Beautiful stay
I stayed in the Earth room, and it was wonderful. Loved the large bathtub, bed and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast daily was phenomenal. Anke, the hostess was extremely hospitable, and helpful. Check-in and out was very easy. I would stay again, and recommend this hotel.

A beautiful place to relax and regenerate.
Twelve Senses is a true hidden gem. The attention to detail is amazing, from the complimentary Prosecco and home made cookies to the sustainable room elements and boutique design touches. The roof deck is lovely and fantastic breakfast is a wonderful addition to the stay. Best of all is the friendly owner Anke and her friend Meaghan who felt like long lost friends despite meeting them for the first time. All in all an awesome retreat to relax and recharge.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Comfortable room and patio that faces the parking lot; with a nice free breakfast. Fire room is next to main entrance which made it impossible to sleep in- you hear everyone who comes in and out. Entry is a bit confusing because there is no lobby or welcoming instructions. Nice roof deck for shared use.
