Boost Team Morale: Benefits of Team Building Activities in Cape Town (Stay at The Old Foundry Hotel)

Work is important. But so is connection.

Lately, I’ve seen more and more teams taking a break from the boardroom and choosing something different—something refreshing. And honestly, I get it. Sometimes the best way to move forward together is to step away for a moment.

That’s where team-building retreats come in.

Recently, a team stayed with us at The Old Foundry Hotel—they arrived a bit stiff, heads down, clearly running on fumes. But by the end of the week? They were joking in the lounge, planning projects over breakfast, and walking out more united than they came in.

It reminded me: a change of environment can change everything

Why Cape Town?

Cape Town makes it easy to switch off the autopilot and really engage with your team. The mix of mountains, beaches, city energy, and quiet moments creates the perfect backdrop for teams to recharge and reconnect.

Some of our favorite team-building activities nearby include:

• Sunrise hikes up Lion’s Head (trust me, it’s worth the early alarm)
• Wine blending sessions in the Winelands
• Creative group experiences like cooking classes or escape rooms
• Even just watching the sunset together after a long day of strategy work

It’s not about being fancy. It’s about being intentiona

The Old Foundry Vibe

At The Old Foundry Hotel, we try to create more than just a place to stay—we aim to create an experience. Whether it’s a team strategy session in our meeting space, a casual debrief over cocktails, or quiet time to reset in a beautifully designed room, we see how the space helps people breathe a little easier.

The Wi-Fi’s strong. The coffee’s better. And the energy? Just right for fresh thinking.

If your team has been grinding non-stop, maybe what they need isn’t another meeting—it’s a moment. A walk. A shared laugh. A little Cape Town magic.

And we’re here when you’re ready
