Experience The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa as a family and make memories with your little ones to last a lifetime.
The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa is the ideal destination for families travelling to Cape Town, with an array of in-house facilities and services to ensure lifelong memories for young travellers. Cool off in the two hotel swimming pools, picnic in the indigenous gardens, or settle in for a movie in our private cinema. We’ll bring the popcorn!
Beyond the hotel, Cape Town offers an incredible selection of family-focused activities and tours. Whether it’s wildlife or adventure, museums or outdoor entertainment, our concierge team will gladly assist with recommendations, tours and reservations.
Children of all ages are welcomed at the hotel, and guests aged 12 and below stay free of charge when sharing with two adults. Children receive a complimentary gift bag on arrival, filled with a welcome gift and a souvenir card to redeem special treats throughout the hotel. Child-sized bathrobes are provided, with cots and playful sleeping ‘tents’ included at no additional cost.
Young guests will love the hotel’s two swimming pools, or can visit our on-site cinema, where child-friendly films are screened each afternoon. The cinema offers five screenings per day, and guests can look forward to plush leather seating, Dolby surround-sound and a selection of complimentary popcorn, snacks and refreshments.
For parents hoping to enjoy a private dinner in one of the hotel’s acclaimed restaurants, a professional child-minding service can provide experienced babysitters, on request and at additional cost. For more information on our child-minding offering or to arrange this service in advance of your stay, please contact our Guest Services Team via the link below.
Young travellers will love the two pools at The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa. The infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean offers the unique opportunity to spot whales and dolphins from the pool, while the quieter ‘rock pools’ at the rear of the hotel boast impressive views onto Table Mountain. Older children will also love exploring our gardens of indigenous fynbos. Pool toys are provided during school holidays, or on request.

No request is too large and no detail too small.
