Condé Nast Traveler - May 2011
"POD is the only modern deluxe boutique hotel in Camps Bay, the strip of palm-lined beach that is Cape Town's sunshine playground. Quietly discreet, with just 15 bedrooms, it delivers design with a big D; but it's terribly relaxed too, breezy even, which is probably why it appeals to an international, design-savvy crowd that likes to fly a little below the radar."
Tatler Travel Guide 2011
"Camps Bay is like Rio's Ipanema, the hip hub where you find all the best restaurants, the great bars, the cute little bikini shops. And Pod is in the seaside centre of it. It's beautiful, with only 15 rooms, all glass, textured African woods and unpolished slate.”
Wallpaper - November 2010
"Designed by Greg Wright Architects, this intimate 15-room retreat in Cape Town's Camps Bay is a beautifully understated work in glass, steel and African timber. Guest lounges on each floor encourage sociability. Rooms come with spectacular views of the Atlantic seaboard or the Twelve Apostles mountains."
National Geographic Traveller - Issue Eight 2010
"'Ibiza' lounge tunes mixed with a sophisticated yet understated 'greige' colour palette make quaffing a glass of champagne after a long, hard day on the beach obligatory to be followed by a night out on the Camps Bay strip, of course. But as each room comes equipped with flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, incredible views and the most amazing double showers we've ever encountered, you'll find hanging out in your room just as tempting."
House & Leisure - January/February 2011
"An unimposing three levels high, this striking modern structure is a study of superbly integrated design, from the outside in. And POD is most appropriately named, the space lending itself entirely to stylishly relaxed cocooning."
