The staff is incredibly nice! Janet and the woman who works in the breakfast area in the morning were the sweetest and always asked us about our day. The rooms were very clean and the room with the plunge pool is beautiful and worth your money. I will be returning to Capetown soon and will be staying at this location again. 10/10 recommend!
Staff was amazing, very friendly and accommodating. Hotel was beautifully designed and rooms were amazing. The private dip pool was beautiful with amazing backdrop of the ocean. Definitely would come back
This was our second stay and it was again a fantastic experience. Camps Bay is a beautiful part of Cape Town with views of Table mountain behind and the Atlantic Ocean in front. The POD is in an excellent position n within east safe walking distance to restaurants and shops. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the room we had clean and functional even though it was small. The breakfast was wonderful and the pool and bar have stunning views. We will be back!
wonderfully friendly and caring staff. They made our stay both memorable and fun. They anticipated and took care of our needs above and beyond our expectations. Will definitely return. Great location too, the room are fun and very comfortable, the breakfast was great.
Dewald and the rest of the staff go above and beyond to make your stay a wonderful experience!
Steps from beautiful Camps Bay Beach, Pod Camps Bay is a must!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful property on beachfront in the coveted Camps Bay. Staff and the breakfast were excellent. Enjoyed our two nights, staying their convenient location to multiple dining options. Close by.
What a treat it was to stay at POD. Every staff member was a joy to be around. When we came in from our activities we would come into the living room, getting snacks and drinks- it was like an extension of home. Breakfast was excellent every morning! Can't say enough good things!
