Personal Health & Safety guide

Your health matters...

In the wake of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa has developed a stringent international-standard health and safety protocol for ensuring our guests’ wellbeing.

Although bottled water is provided throughout the hotel, tap (faucet) water is safe to drink in Cape Town. Medical facilities in Cape Town are world-class, with an excellent network of both state and private hospitals available. Please contact our concierge desk if you require any medical assistance. Please be mindful of the intense African sun and ensure you wear both high-SPF sunscreen, and a hat, when outdoors during the daytime. Don’t let sunburn spoil your holiday!

Before you travel

Cape Town is not in a malaria area and no inoculations are required to enter South Africa. However, if you are travelling from an area where yellow fever is endemic, you will need to show proof of inoculation on arrival. Hepatitis B inoculations are recommended for those children below the age of 12, who have not completed the series of injections as infants. No cases of Ebola virus have been reported in South Africa.
