ACCOMMODATION DETAILS
Classic Room
- A Classic Room, measuring 33 sq m., is the light and airy retreat that puts you at ease the moment you walk through the door. There's a simple yet unforgettable elegance to a Classic Room. Here you'll find crisp white linen, an en-suite bathroom, and impeccable good taste. It's your own Cape paradise complete with a private patio overlooking the stunning fynbos gardens.
Garden Suite
- If you love seclusion, you'll love the Garden Suite with its private garden, flower-filled patio, and open-air Jacuzzi. Indoors you'll find a gloriously airy lounge with separate bedroom, bathroom, and toilet. The easygoing décor and furnishings add to the sense of stillness and relaxed intimacy. This is how life should be: luxurious, unhurried, and filled with birdsong. Both rooms are decorated in Colonial-style.
Luxury Room
- With more floor space and partial views of mountain and sea, a Luxury Room, measuring 40 sq m., gives you space to breathe and time to relax. There's a choice of decor in sophisticated styles - safari, stamp, shell and natural - that encapsulate the Cape's enduring tradition of hospitality. Ground-floor rooms have a private patio; upper-floor rooms come with a private balcony; all have superb en-suite facilities.
Mountain Facing Room
- Prepare to be awestruck. A Mountain-Facing Room, measuring 33 sq m., gives you a private balcony view of the towering Twelve Apostles mountain range. Full-height sliding windows let you choose between an interior of fine fabrics, tasteful furnishings, and a sparkling en-suite bathroom or views across the distant fynbos. This is untamed nature and 21st-century luxury in simple harmony.
Mountain Facing Suite
- Whichever you choose - sea-facing or mountain-facing - a One-Bedroom Suite gives you the best of both worlds. Outside, there's an uninterrupted view of the Cape wilderness; inside, a taste of spacious modern luxury with separate lounge and bedroom, a large bathroom and separate toilet. These suites, measuring 70 sq m., are as timeless as the service that supports it.
Sea Facing Suite

Superior Sea Facing
- The Superior Sea Facing Room maximises the experience of the heavenly marriage between sea and sky. Why visit the Cape if you can't observe the sea? These split-level, open-plan rooms, measuring 55 sq m., appear to sweep straight down to the Atlantic. Three steps separate your bedroom and en-suite bathroom from the lower-level lounge and its accompanying balcony or patio.

Wellness
- The Sanctuary Spa
The Twelve Apostles is the luxurious get-away-from-it-all location that was recently named Leading Spa Resort in Africa. Here, you can be as active as you like - hiking through the mountain trails, working out in the fitness room, learning to dive - or finding serene peace in the Sanctuary Spa. There's not much you can't do at The Twelve Apostles to increase your fitness, raise your spirits, or soothe away your stress.
For those who like the outdoor life, there's a heated infinity pool overlooking the ocean, and a smaller secluded rock pool with mountain views. You can jog through park trails, settle into one of the many idyllic garden hammocks, swim or relax on nearby golden beaches, play golf, go fishing, or explore ancient shipwrecks.
If you prefer something a little quieter, the Sanctuary Spa is a magical (grotto) oasis of tranquillity cut into the surrounding rocks. Inside you'll find hot and cold plunge pools, Cape Town's only Rasul chamber, a sauna and a hydrotherapy bath. In the seven treatment rooms, enjoy a range of treatments including many based on the indigenous fynbos flora. Or you can opt for a secluded open-air treatment in a shady gazebo.
Restaurants
- Azure
Savour the finest indigenous and international cuisine on offer in the extremely popular Azure Restaurant. Roberto de Carvalho, Head Chef, is on hand to create a variety of exquisite dishes including meat, seafood and vegetarian options. From the spicy entree of the Cape Malay pickled fish or the delicate fresh oysters followed by a butternut, baby marrow and morogo lasagne or the grilled kingklip served with sauted brown rice and chives with a roasted fennel sauce, your taste buds will be infused by the finest of organic ingredients. Azure is the first to introduce Fynbos cooking - utilising this natural wild vegetation from the gardens rounded off with a delightfully sweet dessert of fynbos honey bavarois or Bea's baked cheesecake taken on the stunning terrace overlooking the ocean and magnificent sunset you will truly experience the magic of Azure! The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You may also care to sample from a selection of wines through dinner to assist you in your choice with your meal. Azure is also the place to be with a dinner and a movie package where you can eat and drink well then relax in the intimate cinema.

Enjoy anything from tasty salads and sandwiches to the most honest hamburger in Cape Town or piece of grilled fish caught fresh on the day.
