Gemaklik en lekker gekuier en ontspan.

Die huisie is lekker ruim, slaapkamers groot en gemaklik ingerig. Die ligging is uitstekend; daar is 'n tikkie romanse in om tussen wingerde te bly.

Easy and nice to visit and relax.

The house is nice and spacious, bedrooms large and comfortably furnished. The location is excellent; there is a touch of romance in living among vineyards.

Goeie diens en gaan die ekstra myl.

My man en seun het die Race to the Sea gaan doen. Ons het gevra vir 'n warm stort na die tyd, al bly ons nie die Saterdag oor nie. Hulle was meer as bereid om ons te akkommodeer!

Lovely overnight stay.

The cottages at La Galiniere are really charming and well-equipped. The location is also good, just a short distance from the centre of Franschhoek, and so close to the wine tram. It also has a lovely pool area with braai facilities. The fact that there are just two cottages also provides a sense of privacy.

Goeie verblyf.

Met beurtkrag is dit moeilik. Nie net het ons nie elektrisiteit gehad met beurtkrag nie, maar ook nie water nie. Ons voel so 'n plek behoort voorsiening daarvoor te maak.

Good stay.

With load shedding it is difficult. Not only did we not have electricity with load shedding, but also no water. We feel such a place should cater for that.

La Galiniere Guest Cottages 's response

Dear Elize, we apologise that your stay did not meet expectations. I'm sure you know that the load shedding situation is impacting a lot of businesses throughout the country, including the accommodation sector. We are looking at options to install solar power on the farm, but this does require substantial investment. As a three star self-catering accommodation, our profit margins are very limited, making it very difficult to put together the necessary funding. We will investigate what happened with the water supply, as this should not have been affected from the load shedding. Kind regards. Alan

Flexible when it comes to checking out but sad about other things.

Nice stay but it was unlucky that the pool was not ready to be used. Even though I asked and they wrote to me that it was. The owner was shouting at me and my 5-year-old son for going to the pool without knowing it was not ready.

La Galiniere Guest Cottages 's response

Dear Emilie,
I'm sorry if you were felt that you were shouted at. At the time you arrived, we were undertaking routine servicing of the guest swimming pool - vacuuming sediment from the bottom. We kindly requested that you do not use the pool for a short period of time while the pool was being serviced, and suggested that you use another swimming pool on the farm for a short period of time. Your son, who was playing around the guest pool dropped a toy into the water, and you removed the pipe and pole with the suction head yourself without speaking to us, which then disturbed the sediment.
All swimming pools require regular servicing to ensure that they are well-maintained and clean. When guests interfere during pool servicing (intentionally or not), this can result in challenges to keep the pool clean. As a result, of you removing the pipe and suction head, we had to add more chemicals and run the pump for an additional period of time.
We had tried to clearly communicate that the pool was being serviced for a short period of time and assumed that you had understood this. I apologize if our communication was unclear.
Kind regards,

La Galiniere Guest Cottages

Pleasant stay, was very handy to go around to visit vineyards and good restaurants.

As we said, was a pleasant stay. It was clean and handy, welcomed with a bottle of red wine from their own vineyard, was good. The swimming pool is small but enough to enjoy, especially the kids. Security is 5 stars for sure, maybe to many dogs, that scared a little bit.

Baie netjies en skoon.

La Galiniere is 1,5 km buite Franschhoek en ek sal definitief weer daar gaan bly. Dit is baie netjies en skoon en ideaal as jy die omgewing daagliks verken en net snags daar wil oornag. Ons is mense wat hou daarvan om te stort en die stort wat in die bad is was so klein bietjie van 'n irritasie. Verder is daar alles wat mens enigsins nodig het. Ek was mal oor die idee dat dit tussen wingerde is - gee mens daardie lekker Franschhoek gevoel.

La Galiniere is 1,5 km outside of Franschhoek and I would definitely stay there again. It is very neat and clean and ideal if you want to drive out, get to know the area and just need a place to sleep. We are people who love showering and having the shower in the tub was a bit irritating. Other than that, everything we needed was there. I really liked the idea of being between the vineyards - gives one that Franschhoek feeling.

