La Galiniere Guest Cottages
La Galiniere Guest Cottages are located on a secluded boutique vineyard in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, just 15 minutes walk to the centre of town. The 2 AA Highly Recommended, 3-star self-catering cottages provide comfortable, relaxing and affordable accommodation suitable for an overnight or longer stay. Recently refurbished, high quality fittings and furnishings are used throughout each cottage to provide that home away from home environment.
Each cottage has a well-equipped kitchen/kitchenette with oven/hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, TV with wide range of movie and sports channels, DVD player, quality cotton linen and towels, complimentary tea & coffee, fan heaters and cooling fans, universal plug adapters, and hairdryers.
We pay attention to the little details, so there will be milk in the fridge, complimentary toiletries in the bathroom, and a bottle of wine from the farm's own vines waiting for you when you arrive. Both cottages provide a choice of king or twin beds in each room. Living rooms have fireplaces for those chilly nights.
We are also family friendly, leave the cot and high chair at home, we have them here along with kiddie DVDs. Babysitting can be arranged with advance notice and with an additional charge.
The two cottages share their own swimming pool, sun loungers and braai area. Secure off-street parking is provided. Early check-ins and late check-outs are usually possible during the off-peak season.
As owners of a local travel company, you can also rely on us to organise tours, transfers, car hire, and other services. Just ask us for further details.

"Value for Money"
15 September 2016"My wife and I are from South Africa and enjoy exploring locally. This is by far the best equipped and spacious self-catering facilities we have experienced to date. We enjoyed the DSTV and wi-fi and built a fire in the fireplace every night. Franschoek is a beautiful little village and we hope to visit again. The manageress, Rita, is a friendly, well spoken and gracious hostess and made us feel welcome."

"Value for money"
17 July 2014"Our stay was very pleasant! I would easily recommend La Galiniere and even visit there myself. It has everything you need, is within walking distance of center of town - all at a fraction of the cost of some of the other establishments. With a family of four we always have to look at the price and this was one of those fortunate times that comfort exceeded price..."

"Well equipped unit with grumpy rude owners"
03 April 2013"The place is lovely and well equipped. The traffic can be a bit noisy from the main road. Our flight was unfortunately delayed which resulted in Wendy the owner giving us a rude, cold, grumpy reception when we got there which actually wasn't necessary. If you choose to own a guesthouse then realise you are in the service industry."
