12 Apostles Hotel Review: A Luxury Retreat in Cape Town

Flanked by South Africa’s iconic Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles mountain range, the stunning hotel is on the scenic route just outside of “central” Cape Town.

Built around a Dutch-style hunting lodge dating back to 1929, it’s made up of three low-rise, white-washed buildings, connected by skylit walkways.

12 Apostles Hotel rooms

The hotel has 70 serene rooms and suites. Expect creamy marble floors, white louvered window shutters, four-poster king beds with luxurious linens embossed with the hotel’s logo.

The numbers for the guest room doors are placed inside what looks like a shell. And the original art on the walls ranges from the somewhat serious to the whimsical.

Walking trails

Behind the hotel, several private trails wind up the mountain, past cacti and pine trees. You can take a picnic basket to enjoy at one of the hotel’s scenic picnic spots.

12 APOSTLES HOTEL RESTAURANT

Everything is tantalizing. The breakfast buffet in the restaurant – complete with bubbly and oysters – is also an affair to linger over.

Swimming pool

The Atlantic Terrace pool is another great place to park yourself for a while. It too has great ocean views.

Wow! Such service

It’s the extraordinary service that makes this boutique hotel a standout. From sanitized TV remotes (sealed in plastic after each guest use) to smiling staff galore.
