Our stay at the Twelve Apostles was just incredible. We stayed here on the last night of our three week trip, and wished we had the chance to stay longer. The hotel is in a beautiful location right on the ocean with iconic views of Cape Town. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed brunch sitting outside on the patio watching the waves crash down. The service was above and beyond anything we've experienced before - truly five star, they were even able to accommodate our late checkout, which helped us feel so relaxed before our 24 hour journey back home. A big thank you to Byron, who ensured that we were well taken care of at the Leopard Bar, and even surprised my husband with a birthday drink. They made his birthday even more special with a bottle of champagne and pastries upon arrival in the room. Twelve Apostles has a truly special place in our travel memories - it's one of those hotels you just don't want to leave, and will be our go to hotel on all future stops in Cape Town. Read less
