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.

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!

These guys are stellar! Above and beyond. Highly recommend this hotel and the staff are super attentive to every detail and even out a hot water bottle in a cozy crochet sack under your sheets for a bit more warmth on those Cape Town seaside nights! Thanks PODS for a great stay:)

Although the property is very attractive and stylish, the most exceptional part of our stay was the incredible staff and service. The genuinely friendly, highly personalized service and thoughtful offerings put most 5-star hotels to shame.
