For good value for the money, choose a luxury room with a view (rather than with a private pool), as the hotel's infinity pool on the deck with great ocean views is a preferable splash anyway.
Afar Magazine "The POD boutique hotel is one of these special properties...unique landscape of this suburb and location of the hotel provides guests the privacy and quiet they are looking for during their stay. " Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A conveniently located bolthole, set back from the busy Camps Bay beachfront without missing out on the cool vibe and ocean views, especially if you don’t want to hire a car." Full review

Choose a movie and get complimentary room-service delivery of popcorn and other snacks.
Frommer's "Entering POD is like stepping into the pages of a slick design magazine, complete with ingeniously shaped spaces, decadent furnishings, and the marvelously svelte model-and-gym-rat set crowding the nearby bars and beaches" Full review
