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!

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!

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!
