Fantastic boutique hotel and first class staff

A short stay at the start of a longer visit to SA. The POD hotel is in a fantastic location and a great set-up. Perfect for a chilled break. What made the stay was the incredible staff who could not have been more friendly, helpful and engaged.

Special boutique hotel

Was a very special boutique hotel, the staff were incredibly friendly and couldn’t do enough for us - nothing was a problem This place is a little gem in the quieter part of Camps Bay so the noise isn’t so much.

Beautiful little boutique hotel in Camps Bay. It is a very short walk to the beach. The pool area is small but very nice with views of the ocean. The room was very clean and well appointed.

What a treat it was to stay at POD. Every staff member was a joy to be around. When we came in from our activities we would come into the living room, getting snacks and drinks- it was like an extension of home. Breakfast was excellent every morning! Can't say enough good things!

POD Camps Bay is nice slice of luxury just off the beaten path. The area is very alive with things to do, shops and restaurants of all types. The property sits just across the street from the beach. The staff are very accommodating and go out of their way to make sure that your stay is magnificent. Our reservation included breakfast which was a nice touch. We will definitely be back!

I wouldn’t think twice about coming back here. The staff are a real credit to South Africa. The hotel was modern and slick, with one of the best sunsets you could ask for. Breakfast was great, especially with the peaceful sound of the Atlantic ocean.
