Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
-
Unique, but not for all
Well outside the city, 12 Apostles’ location is a negative point for some, but to others it’s a major plus. This is a remote hotel with amazing views directly out to sea. A property that showcases Cape Town’s wild Atlantic location.

Concierge staff at The Twelve Apostles are happy to arrange an exciting variety of activities and excursions for you! Here are a few examples:
Cape Point
The City Walk
Groot Constantia
Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden
Robben Island
