inattentive and confused.The teas was cold and the there were no towels by the pool.They also forgot about my moms massage and left her waiting half and hour before she had to go ask about what was happening.They also didn't bother replying to 2 of my emails prior to the visit.

If you looking for a good hotel spa experience I would recommend the One and Only hotel.

I am reviewing the Leopard Bar in particular, as I did not stay in the hotel overnight.

The service was great, the staff are so friendly and helpful, the live music in the Leopard Bar was really good and the view was incredible, and weirdly served the best olives, I have ever had. I suggest making a reservation. The only qualm I had is once the sun sets it gets cold outside but you can't sit inside because every table is booked, yet empty, whilst they wait for patrons.
I would definitely return more, with better planning.

Awesome side note, this hotel is pet friendly and even has a pet menu.

Such a stunning location, so beautiful. The colonial uniforms of some of the hotel staff I personally find a little outdated/distasteful. Excellent service though, and delicious cocktails. Burger from the bar was a little disappointing though, which it shouldn't be with such an excellent restaurant downstairs.

Excellent service, great scenery. Room was a bit disappointing for the price.

An absolutely incredible stay from start to finish. Thank you for everything and for a true 5 Star experience!

Lovely meals and spa with the view of the sea and awesome waves tossing against the rocks

Great restaurant Azure. Excellent food quality. Top class service.

This is one of the best places to stay in the world. I do not know where to start.
I could carry on about the breathtaking views, wonderful facilities or luxurious bedrooms. I could talk endlessly about the outstanding food the hotel has to offer- deliciously catering to all tastes. Still, I think what makes this hotel truly special and so different from so many others, is the staff. Friendly, caring and thoughtful. We were made to feel like VIPs from the moment we arrived and when we departed we felt like we were leaving behind old friends. Thank you 12 Apostles for spoiling us - we are already planning our next visit to you.

It is definitely one of the best localities. Very friendly staff, excellent food, good service.

The best location to see the sun go down on the deck. Dinner did not meet my expectations. But overall a worthwhile experience.

Beautiful hotel. Friendly hotel staff. Beautiful view

The staff are amazing. The location divine. Service superb.

We were welcomed,by our hostess. With no reservations for 2. The best 5course meal was served. Will definately be back. And the staff were so friendly.

The spa was great, lacked outdoor sitting & ambiance

Has a special place in my heart. Nice venue to chill

Just brilliant. Fabulous hotel, first class Managers and staff and we would definitely stay here again.

Such a great view, such amazing service, and great cocktails

Beautiful sea facing spacious room, excellent food , love it , we celebrate our anniversary at the right place!

We had an amazing day at the Spa celebrating our 10 year anniversary.

A great setting for High Tea with ocean views. The wind made it too chilly for the patio, but the Leopard Room is luxurious. Fernando(?) was a great waiter, friendly, warm, knowledgeable & attentive. The selection of savoury & sweet was delicious & plentiful. A memorable occasion.

Absolutely stunning views and amazing service . Shout out to Byron at the Leopard bar

My experience for the first at the 12 Apostles wasn't that great...While I was having my treatment the noise in the passage...I could hear every word...I love my spa days to be relaxed.I even told my therapist about the noise but she didn't to anything...very disappointing...

Great location for a romantic dinner! The food is amazing the staff are dedicated knowing their menu and wine pairing to perfection. Professional service always.

Spa experience (no stay over): warm and friendly service, and pleasant treatment in outdoor mountain gazebo. Facilities need a bit of a refresh in the spa.

5 star!! Good food, lovely music. Staff very friendly and professional.. Thank you.

High tea was simply delicious and the view was stunning! Will definitely return!

Absolutely fantastic! Stayed there for two nights and this is a classic 5 star! The personalisation of the service is brilliant, the lil things they do just make it even better like leaving two bottles of water in the car when loading your luggage on the way out. Everything from the breakfast to the snacks at Leopard bar to the dinner ar Azure was perfect. The spa, the pool, concierge, everything but obviously the views! Highly recommended and cant wait to come back when i have the chance!

Opulent AF .... Things be pricey but it's 5 star treatment all round ... And the views are amazing

Open buffet with an amazing view. Its expensive but well worth it .

This review pertains to the Spa only.

