Reasons To
Visit South Africa

  • Self Drive

    The most economical and by far the most popular way to experience South Africa is on a self drive. The roads are good, traffic tends to be light and driving is on the left.

  • Wine Tasting

    Within easy driving distance of Cape Town, the valleys of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek have become known as 'The Winelands'. Here you can admire the manicured rows of green and russet vines and even stop to sample the local tipple.

  • Cape Town

    Cape Town – one of the world’s great cities, Cape Town has excellent accommodation, is easy to explore and is the gateway to the Wine Regions and Garden Route. Cape Town is an ideal place to start your trip around South Africa.

  • Whale Watching

    Hermanus and Walker Bay, near Cape Town, are perhaps the best places in the world to spot whales from the shore (Jun-Dec). Whale watching trips from boats are also popular in South Africa.

Accommodation in South Africa: The Twelve Apostles

Our Rating: Deluxe

The Twelve Apostles

Cape Town, The Cape Region & Winelands

The Twelve Apostles enjoys one of the most stunning settings of any hotel on the Cape peninsula.

Behind the hotel soar the peaks of the Twelve Apostles, the twelve rocky promontories that form a spine towards Table Mountain, while in front of the hotel are unimpeded views of the ocean, with a small rocky bay directly below the hotel that even has its own shipwreck.

The Twelve Apostles is about 5-10 minutes south of Camps Bay, giving it a rural, secluded location that is still within easy reach of the city, to which the hotel runs a complimentary shuttle service.

The rooms are decorated along four stylish themes: Marine, using white and blue shades, Safari, decorated with dark woods and African prints, Shell, where crisp white linen is combined with seashell motifs, and Nature, which again uses white linen, but with a floral, English design.

The hotel offers every luxury. The Azure restaurant serves superb food using fresh local ingredients and offers spectacular views of the ocean and sunsets, as does the Leopard Room bar, while there is also a café for snacks and lighter meals.

The award-winning spa is a lovely place to relax and enjoy a treatment or two, or you could enjoy the sunshine by one of the three pools, or take in a movie at the complimentary 16-seat cinema.

The slopes of the Twelve Apostles offer some great walking trails from the hotel, and are well provided with shady spots and hammocks where you can recuperate with a glass of champagne and a specially prepared picnic.
