We had high expectations of POD after visiting their website and it didn't disappoint. The building is beautifully-designed and flawlessly constructed. All the details were thought through and our room was very comfortable. We did have some jet lag the first night (having flown in from Los Angeles) and had a bit of difficulty ignoring the sound of waves crashing... More

An exceptional hotel stands out from the others. All the major things one expects as a matter of course but it is the attension to small detail that makes a makes the difference between good and exceptional. In this respect POD is exceptional and is among the very best small hotels in which we have stayed. We found it impossible... More

I recently spent 3 nights at POD. My husband and I had one of the deluxe suites with a great view of the beach and my teenagers shared a mountain view room. Both of the rooms were beautifully appointed in a Nordic style but I would say, if you can afford it, go for a room with a view. One... More

My girlfriend surprised me with a night at the POD for my birthday. Adding to that, Nick, the manager, gave us an upgrade to a superior suite. The room was nothing short of awesome. Superb design, spacious and with view of the beach. The staff is super-friendly and the hotel has a very familiar vibe. We ordered breakfast to the... More

This brand new boutique hotel is well situated in trendy Camps Bay. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a deluxe room which had great view of the ocean. The spacious room is ultra modern and well equipped with plenty of cupboards and drawers. The open plan bathroom with rain shower and bath. Plenty of thick white fluffy towels... More

We had the most amazing time staying at the POD hotel. The staff there (Brendon, Tom, Nick, the ladies, and all the local staff) were so welcoming and accomodating from the moment we checked in!

We had a fabulous 5 days at The Pod, the staff bent over backwards to help us and Brendan the manager even lent us his rucksack to climb Table Mountain. Our room was very comfortable wih great views of the sea and the beach service was great. A very slick operation indeed. We will definately return.
