What a brilliant boutique hotel - everything from the location, the room (we had a Mountain room and you do really get a view of Table Mountain), the complementary mini-bar, the concierge service, the fabulous breakfasts, the views etc. Special mention to all the staff who were incredibly helpful, much more so than other 5* hotels we've stayed at.

Considering you are 100 steps from one of the most beautiful beaches in all of the Cape Town area with top notch restaurants and entertainment all within a short walking distance, the value of the room is simply outstanding. The staff are super informative and offer not only suggestions for excursions, transportation and restaurants, they will go the extra mile to ensure your experience is "managed" well. By way of example, I had inquired about a shark cage dive with very little advance notice. The staff member immediately went into expert mode and went out of her way to book the entire experience from transportation to the operator, even went as far as making sure I had a breakfast ready upon my departure at 6:00 am the morning of my pick up. I will definitely be going back to POD Camps Bay, loved it!

Great location and amazing hotel if your interested in modern design/architecture. Staff went the extra mile also. Found me reservations and a hire car all during the period when I wasn't even staying at pod and during the New Years period when Cape Town is super busy.

We had a wonderful stay at POD. The staff was great, very professional and friendly. The rooms are awesome, super stylish and the beds are so comfortable. Location is great too and we had great waffles and pancakes for breakfast. We can't think of anything negative to say.

Possibly the greatest hotel ever. The staff went above and beyond at every possible moment. It was our first stop our honeymoon and they made it as special as could be. If we could, we'd move in. The room was gorgeous and so clean and cool and a ridiculous view on the ocean and on and on. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Cool beyond question is POD Camps Bay. A true Africa original realised in a stunning set of decor elements, POD is both raw yet polished. See naked Africa design timber dropping into stone, shifting into glass, imbuing a sense of seaside sophistication so often attempted but so rarely achieved. 17 modern rooms share the spoils of idyllic mountain and ocean views. Truly surprising is POD’s proximity to the famous and ever energised Camps Bay beachfront, just a few light footsteps away. It is little wonder that POD appears on the Condé Nast Hot List and finds its place among Tatler’s 101 Best Hotels in the World.
