We arrived and were let through the gate and parked up. There were three large alsatians bouncing around - we're dog people so it wan't a problem but a warning would have been a nice touch, you never know if a dog is unfriendly or not. We were let into the Cabernet cottage once the manager arrived, inside was cosy,... More

We came late by car at half past nine. Had prepaid the hotel. Nobody was there to open the gate. Had to go to the nearest rest to get help. After an hour they got the key and could let us in.

We stayed at the Cabernet cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much. You get what you pay for. La Galiniere is rated three star and that is fair. We have slept in four star hotels that are not up to the standard we met at La Galiniere. The cottage was fresh and well cleaned. Very cosy indeed. Kitchen was... More

Very clean and welcoming. Nice touch with the gift of home produced wine. Cottage well appointed. Perfect for visiting the Franschoek wineries......Lunch at Boschendal is still a treat!

These cottages are on a picturesk vineyard in Franschhoek and close to all the attractions on this amazing town. The stay was cheap and the owners were very helpful and friendly. I would most certainly stay here again.

The dogs were lovely, it had a bed and a shower. Well equipped kitchen which was no use in Franschhoek which you visit for the food! Overpriced compared with other places we stayed. Could do with cleaning the carpets too.

Franschhoek is one of South Africa's premier destinations. Accommodation therefore tends to be more expensive than many other locations in the country. We believe that any search through the major booking sites will demonstrate that La Galiniere Guest Cottages provides good value for money accommodation within Franschhoek. Franschhoek is also popular, as the guest indicates, as a food and wine... More

The guest cottages are at the end of Franschhoek town but it's only about a 10min walk, and it's worth it to stay in this stunning cottage. The cottage is clean, spacious, and has all amenities you would expect - TV, Fridge, Kettle etc. The location of the cottate is stunning as well, as it is based in the vineyard... More

Really enjoyed our stay. Was initially worried about the traffic noise, as it is straight off the main road going into town, but our cottage was set the furthest back and enjoyed the privacy and sound-damping of thick shrubbery and hedging. Very peaceful atmosphere. You can walk to town - takes approx 10 minutes. Unfortunately didn't receive the complimentary wine... More
