Christmas Day Lunch at the 12 Apostles Hotel & Spa

Make merry this festive season at one of Camps Bay’s most exclusive restaurants and sundowner spots

Forget slaving over a hot stove and preparing a laborious lunch for a throng of guests and rather head down to the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa’s Azure Restaurant for a gourmet Christmas Day buffet meal, where the only work you’ll have to do is going back for seconds.

And where better to celebrate Christmas in Cape Town than at the point where the earth, sea and sky meet? Flanked by the Mother City’s beloved mountain and situated on the edge of the Atlantic, this exclusive eatery is offering merrymakers a festive lunch with all the trimmings and live entertainment. Naturally, no day would be complete without an awe-inspiring Christmas tree as well as crackers, hats and, of course, a visit from jolly ol’ Kris Kringle himself, who, we’re told, will be armed with his big bag and a little something special for the diners.
