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!

Staff amazing, room sensational, views exceptional and location brilliant. Highly recommend this place. It was recommended to me by a friend and it didn't disappoint.

I stayed with my boyfriend at POD Camps Bay and was blown away by the experience. The service was top notch; even before our arrival, staff coordinated our getting to the hotel and accommodated different check-in times. They left a gift in our room for our anniversary. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. What really blew me away was when I tried to order dinner from a local restaurant during our stay for room delivery. The restaurant was unable to accommodate, and POD's staff then took it upon themselves to have the kitchen whip up EXACTLY what I'd ordered. Amazing. Would 100 percent recommend.

Amazing spot in Camps Bay!
My boyfriend and i had such a lovely stay at POD Camps Bay and my only regret was not staying longer. We got automatically upgraded upon checking in and had a room with a view of both the mountains and the ocean. The location could not have been better in regards to being in Camps Bay. The hotel offered so many additional amenities such as free wine in the mini fridge (!!). The person at the front desk booked us a very last minute taxi ride to the airport at an extremely reasonable price. Lovely staff, lovely hotel, lovely location!
