A celebration made for two
Make your stay even more romantic.
The Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa may also be able to arrange a dedicated honeymoon experience, such as its Heavenly Honeymoon packages. These romantic add-ons are designed to make your Cape Town stay feel especially memorable and can be requested alongside your room reservation.
Welcome touches
A bottle of premium sparkling wine — which may include Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel or French Champagne, depending on the package — together with romantic treats prepared in your room.
A romantic atmosphere
Thoughtful turndown details such as rose petals and candlelight to create a special setting for your honeymoon.
Spa indulgence for two
Selected couples treatments, such as back, neck and shoulder massages, with access to the hotel's thermal suite, rock-pool plunge pools and saltwater flotation pool where included in the selected package.
Personal keepsakes
Special touches may include personalized embroidered honeymoon towels or a departure gift to remember your time in Cape Town.
Thoughtful experiences
Depending on the arrangement, additional conveniences may be available, such as a return shuttle to the V&A Waterfront when planning an experience like a scenic helicopter flight.
Tailored to your celebration
Ask the hotel which honeymoon tier and combination of romantic extras best suits your stay from 6–10 September 2027.
How the package works: Honeymoon experiences are add-ons to your accommodation, not a room-rate category. They are generally priced as a supplement per couple and are charged in addition to the nightly room rate. The package price and exact inclusions must be confirmed directly with the hotel.
