Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa

It was perfect

My bestie and I both had our birthdays in June, so we decided to celebrate it with a weekend away @ 12 Apostles thanks to her son Darryl for arranging the stay. We were met by the friendliest staff; everyone went out of their way to make us welcome and our stay memorable. We had the best fish at Cafe Grill. The Breakfast was outstanding; the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Especially Henry who came to warm our room and also bought us extra blankets. We loved the Spa and the Movies. Really the best birthday celebration ever...

Everything exceeded our expectations, especially the staff.

My review is on the spa only. Avoid this spa at all costs. It is totally dated and grimy. The “flotation tank” provides no flotation as the salts are not correct. It is meant to be a still, serene experience but it was way over-heated and agitated by the pump. The changing rooms cabinetry and finishes are just plain awful. It is hot and stuffy, with a strong odor of chlorine throughout. Fake plastics, no sunlight, or fresh air and grime around the pool. Stained towels on the floor exiting the flotation tank. Water is provided in jugs, the bottled water is locked away. Snacks are garage grade. Almost R200 for a glass of house wine, because it’s provided by a “separate” entity. We’ve stayed at the hotel and experienced two weddings there. But the spa is just plain yuck. We tipped the therapists well. It’s not their fault.

Twelve Apostles is a very comfortable and pleasant hotel in a beautiful location. Amazing breakfast buffet and good quality food. Service is outstanding and very friendly. Highly recommended. This was our second stay here and would definitely stay again if back in Cape Town.

Fabulous hotel set in a tranquil location beneath the Twelve Apostles mountains. Beautiful room; super comfy bed and pillows; luxurious bathroom with powerful shower. The breakfast provides a wide choice including oysters! Lovely range of pastries and breads. Sushi restaurant is superb; restaurant for dinner was great. Swimming facilities a little on the small side, but one has the sea if you can brave the cold! Food and drink good value for those with USD/GPB etc as home currency. A real treat to be thoroughly recommended. Thank you to the lovely staff.