Situated just before the heart of Camp's Bay, from Hout Bay, it is nestled within the mountain offering a secluded experience to get away from the hustle and bustle.

The Spa offers one a luxury experience, no matter what treatment you go for - as each Massage allows one to make use of the facilities, free of charge, including a heated flotation tank, a warm jet pool and a cool plunge pool, together with a help-yourself snack bar full of healthy treat's and juices, ending off with a dim-lit tea lounge.

The therapists are pleasant, professional and helpful at all times, offering wonderful Swedish Back massages, which I had, attending to all your aches, pains and stresses. The Spa also houses change rooms, equipped with lockers, shower's and grooming equipment, for those popping by for the day.

Although the prices are slightly steep, it's a luxury and relaxing experience that you cannot compare to any other Spa in Cape Town, making it 100% worth it. They also offer gift vouchers, making a wonderful gift to treat a loved one.

Thoroughly enjoyed my well deserved massage and overall downtime experience this past month, and will be sure to treat myself again some time in the New Year.

Spa experience was gorgeous, 5 star all the way. A wonderful break from reality and the glow lasted all day

High tea was amazing, I do recommend sitting inside and reserving a table in advance as it was too hot on the open patio in summer. Service was excellent and the ambience and food was a delight! Bonus points fir the views and they are pet friendly! (Cat and dog menu is available and they set up a blanket and bowl of water for your fluffy family! Wow)

What an amazingly beautiful place! with exceptional service!
We had an amazing time staying over for the night.

Amazing yet again ! Big props to the staff that make this place outstanding.

I had spoken very well of this hotel.
I found it personally and it was true.

We had G&T s at the Leopard Bar- what a magical experience. Service is exceptional and the view is out of this world!

12Apostles was relaxing, extremely beautiful. Definitely the best place to be when visiting Cape Town

beautiful views, home and nature. romantic destination

They have an excellent vegan tasting menu that's well priced for such an upmarket venue. Highly recommended!

Thanks for a great breakfast for our Anniversary. Oysters and Champagne,

I totally loved the EXPERIENCE. Beautiful building, mixture of old and new. The staff was amazing definitely excellent service. It feels homey away from home. Calming and soothing atmosphere.

Offers a great view over the ocean, offers high tea and massages and many more activities.

Fantastic location, ideal for a wedding venue.
We were lucky with weather for the wedding. The other days no so good.

Beautiful sea and mountain views. Olde world charm and style, great service

Yesterday on the 1st October, I went to the spa for massages for my 5years anniversary. I m not a rude person to be rude to someone in their face. And to tell the therapist that her work is not good. But my body is in so much of PAIN it s 3:10AM in the morning and I cannot rest at all.

My body is in so much pain. The therapist really hurt my body especially my BACK. I ve never experienced this before.

The room where my husband and I had our treatments in was so cold, while laying on the bed, I was freezing from the cold.

Normally I change into a gown and slippers, but none of that was given to us.

The way my day was, it was like I went to a 3star hotel.
My whole anniversary was ruined, and it was my 5year wedding anniversary, I wanted it to be special.

And I cannot blame the hotel at all. I ve heard such good things about the 12 Apostles and the restaurants.

The staff was friendly and everyone was welcoming.

But I was not happy with my treatments at all, and I mean, it s not cheap at all.
And to pay so much for something I did not enjoy one bit is ridiculous.

There are so many more that I would like to say still.

But, the main fact right now is that I cannot sleep with all this pain on my back, I feel like I m bruised honestly.

Fantastic hotel, great staff, excellent service, rooms and views are wonderful. Cozy breakfast. Unrivaled hotel based sea views. Special kudos to Tove for her warm smile and embracing personality. Certainly a family venue and epic for Couples. Private cinema and individual catering a boon.

12 Apostles is the perfect wedding venue in Cape Town if you want to be spoiled with the most amazing views :)

Most expensive beer I've had in Cape Town but the view makes it worth it. A must do at least once.

Spectacular venue with arguably one of the best views in Cape Town

Absolutely amazing. We love it here. Great food. Amazing accommodation. Top quality.

Nice top hotel staff very friendly make u feel at home

The attitude here is a bit nose-in-the-air, but it is beautiful and their high tea is highly recommended - remember, you can ask for more!
