“Superb!”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

This is a fantastic place to stay: beautifully designed, tasteful, well located & very friendly staff! There are not many other places in Cape Town with the same design quality. This is a real find. The views toward Camps Bay are a bit obstructed by surrounding buildings, but there's still a great view of the beach and the sunset.

I loved this hotel from the moment we were greeted by the staff!!The day manager was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The rooms are modern, minimalistic, comfortable and clean. The only handicap for me is if i had to park my car in their garage with a very narrow and steep entrance. Fortunately my husband was driving. Other... More

“A great location and unique hotel”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

We spent the last two nights on South Africa at this hotel. As soon as we walked in we knew it would be unique in every sense and it was. The decor is wow and the layout of rooms is something I have not been before. The corridors are airy and the wooden/natural appeal of the room was lovely. Loved... More

“World Class Service!”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

I have to say that your staff was one of the best we’ve ever experienced. From the moment we got there, Nick took great care of us and even moved us when he realized we weren’t exactly thrilled with our room (beautiful room but not ocean view). Makayla was extremely helpful with our tour set up, Jabu was a phenomenal... More

“Nothing too much for the Guests”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

My wife and I love staying in Boutique Hotels if only to experience those where the designer has clearly never stayed in a room before releasing it to the paying public. POD suffers from a number of the usual suspects but at least we didn't have to get out of bed to switch off the bedside lights as we did... More

“Unique, hospitable, private luxury.”

Across three hotel stays in Cape Town/ Stellenbosch, the service here was by far the best, and the best hotel experience I have had so far. The staff are extremely accomodating - when chatting to a staff member I said I would like a massage, within 30 minutes I was laying on a masseur's bed for a 60 min massage.... More