Een van die mooiste plekke waar ek nog gebly het. Die eenhede is ongelooflik mooi toegerus en afgerond. Diens ontvang was uitstekend, ek sal baie graag in die somer weer kom kuier dat ek van al die ander geriewe soos die swembad en braai-areas ook kan gebruik maar, maar vir nou was die lekker kaggel baie aangenaam.

Perfect location and comfortable cottage.

The cottage is ideal for a family of 4 with big bedrooms and living room. Most importantly the location is fantastic! A small vineyard in the Main Street of Franschhoek that allows you to visit all farms at easy reach. The cottage is very clean and I highly recommend. Only area of improvement is the presence of 4 dogs in the vineyard which makes the kids a bit scared as the dogs do bark at people.

Dear Penelope,
Many thanks for your positive review. We're glad the cottage met your expectations.
I appreciate your comments about our dogs, but I'm sure you understand that on a small holding like ours, it's important to provide a high level of security for our guests.

Aangename verblyf - sal weer hier tuisgaan.

Ek en my vrou het die plek baie aangenaam gevind. Die kombuis is baie goed toegerus en die eienaar het aan alles gedink. Breekware, eetgerei en kookgerei van hoë gehalte. Die lekker hangkaste met genoeg klerehangers waar mens jou klere kan ophang en ander goed uitpak was 'n groot verbetering op ander gastehuise wat nie sulke geriewe bied nie. Die matras in die hoofslaapkamer was 'n droom en die spierwit linne was 'n aangename verrassing. Die addisionele sagte komberse in die kas was ook baie welkom en moes dit gebruik omdat dit bitter koud was. Die mat in die hoofslaapkamer was nie onlangs gesuig nie en is miskien iets waaraan aandag gegee kan word. Die badkamer kort dalk ook bietjie aandag, bv die kraankoppe oor die bad vertoon slordig. Verder 'n lekker plek en ons sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan.

Pleasant accommodation - will stay here again.

My wife and I found this place to be very pleasant. The kitchen is very well equipped and the owner thought of everything. Crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils were high quality. The nice closets have enough hangers so you can hang up your clothes and unpack the rest. It's a big improvement on other guesthouses that do not offer such facilities. The mattress in the main bedroom was a dream and the white linen was a pleasant surprise. The additional soft blanket in the cupboard was also welcome and we had to use it seeing as how it was incredibly cold. The carpet in the main bedroom hasn't been vacuumed recently and maybe that is something that could be paid attention to. The bathroom also needs a bit of attention like the taps above the bath that appears untidy. Otherwise a nice place and we will stay there again for sure.

Dit was heerlik rustig, baie netjies en cozy.

Alhoewel die huisie baie netjies was, was dit onnet buite. Hulle kon die blare gehark het en by die swembad skoongemaak het. Ek weet dit is winter, maar dit voel onversorg en onnet as daar orals blare lê en die swembad is vuil. Jy sien die foto's op die internet en verwag dit moet so mooi en netjies wees. Die foto's skep 'n verwagting, en om dan daar te kom en dis vuil buite, is 'n groot teleurstelling. Hulle sou dit nie adverteer soos wat dit toe gelyk het nie.

It was lovely and peaceful, very neat and cosy.

Even though the house was neat, outside was untidy. They could have raked the leaves and cleaned the pool. I know that it's winter, but it felt unkempt and untidy as there were leaves everywhere and the pool was dirty. You see the photo's on the internet and you expect it to be as pretty and neat. The photos create an illusion and then you get there and it's dirty outside, that was a big disappointment. They would not advertise it the way it looks now.

Goeie ligging en eenheid aan die binnekant.

Die perseel word buite glad nie in stand gehou nie. Die gras was nie eers gesny nie. Binne-in die eenheid is dit wel gerieflik. In die vier dae wat ons daar was is die vuilgoedhouer nooit skoongemaak nie. Hulle het nie een keer gevra of alles in orde is nie. Die plek het wel baie potensiaal as dit reg bestuur word.

Good location and unit on the inside.

The premises are not maintained outside at all. The grass wasn't even cut. Inside the unit it is comfortable. In the four days we were there, the garbage container was never cleaned. Not once did they ask if everything was okay. The place does have a lot of potential if managed properly.

