Services & Facilities
Entertainment
Both cottages provide a flat screen TV and DVD Player. With a subscription to DSTV, we provide a wide range of sports and movie channels. For the younger guests, we are able to supply age appropriate DVDs to watch (on request).
Swimming Pool
Both cottages share their own outdoor swimming pool, ideal for cooling off in the summer months. Pool towels are also available in the cottages. The swimming pool is fenced off.
Internet Access
Free Wifi Internet Access is available in both cottages with a speed of up to 2Mbps. Please note that Internet access in a rural location like Franschhoek can sometime be temperamental.
BBQ/Braai Area
As well as the swimming pool, both cottages also share their own BBQ/braai area with seating for up to 8 guests. We ask that guests provide their own wood or charcoal for cooking.
Parking
Laundry Services
La Galiniere does not provide laundry facilities on site. We recommend that guests use the excellent service provided in town by La Laundry (standard and express services available). An iron and ironing board are available on request.
Wine Sales
A complimentary bottle of La Galiniere’s Cabernet Sauvignon is provided for every booking. Additional bottles are available for sale, on request.
Travelling with Children
La Galiniere welcomes families with children of all ages. For our youngest guests, we are able to provide travel cots and high chairs. If parents would like a night out on their own, our Cottage Manager, Rietha is able to provide babysitting services for R150/hour. Please provide as much advance notice as possible.
Grocery Shopping Service
If you’d like us to get you some essential groceries in before your arrival, just send us a shopping list. A R50 service charge applies.
Check In & Check Out
Check in is between 2.00 pm and 5.00 pm and check out time between 8:00 am and 10.00 am. If you would like to check in early or check out late, please let us know and we’ll try to accommodate. Guests who need to arrive after 5:00pm must notify us in advance. Guests not informing us in advance will need to pay a R200 late check-in charge.
Housekeeping
Our cottages are serviced every weekday, although we appreciate that some guests prefer their privacy and don’t need the cottage cleaned everyday. Just let us know when you check in.
Smoking Policy
La Galiniere’s cottages have a no smoking policy. Ashtrays are available outside each cottage.
Pet Policy
La Galiniere has four German Shepherd dogs that roam freely on the farm. We are therefore unable to allow guests with pets to stay with us.
Keeping Warm in Winter
Payment Methods
La Galiniere accepts payments by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, EFT/Wire Transfer and Cash
Water Availability
La Galiniere uses borehole water, so unlike other accommodation facilities, you can be sure that you will not be restricted in your water use during our drought conditions. We do ask, however, that guests use water sparingly. Water is heated using solar power heaters.
