Simondium Guild

Simondium Guild holds a special kind of charm. This hidden gem is tucked between Paarl and Franschhoek, surrounded by nature and steeped in Winelands history. Originally established as the Drakenstein Co-operative Winery in 1906, the property has retained elements of its historic Cape Dutch architecture and original wine-cellar structures, now thoughtfully brought into a new chapter as a collection of local craft businesses and commercial spaces.

There is a wonderful sense of peace, privacy and character throughout the Guild, while still being conveniently connected to the surrounding Winelands. Situated along the R45 between Paarl and Franschhoek, the property provides straightforward access to Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, with the N1 Highway also easily accessible for travel further afield. Paarl provides nearby retail, professional and medical services, including Mediclinic Paarl, which has a 24-hour emergency centre. Set between nature and nestled in history, this is a commercial space with character.
