Grand Hotel Laingsburg

Welcome to sharing in the fulfillment of our vision - creating an oasis of refreshing, life-giving rest, retreat and refuge. Previously the old Grand Hotel which was established in 1936, it was always known for its lovely country charm and warm hospitality.

The new owners have endeavoured to not only preserve these qualities, but also extend natures soothing elements into the interior and atmosphere of the renovated hotel. Meticulous attention to detail is evident in all aspects from the elegant dcor to the temptingly delectable cuisine. All is aimed at providing sensory and spiritual harmony and peace.

The rooms are individually decorated and colour-coded to match framed prints of our local Karoo plants found in this area. The rooms are all furnished with twin beds and there is a wardrobe and luggage rack, tea and coffee-making facilities and a computer stand. There are mattresses available for small children at a reduced cost and by arrangement.

We have family units that are connected with an interleading door. A larger luxury suite is available which doubles as our room for the disabled with a big bath and space for a wheelchair. We only use white percale linen and each room is equipped with a hairdryer.

"Sleepover only"

14 August 2018

"We arrived just before midnight. No problem. Friendly Janine sorted us out. Short sleep and quick shower back on the road. In summary bed awesome, shower solid. Quite and clean. Recommend as sleep over any day"
"Par Excellance"

02 October 2017

"The general friendliness and eagerness of staff. Wi-fi though needs sorting out. Room 6 bed lamps power point need to be shifted as it dis-aligns the bed from the wall. the unfinished wall crack at the bed leaves much to be desired. The toilet seat was also out of alignment."
"Stay at Gal-Gihon Herberg."

"I was very disappointed that the staff on duty did not know about the spare parking and it caused severe stress for my husband who had to reverse the trailer out of the hotel parking with a very thin wall and gate. I know she never knew about the parking but the staff should be informed about things like that. We were also left in the dark with the chain and lock and we had to figure out how to lock the gate with a lock that barely fitted the chain. It was not pleasant at all. We found the rooms clean but very basic. It would have helped if the rooms had fridges. It was good that we could stay with our dogs."

"Absolutely lovely, clean, cosy and comfortable! This was our halfway stop to Cape Town and was absolutely perfect! Thank you."
"Very nice place!"

17 September 2012

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gal-Gihon this past weekend. The staff are warm and friendly and the rooms are spotless and pretty. The food was very good and the atmosphere is tranquil and peaceful - except for a rather noisy church service that was conducted early on Sunday morning right outside our room (or so it seemed). This would be fine if we had been warned beforehand, but it was a bit of a disturbance early in the morning. Other than that, no complaints, and I would recommend Gal-Gihon as a very nice place to spend some time."
"Nice"
