Plaisir Estate Accommodation

Simondium

Featuring garden views, Plaisir Estate Accommodation provides accommodation with patio, around 9.4 km from Boschenmeer Golf Course. This guest house features a pool with a view, a garden, barbecue facilities, free WiFi and free private parking. The guest house has family rooms. The unit we rented, The Lady Grey Suite, had more than enough space. We were happy to find that one if the bedrooms actually had a king size bed, which was super comfortable. We loved using the braai every night as the stars came out and the temperatures cooled. The size of this place was more than enough for two of us. There are two floors, with living space and kitchen downstairs, and more living space plus two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Even though this is only listed as having one bathroom, there is actually a separate room for the shower, which also has a sink in it. So in terms of teeth brushing and general getting yourselves ready in the morning, it's like having two bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of tea, coffee, and sugar. There were also some single serve packets of milk in the refrigerator. Gale is an attentive host and will make you feel right at home. She left us a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the refrigerator and offered us a private wine tasting while we were there. She gave us her number so we could contact her anytime with questions or issues. We were amazed at what an incredible people person she is. The entire estate is secure with a 24 hour staffed entry gate. Once you are through the gate, the accomodation area is still another mile or so away. It is inside a separate fenced in area, for which we were given a remote control to access. It is a very quiet and relaxing scene. The pool is beautiful, with stunning views and a nicely maintained grassy area around it with some gardens. If you like mountain biking and trail running, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better spot to stay. Trails are just steps from the door and are well-maintained for efficient climbing and maximum flow on the downhills. I rented a bike from shop in Pearl, and they delivered to me and picked it up for only a $25 extra fee. Super convenient.
