Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We arrived in the evening and had to run around trying to find bulbs and adaptors for the bedside lights are they were not working. The unit was not particularly clean with the carpets in a desperate need of a wash, the furniture was old and worn. The bed was comfortable and linen was clean however the overall experience was not great - there is a dog that lives on the property that did bark a lot.
Very nice accommodation with comfy beds! We enjoyed the dog visitors that came to see us a few times during our stay.
Lovely spacious accomodation, could walk over to wine tasting,
We were told the pool was “an hour away from being ready for swimming” but it was most definitely not. Was out of action / filled with dirt and maintenance going on - likely days / weeks away
Everything was brilliant, stunning location and property, our host Mercia was exceptional
Nothing
Very pretty cottage, beautifully decorated
The wine tasting with EmJay was very good
The kitchen is not equipped with some of the basic items like a scissor, small chopping knifes etc
The setting is beautiful.
The historic building is beautiful and the setting equally gorgeous, but the furnishings need attention and updating. The blinds in the main bedroom is broken and bedding is not sized for the large bed. Handers in the cupboards were plastic and wire. The cups provided were too big for the coffee machine. Attention to detail is needed.
We have been to so many wine estates in the Western Cape, but Plaisir is truly a gem. The grounds and amazing and welcoming, our host couldn't do more. The accomodation has everything you need, spacious, fully kitted and well decorated. However the wine tasting experience we had was out of this world. No other estate came close. Well done Plaisir!!!!
Very cozy estate with 3 fireplaces and nice area around. There was also a dam with some basses, and they provided a complimentary tasting.
A bit far from Paarl and lack of breakfast but we were aware of that.
did not have breakfast

Geweldige accommodatie. Zeer sfeervol ingericht, erg zuiver, heerlijk ruikende zeep, Hartelijk ontvangst. Erg rustig op een mooi wijndomein gelegen. Heerlijke wijnen bij de proeverij waarvan er natuurlijk meerdere mee naar huis zijn genomen. Tipje: op het domein zijn meerdere hele mooie wandelroutes. Het zou fijn zijn wanneer er meer informatie (lengte, zwaarte en route) over deze routes beschikbaar is zodat je nog meer van de geweldige omgeving kan genieten.
Outstanding venue and luxurious. Great staff would book again.
Location, view.
TV remote had not batteries.
Our second trip here and we loved it just as much. Gale was amazing as always. We will return
Beautiful estate like a fairy tale! Very comfortable houses and amazing staff. Special thanks to our host Mercia!
Чудесное место! Антуражное. Приветливые хозяева. Красивая и вкусная дегустация вина) Пожить в настоящем винодельческом поместье, а не просто в отеле рядом -сказка! Красивый, продуманный до мелочей интерьер. Одним словом рекомендую 👌
Все понравилось!
Incredible scenery, majestic traditional house. Has everything you need!
The place was beautiful the view and the garden was stunning, Gail was so helpful and friendly.

There was a dead cockroach on the floor upstairs and the downstairs lighting was poor, lamp had no lightbulb.
Unbelievable property

Location is perfect if you have your own transport - It is a beautiful old house on a wine estate located between the mountains. The staff is exceptional. The hostess 'Gale' went out of her way to welcome and assist us.
The Manor House suite was in a really good location with beautiful views towards Franschoek. Very comfortable and stylish interior and kitchen with everything we needed. Would recommend and stay here again in the future.
The 2 nd bedroom could hear the other guests in the cottage next door, walk around their room.
Truly a paradise on earth - already planning our next visit and hoping to use this accommodation for our wedding guests next year. Spotless, beautifully decorated and maintained, incredible scenery. A fireplace in every room which was a true luxury. Perfectly located to explore the Cape Winelands!
I couldn't possibly think of anything to complain about.
The location being on the Plaisir estate was lovely, big, lots of hiking area, open, free, wildlife running around. It was very quiet and little light pollution so the view at night was incredible. The pool view was also amazing. We went in May so it was on the chilly side but we loved everything. We used the fireplace and braai every night.
Alfonzo and Gale for the win ☺️

