Akkerendam Nature Reserve

I loved The Foundry Hotel! My husband and decided to have a little mini-holiday and love the decor and space. Sadly, a flood in the middle of the night, meant we had to change rooms at 1 am (suitcases open, etc etc). The staff was great about it (and the night receptionist gave us a nice bottle of white wine to say thank you for our understanding), but I haven't heard anything from management about compensating us in any way (although I did ask).

Cute boutique. Lobby smelled great. Jug of ice cold water flavored with lemon or cucumbers or strawberries, nice touch. Great decor. Staff friendly and receptive and helpful. The room although small had great windows, view of golf course. Terrace view of ocean. Shower very hot which was outstanding. . Thin walls could hear shower next door. Terrace close together could smell smoke from room next door. Would prefer no smoking Period.

This property was located further out than expected due to the traffic going to all the tourist sites like Lions head, Cape of good Hope, etc. But if you are okay with a 30-40 Uber/Taxi ride then it’s an excellent place to stay. The staff was amazing, and even while they were short staffed they did an amazing job. I upgraded to Studio 3 since it was available and was worth every dollar spent. The Mountain View’s, ocean view and the amazing sunsets made it all worth it. This place offers a simple walk onto the beach, a nice relaxing pool area to enjoy, and breakfast every morning along with the option of dinner being cooked upon request. It is located in a very upscale neighborhood, which is very safe to walk/jog around during the morning or evening hours. This property will not disappoint if you are looking for a relaxing time!