La Galiniere Guest Cottages 's response

I'm sorry your stay did not meet your expectations. Please note that La Galiniere is 3-star self-catering accommodation. We therefore do not promise daily servicing of the cottages - particularly over a weekend. Please also understand that the majority of guests choose our property for the privacy it provides and have no interest in having contact with the owners of staff. Perhaps a 4 or 5 star facility, and a guest house or B&B might be more suitable on a future visit to Franschhoek, so that your expectations are met?

Regarding the grass, we have to keep it fairly long to keep it green - particularly because of the amount of shade around the property.

Dis 'n baie lekker rustige omgewing en die uitsig is pragtig. Ek sal voorstel hulle sit elke dag vars hout in vir die kaggel met genoeg Blitz en reël 'n skoonmaakdiens.

Many thanks for your review Cobus. As we indicate in our guest handbook, we provide one complimentary basket of wood at check in, then ask that guests provide their own wood or pay R40 for each additional basket. Cottages are cleaned at the request of guests - some like the cottages cleaned daily, others prefer not to be disturbed.

The owner could not be contacted.

Building outside was in progress. On a busy road and there is a train right behind the house. Very bad security.

La Galiniere Guest Cottages 's response

Dear Estelle,

I'm sorry that you chose to cut short your stay after your family had left. We always appreciate feedback but I feel some clarity is needed in relation to your comments. We were on vacation when you visited. However, our Cottage Manager was on site during the day, we had a friend house-sitting and were certainly contactable by email or phone. There was no building work taking place - the new guest swimming pool was just waiting to be filled and for safety reasons we placed red and white tape around the pool. Our address is Main Road, Franschhoek (most guests realize that a main road is likely to be fairly busy) and this and a map are clearly indicated on the website. We do not have a train behind the house - it is the Franschhoek Wine Tram. We have never had comments about security before so I'm not really sure what you are referring to. The property is fenced in and German Shepherd dogs roam freely.

Regards,
La Galiniere Guest Cottage management

Daar is als wat mens nodig het in huis om dit aangenaam te maak. Die ligging is ongelooflik; als wat mens wil sien is naby aan La Galiniere. Kan dit met 'n geruste hart aanbeveel.

Die tydperk was aangenaam

Wonderlike verblyf. Sentraal geleë en privaat. Ons het die verblyf baie geniet. Op 'n minder positiewe noot: Die ingangsportaal na die eenheid se mat is vuil. Die honde op die perseel blyk verwaarloos te wees en hulle word elektronies beperk om te blaf wat volgens my 'n vorm van dieremishandeling daarstel. Verder baie aangename verblyf.

The period was pleasant

Wonderful stay. Centrally located and private. We enjoyed the stay very much. On a less positive note: The entrance hall to the unit's carpet is dirty. The dogs on the premises appear to be neglected and they are electronically restrained from barking which I believe constitutes a form of animal abuse. Furthermore, a very pleasant stay.

Waardeer die stilte en privaatheid!

Ek het net een nag daar oornag. Ek het die stilte en privaatheid waardeer - en 'n heerlike plaaslike bottel wyn sonder etiket.

Skoon, netjies,prakties,ruim genoeg,netjiese badkamer,lekker kombuisie.

Aangename kuier in die kothuis. Die eenheid is naby aan die besigheidssenter,maar tog ervaar jy die landskap en natuur. Die kothuis is goed toegerus. Die koffiepoeier was hard en ek dink die houer is nie lugdig nie. Of daar moet geen koffie wees, of beter koffie. Goeie beddegoed, lekker matras. Ek sal die plekkie aanbeveel.

Pleasant stay in the cottage. The unit is close to the business center, yet you experience the landscape and nature. The cottage is well equipped. The coffee powder was hard and I think the container is not airtight. Or there should be no coffee, or better coffee. Good bedding, nice mattress. I would recommend the place.

Wonderful place and surroundings

Wonderful place and surroundings. The dogs were a real bonus. Would recommend it to a friend. The only downside is that the door at the kitchen couldn't lock as there was no key for that door and that is the reason why we give it a 3 star for safety, but overall wonderful place. Which we booked for an additional night (2 nights) instead of one.