We had a wonderful stay at Plaisir. Gale gave us a very warm welcome. The surroundings and views are so lovely and it was peaceful and quiet. Our cottage was very well-equiped and everything we needed was there. The bed was also very comfortable and everything was clean. We enjoyed staying there and would recommend it.
Going home.
Dit is werkelijk een unieke plek om te overnachten. Tussen de wijnvelden staan circa 7 mooie huizen. Het is dus kleinschalig op een fantastisch wine estate met één van de mooiste zwembaden in Zuid-Afrika.
Это просто восхитительное место!!!! Советую однозначно!
As fotos do local são lindas, mas a experiência ao vivo foi ainda melhor. Viajamos em família e ocupamos 2 acomodações, todos amaram e gostariam de passar mais tempo. Fomos muito bem recebidos pela equipe, além da beleza do lugar é tudo muito limpo e bem cuidado. Indico muito!
Gastfreundlichkeit, Pool, Weine,
Hunde der Besitzer des Weinguts, welche überall sind und nicht nur am Privatgrundstück der Eigentümer sind..
Außerordentliche Unterkünfte in historischen Gebäuden auf einem sehr schönen Weingut. Tolle Aussicht über das Weingut auf die Berge. Die Unterkünfte befinden sich zurückgesetzt, ruhig gelegen im privaten Teil des Weingutes. Zentral gelegen zwischen Paarl, Franschhoek und Stellenbosch. Vielen herzlichen Dank an Gale für die tolle Betreuung vor Ort. Das complimentary wine tasting war fantastisch.

Fantastische accomodatie. We kregen een upgrade en verbleven in Merle Manor house in plaats van de Merle cottage. De badkamers waren erg prettig, de bedden eveneens, namelijk lang en breed genoeg voor lange Europeanen.
Het huis heeft echt onderhoud nodig. Vooral voor de deuren en hang-en sluitwerk van de deuren. Maar dat doet niets af aan de verder ontzettend fijne plek en ons heerlijke verblijf op Plaisir Wine Estate.
Огромная территория, камин
Such a wonderful stay. Exceeded our expectations. Very central to winelands. Beautiful property.
Fantastic staff, central between Franschoek and Stellenbosch, and lovely accommodation
Location
Lovely location and clean. We will be back!
A nice touch would be to leave a bottle of red and white wine in the cottage. Guest can pay for what they drink. We ran out of wine one evening and thought that this would have been a good idea.
Super super friendly staff!
That we had too little time to be at the state this time. As it was so nice.
Magnificent location. Beautiful views! The buildings were beautiful and had so much character and charm

Alles geweldig.
It was breathtaking, and Gale and her team were absolutely amazing. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!

Improved maintenance is recommended on small things within the accommodation (door handles not secured ect)
Es ist ein wunderschönes Weingut . Gale ist eine unglaublich freundliche und hilfsbereite Managerin. Da unsere Villa bei Ankunft noch nicht fertig war, bekamen wir ein kostenloses Weintasting und eine Flasche Wein gratis. Wir hatten kein Auto, aber es war kein Problem , ein Uber zu bekommen (die App muss man natürlich unbedingt haben ),und für die Rückfahrt zum Flughafen, die sehr früh war, organisierte sie zu unserer Beruhigung einen absolut zuverlässigen Transport für uns.
Unser Aufenthalt war einfach fantastisch – wirklich alles war perfekt! Schon vor unserer Anreise hatten wir aufgrund einer Verlängerung unserer ursprünglichen Buchung Kontakt mit Gale. Sie hat alles für uns arrangiert und möglich gemacht. Gale ist wirklich das Herz und die Seele dieses Hotels: Kein Wunsch blieb unerfüllt, sie war jederzeit erreichbar und unglaublich bemüht, jeden einzelnen Gast glücklich zu machen. Dabei nimmt sie sich auch Zeit für persönliche Gespräche und begegnet einem mit einer Herzlichkeit, die absolut authentisch ist – man merkt sofort, dass ihr das Wohl der Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt. Wir hatten ein wunderbares Haus am Ende des Grundstücks und haben uns vom ersten Moment an unglaublich wohlgefühlt. Besonders die Tasting Area ist ein Traum – wunderschön gestaltet und perfekt zum Sitzen und Verweilen. Auch die Weine sind hervorragend. Auch der Poolbereich ist wunderschön gestaltet, angenehm ruhig und bietet genügend Platz für alle Gäste – perfekt zum Entspannen. Für uns steht fest: Besser kann ein Hotelaufenthalt nicht sein. Wir können uns kaum vorstellen, dass es irgendwo noch schöner, herzlicher oder perfekter sein könnte als hier. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder zurück! Vielen Dank an Gale und ihr großartiges Team! 🍷✨
Es war alles perfekt!

