The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa recently appeared on the Condé Nast Traveler Magazine list of the 80 best new hotels in the world. We’re now looking forward to making the list for established hotels, and judging by the comments of our guests – the people we really want to be judged by – we’re well on the way there.

At Red Carnation we want every visit to be as perfect as possible, and every guest to leave vowing to return. Such guest remarks as “comfort, fabulous cuisine, professionalism, an extraordinary level of excellence” suggest that our credo: “no request is too large, no detail too small” is working as effectively at the Twelve Apostles as at all our hotels.

If you have any further queries about the Twelve Apostles please contact us, we’ll be delighted to hear from you.
