The Twelve Apostles

     I woke up early this morning to thoughts about one of my favorite resorts in Camps Bay just minutes away from Cape Town.  This resort stands at the edge of the world.  It reaches toward heaven as the sun sets on breeching whales, playful dolphins, and crashing Atlantic rollers. This luxury 5-star boutique hotel is sheltered by the wilderness trails of the Table Mountain National Park. All can be taken in by relaxing on the golden beaches of The Twelve Apostles. 

     The staff and service will melt your troubles away as the most difficult decision whilst staying here will be deciding whether to overlook the mountains or the sea. The resort boasts 55 deluxe guest rooms and 15 luxurious suites.  The guest rooms and suites adorn a contemporary African style, classic European comfort and effortless, up-to-the-minute technology.  As I close my eyes I appear relaxed and completely serene lounging on the terrace of the Presidential Suite.  At the highest point of the resort the room boasts  open-plan lounge / dining room and kitchenette leads into a master bedroom and a second room that we'll furnish as gym or office according to choice. You have two bathrooms, two toilets, and a stunning wrap-around balcony with a surreal views of sea, mountains, and fynbos wilderness.
 
     The  Azure Restaurant with its cape fusion cuisine was awardedprestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Blazon award, given to  professional members such as an owner, manager or executive chef of a dining or hotel establishment maintaining a superb level of cuisine, service and  hospitality, as required by the exacting standards of the  Chaîne internationally.  However the luxe dining options do not stop there with the Cafe and Leopard Room Bar (host to 72 selections of vodka and 46 ports).  Following enjoy a classic film in the private cinema just off the Azure Restaurant.

     Just before I reach the end of my morning daydream I will take a stroll to the Spa where complete wellness reigns.  Recently named Leading Spa Resort in Africa indulge in 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.  There are no words to describe the total experience one can take in at The Twelve Apostles Spa as it is simply unworldly.