Wat een geweldige ervaring om op zo’n prachtig landgoed te verblijven! Je waant je hier echt in ultieme luxe en rust. De tuin is schitterend en het zwembad is werkelijk het mooiste waar ik ooit ben geweest: met uitzicht op de bergen, heerlijk warm water en comfortabele bedjes. De kamer is ontzettend ruim en netjes en wordt dagelijks schoongemaakt. De locatie is perfect, midden tussen diverse prachtige wijnhuizen, dus ideaal om de omgeving te verkennen. Echt een onvergetelijke ervaring!
Beautiful little cottage on a gorgeous wine farm close to Babylonstoren, Franschoek and the winelands. We enjoyed the shared pool and the beautiful views.
Love the location and the novelty on staying on a functional wine farm that is producing outstanding wine! Complimentary wine tasting is a nice touch but would have loved a bottle of wine in the fridge as a welcome gift for those early nights when you're looking for a drink.
Loved everything here.
Everything is perfect! The

Wunderschönes Weingut! Erstklassige Weine! 😋🍷🍷🍷 Wunderschöne Unterkunft, riesig groß, es fehlt an nichts! Wir waren nun schon das zweite mal dort und wir haben uns wieder sehr wohl gefühlt! Wie Zuhause! 😃 Und all das ist nur einzig und allein der Verdienst von Gale!!! Eine unheimlich liebenswerte Person, die einem jeden Wunsch erfüllt und von den Lippen abliest. Wenn Gale nicht dort arbeiten würde, wären wir nicht ein zweites mal gekommen. Gale gibt sich unheimlich viel Mühe, die Gäste in jeglicher Hinsicht zufriedenzustellen und bringt das Bewertungsergebnis bei Booking.com immer weiter nach oben! Ohne Gale wäre diese Unterkunft bei weitem nicht so attraktiv!
Es gibt auch ganz andere Mitarbeiter, die das Wohl der Gäste mit Füßen treten! Das war die Dame, die mit uns die Weinprobe machte, eine sehr unangenehme Person! ☹️ (Ich weiß leider den Namen nicht mehr.) Aber Gale hat alles wieder gut gemacht! 😃 Wenn Gale nicht gewesen wäre, wären wir nie wieder gekommen! Nun bin ich ganz sicher, dass wir in den nächsten zwei oder drei Jahren wieder kommen werden! 😃
Beautiful wine estate, spacious and comfortably furnished cottages. Gale was very kind and all the staff were friendly. We enjoyed the wine tasting and lunch options from the restaurant. The pool was incredible with great views of the mountain. It was nice to have a bathroom for each room. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a group.
Some things were not working well when we arrived - one of the cottages' gate keys, one of the bedroom doors didn't close. Because the properties are old, windows and doors don't seal properly, and insects and rodents can enter the cottage, which could be something to improve on. However, staff were prompt and helpful at sorting out any problems we had.
Beautiful views and setting
Nothing
Peaceful location with great mountain views, while also being close to many wineries and the wine tram. Also loved the wine tasting options that Plaisir offered. Staff went above and beyond. Would come back!
You can make it work with Uber, but coming here with a car might be recommended.
L'équipement de cuisine.
I hardly know where to begin — this place is absolutely stunning. The food is wonderful, the accommodation is fantastic, and the service is truly excellent. The property is located in a peaceful setting, just a few minutes’ walk from the wine tasting, and it also has a beautiful pool. I would recommend everyone to come here. The hostess, Gale, makes the stay even more special — she has an amazing energy and a genuine service mindset. For example, she went out of her way to help when my husband became ill and needed to go to the hospital. The only thing I regret is that we didn’t stay longer :)
We received a very warm and friendly welcome from Gale. The beds were incredibly comfortable — honestly some of the best sleep we’ve had! We also loved the coffee machine and used it often. The swimming pool was another highlight, beautifully positioned behind the units and a lovely spot for guests to relax.
The only areas we felt could use a little attention were the bedroom throws, pillows and cushions with wear and tear, could be replaced or fixed, the sticking bin drawer, and a few cobwebs that could be cleaned. A good walk through to address these small items would make this perfect.
The staff were brilliant, venue was beautiful!

Fantastisch verblijf op een zeer mooi wijndomein
Big and spacious. Lovely pool area.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are very hot. Aircon in the bigger room is not effective enough so it is hard to sleep.
This is an absolute gem. I could highly recommend this beautiful piece of heaven. The rooms, the views, the amazing location of the pool (which had the perfect temperature for long swims)..... the fresh crisp linen, complimentary bottle of wine, the gardens. Just book it - you will not be sorry.
Prachtige accommodatie en heel rustig gelegen. Erg schoon. Vriendelijk personeel. Heerlijk groot zwembad.
