Barefoot Luxury – POD Hotel is luxury boutique hotel like no other. Cocooned in privacy and immersed in the tranquil air of Camps Bay, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you are are staying in your own private Villa. The staff are amazing and cater to your every need. With 17 rooms it is perfect for that milestone celebration.

Where the soul of yesterday meets the spirit of today, this former textile factory in the heart of Oberkampf is a perfect example of stylish transformation. Its bold design has lost nothing of the charms of the former days. The metallic framework, the large multi-paned windows, brick-built walls and raw materials are powerfully evocative of the formerly industrial nature of the district. Choose from one of then 33 bright and colourful rooms or maybe just pop in to the Honesty bar to sample aperitifs, French wines and Pommery Champagne at your disposal each evening from 6pm.
