Cool beyond question is POD Camps Bay. A true Africa original realised in a stunning set of decor elements, POD is both raw yet polished. See naked Africa design timber dropping into stone, shifting into glass, ...Moreimbuing a sense of seaside sophistication so often attempted but so rarely achieved. 17 modern suites and rooms share the spoils of idyllic mountain and ocean views. Truly surprising is POD's proximity to the famous and ever energised Camps Bay beachfront, just a few light footsteps away. It is little wonder that POD appears on the Condé Nast Hot List 2011, and finds its place among Tatler's 101 Best Hotels in the World. Less

Went for a few days in Aug so it was the off season and not too crowded. Given that, level of service may have been better than normal due to guest to staff ratio but either way service was awesome!

Dear Kalifa282003,
Thank you for your enquiry. We understand your concerns regarding the current drought in the Western Cape.
Although we are encouraging guests to be conscious of their water usage, we can confirm that the operations of our hotel have not been affected.
Our pools, laundry and other basic services are being supplied by our own borehole water. We have also made arrangements for a water supply from a non-drought area to be transported to us, should our borehole water not be sufficient.
In addition, we have a UV water filtration system in place along with adequate bottled spring water stockpiled for drinking purposes.
Most restaurants have proactively implemented water savings and water augmentation solutions to ensure ongoing availability of water in their establishments.
You will still be able to enjoy primary tourism attractions such as our iconic Table Mountain, Cape Point, and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, to name a few.
Cape Towns’ tourism sector contributes enormously to our economy and supports approximately 300 000 jobs. In peak seasons, international visitors only add 1% to the population of the Western Cape and if all visitors adhere to the suggested guidelines, the impact which our guests would place on the situation would be insignificant.
We can assure you that the drought will not adversely affect our guests' stay with us.
Warm regards,
Micaela and Meagan (POD Management)

Dear Mohammad H,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Kindly note that POD does not offer nightlife activities, however, the nightlife is only a mere 10 - 15 minutes drive. We would be happy to assist you with recommendations upon booking. There are restaurants and bars on the main Camps Bay strip, within walking distance from POD. A local favorite in Camps Bay is "Cafe Caprice" which is popular on weekends.
I trust the above was of assistance to you.
Warm regards,
The POD Team
