The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa

$$$ · UpscaleLeashed only

A 70-room five-star Red Carnation hotel on the coastal road between Camps Bay and Hout Bay, with sea-facing rooms, the Leopard Bar, a spa and fynbos gardens that run straight into Table Mountain National Park. It is the only hotel on that stretch of the coastal road.

Why it made the list

A genuinely pet-welcoming luxury hotel rather than one that merely tolerates dogs: pet beds, bowls and a bespoke pet menu are provided, and mountain trails start at the door.

Good to know before you go

The hotel's own Pets page states that it is pet-friendly, with cosy pet beds, food and water bowls and bespoke pet menus available on reservation. The page does not publish size limits, fees, leash rules or which indoor areas are open to dogs (its FAQ answers are not displayed in the page text), so agree all of that with the hotel when booking.

Practical notes

  • Book the pet amenities when you reserve the room, not on arrival; they are supplied on request.
  • Ask explicitly about restaurant and pool access, since the published page does not spell it out.

Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.

Clifton First Beach

Cape Town, South AfricaSource ↗

The northernmost and quietest of Clifton's four granite coves, reached by steep stairways from Victoria Road. It has the most surf of the four beaches and is usually near-empty, which is why it became Clifton's dog beach while Second, Third and Fourth fill with swimmers and volleyball.
