Four secluded wings link the public areas via airy walkways accentuating sweeping views in line with its five-star status. The Twelve Apostles Hotel prides itself on exceptional hospitality, ensuring the most discreet attention to detail. The natural beauty and myriad charms of the Cape - coupled with the hotel's luxurious infrastructure make for an unforgettable experience as unique as its haven-like setting.

The hotel offers mountain walks - guided and unguided - through the "back garden". Eight picnic sites are located on the trails and picnic baskets are available from the hotel. A walking guide offers short/long and strenuous/relaxing walks. Whales frequent the Cape Coast from June to November to breed, and can frequently be spotted along the coastline in front of the hotel.

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 free car transfer service – quicker still if you use our helipad.

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.

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. “

Our Head Chef, Roberto de Carvalho and his team, famous for their fynbos menu, will infuse your taste buds with organic ingredients chosen daily from our own herb garden and the local markets, depending on the season.

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 us for a Dinner and Movie evening. Dine in our stunning Azure Restaurant followed by an intimate viewing of a classic film at our private cinema.

Nature brings with it life and beauty and at The Sanctuary Spa we have embraced the healing energies of earth, air and water to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.  Sublime treatment packages that utilise the Elemis International Spa Range, are available in our seven treatment rooms and why not experience Cape Town's only Rasul Chamber for something a little different.
