A Smallholding Mix, Not One Housing Type
Simondium is a working node, not a single estate — older corrugated-roof farmhouses sit beside newer family homes and guest cottages on smaller orchard and vineyard plots. That mix means the right blind for one Simondium window is rarely the right blind for the next one over; we read each property on its own, not off a single template.
Same valley, same logic: Simondium shares Groot Drakenstein's wind position — inland of the coastal south-easter's daily rhythm, but still exposed to occasional evening air draining off the surrounding ranges. Any exterior product here gets the same motorised wind-sensor spec as the rest of the valley.
What We Fit Most Often Here
- Roller blinds for newer cottage and family-home glazing — quick, clean, made-to-measure.
- Timber venetian blinds for older farmhouse windows set into thicker walls.
- Folding-arm awnings over a stoep or entertainment area, motorised with a wind sensor.
Orchard smallholdings often add a second consideration: dust and pollen through a growing season, which is one more reason a clean-fitting roller with a proper cassette earns its keep over an open track system.
