It is an incredibly neat and beautiful place to sleep and the staff are really the best.
Even though we bothered the staff 2 times after 00:00 in the evening they did not hesitate to help us. Thank you very much for your great service!. We will definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay there. The staff were friendly and helpful. Even though the place is in the city, it didn't feel like it. Atmosphere was calm.

The reception was very good, very friendly and very helpful.
The only thing I might recommend, if there is another power outage, maybe look for a generator. We couldn't cook because the power was off and we only got paraffin lamps. The restaurant was already closed.

Was oor die algemeen goed, net baie sleg gemerk en moeilik om ontvangs te vind.

Translate to English.
Was generally good, just very badly marked and hard to find reception.
We were going to sleep over for a wedding in the area and were almost late due to the fact that we couldn't see anywhere where Foundry Guest Lodge or reception was. Room was fine and very comfortable, late at night it was a bit noisy in the area. Breakfast next morning was good.

Braai facilities had not been clean, bottles were lying around, there had also been no kettle in the accommodation. Only got one after we asked.

Neat and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the staff is very friendly and professional.
It will be more comfortable if you can book dinner like a sandwich or hamburger. I made use of the Mozambican restaurant next to the lodge, but the food wasn't that great, or at least the food I ordered.

Could pay attention to the showers because the water is too hot - kids almost got burned. Can make a little plan with coffee cups. Road signs could use some attention. But overall I would definitely stay there again.

Friendly staff, but needs upgrading inside the house.
Guesthouse is very dark and needs urgent upgrading of furniture etc. The place has a lot of potential. Service was very good, staff very friendly. Gardens around the house are well maintained and look very neat. Pool was a bit dirty so didn't use it.

Nice, nice room, bad location.
The room was nice (TV worked, but without sound and only one channel). Location is very poor - there was a lot of noise and some guests visited our room (they stayed on the other side of the guest house, which was bad). Had a little trouble getting in at the gate.

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer, Johan. Dit is werklik verblydend om dit te verneem. Ons waardeer terugvoer, want dit is een van die maatstawwe waarmee ons, onsself kan vergelyk. Ons neem elke skrywe ter harte en dit is soveel lekkerder om 'n positiewe een te kry as negatief. Nogmaals baie dankie. Met vriendelike groetnis, Suzanne.

Disappointed, photos and reality is not the same thing.
Foundry "Luxury" Lodge looked lovely and beautiful on the photos! That's where it stopped! Slept in a hidden "cottage", there wasn't enough towels and also no kettle, water etc. The person on duty was very friendly though! We had no idea of breakfast and we specifically booked so that it would be included. Also, we have two children who were excited about a swimming pool.

Beste Jeanine, dit was sowaar 'n aangename dokument om te lees - ek het die gawe skrywe vroegdag gelees en wat 'n lekker verrassing was dit nie. Ons poog om die beste diens te lewer, maar dit is tog so lekker om te verneem dat gaste dit geniet. Baie dankie vir jou wonderlike terugvoering. Ons is in ekstase wanneer ons gaste lekker kry en lekker bly. Met vriendelike groete, Foundry Guest Lodge span.

Staff and management went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home!
When the staff learned that the rest of our family would also be staying at Foundry Guest Lodge for a wedding nearby, they offered me and my daughter a room next to the other family. My grandsons, who are all now young men, were particularly impressed with the beautiful old house and simply decided that this is what their homes should look like. A delicious breakfast was prepared under the supervision of Ilse by the friendly staff early in the morning and the men certainly got enough to eat! Rooms were spacious and as a family together we also used the living room and it really felt like we were at home. We would love to come back to Foundry Guest Lodge again.

The building itself is very interesting and breakfast was delicious.
The hostess was very friendly and helpful with directions, but if you are looking for a quiet area to stay, this lodge is not for you. If you are a very sound sleeper, you will be listening to the trucks and motorbikes all night, because it is located so close to the N4.

Two nights stay for business purposes.
Worst service I have ever had in my 20 years of traveling for business. The first night of my stay the electricity was off from 16:30 until 08:00 the next morning. No one came to explain to me what was wrong, the cleaners who received me on my arrival the day before said they thought a cable was faulty or stolen. I did not see any person from the management the entire period of my stay. The room was nicely furnished and equipped with a spa bath. The "jets" of the bath were so worn from previous use, that I did not want to use the bath under any circumstances. There was no shower in the room, and the sinks were not equipped with plugs. The cleaners do everything, from cleaning the place, preparing and serving breakfast, received from the guests. This is truly the first time I have stayed in such an inhospitable, impersonal place.
