Why stay

Perched atop the pristine coastline of Camps Bay, POD Boutique Hotel emerges as a beacon of modern luxury amidst the natural wonders of South Africa. Situated just a stone's throw away from the powdery sands of Camps Bay Beach, the hotel offers guests unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic Twelve Apostles mountain range. Azure waters and rugged cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop to the contemporary design of the hotel.

Drawing inspiration from its spectacular surroundings, POD Boutique Hotel seamlessly blends modern design with elements of nature. The hotel's minimalist aesthetic, characterized by clean lines and neutral tones, serves to accentuate the natural beauty of its surroundings, allowing guests to feel a profound connection to the landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, while expansive terraces and balconies invite guests to immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the ocean, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere that epitomizes the essence of coastal living.

Why wander

You don't have to wander far to enjoy true South African nature at POD, with the ocean in front of you and the mountains at your back. Cape Town is famous for its beautiful beaches with white sand and clear water. Visit Camps Bay beach, minutes from the hotel, for a Mediterranean vibe and great restaurants. The Clifton Beaches are characterized by dramatic cliffs and are perfect for yacht watching. Finally, for a romantic picnic visit Llandudno Beach, located at the base of the Twelve Apostles mountain range. To venture out for the day, take a trip to Robben Island to see a wide spectrum of seabirds and mammals, or Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden - the most beautiful garden in Africa. For those living an active lifestyle and looking for adrenaline, take a surfing lesson or see the beautiful Cape Town coastline from up high, while skydiving. 

Indulge in

Caipirinhas on the beach. Visit The Cod Father in Camps Bay for great sushi and fresh fish cooked to order. While in the Winelands, visit The Tasting Room, one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, offering creative high-end fare or Babel - for fresh and heathy food from their personal garden.

Getting There

Take a taxi from the Cape Town Airport.
