Paddabult Country House \ Accommodation in Simondium

Situated on the historic Bloemendal farm, established by grant in 1692 by Governor Simon van der Stel and surrounded by lush vineyards with the imposing Boland Mountains in the background, these beautifully designed hillside Country House and Self Catering Cottages provide a unique pastoral experience.
