I really enjoyed the actual comfortable stay at the cottage. I also appreciated the proximity to the town. Additionally, I appreciated the complimentary wine provided for our stay.

Close to town, big and spacious cottage. Warm and cosy as it was rainy while we stayed over and a view of the pool and vineyards. Wis I had more time to explore!

“Comfortable, relaxed, well equipped.”
Internal doors to main bedroom can be checked. If closed, opening the 2nd bedroom door created a vacuum & opened the main bedroom door with a bang!!!!

The property size has a lovely, cozy at home environment about it. As it's not a large estate. So it felt very welcoming, very easy to get around. The cottages are beautiful and completely decked out with everything one needs for their stay. They even provided swimming towels in addition to the usual bathroom towels The main bedroom was absolutely beautiful. It was very well decorated and with lots of cupboard space. Plugs are within reach. There's a dressing mirror and a chair to get ready in comfort. The bed and linen were very comfortable The second bedroom was also well apportioned. Same amenities but with two beds. Besides the fixed mirrors, the guest house had small round mirrors for closer touchups. I loved the attention to detail they gave to a guest's needs. The lounge was warm and cosy. There is a fireplace but we didn't use it. Comfortable, homely sofas and a TV as well as a dining table. There was every piece of cutlery one would need and more. Just outside the cottage is a small table with chairs. We enjoyed eating our lunch there. Then we could also access the pool and relax on the loungers. Big umbrellas are available for shade. The pool is secured by a gate so it's child friendly and it's a beautiful design. Around us was lots of greenery, we enjoyed seeing the little squirrels and the vineyard. The driveway is very short so if you order from Me D etc, it's a very short walk to the gate. And the pebbled walkway made me feel like I was in another country in Europe. The parking bays are spacious and well protected. There are two lovely dogs there who were very friendly and also protective.

“Peaceful lodge at great location”
Great location. Even though it's close to Franschhoek it is still providing a calm and peaceful stay. The pool is a great feature. The rooms were larger than expected and could easily accommodate the extra bed and cot for our kids. Perfect spot if you're planning on doing the wine tram.

“Absolute value for money. The most relaxing stay with the friendliests staff ever.”
The host went out of her way to accommodate our request to access the premises earlier. We could use the swimming pool and braai area while getting rhe cottage ready for us.

“Pleasant quick stay over!”
We had a lovely one night stay in La Galiniere. The actual property is beautiful and cottages were spacious. The complementary bottle of wine in the cottages were a nice touch (and tasted good too!). The location is pretty central in franschoek and walking distance to the wine tram.

Everything was just perfect, from the views to the friendliness of the staff. Can't fault anything, stayed there many years ago and still as amazing as back then.

Needs more lighting at night around the property. The security door really didn’t work easily. It was also very flimsy so we didn’t feel secure really.

The swimming pool was great to splash in to cool off as it was very hot, the location is great as it's close to town and all the wine farms and loved the friendly doggies, they were our watch dogs for the night, felt safe! 🌼👌
