POD is a smalll hotel right by the beach at Camps Bay: Great rooms with cutting edge design, some with sea views and others with small private pools. Minutes from all the amenities of Camps Bay. Good bar and terrace. \no restaurant but a simple but tasty breakfast. Staff very welcoming and helpful.

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.

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.
