La Galiniere Guest Cottages Description
La Galiniere Guest Cottages are located on a secluded boutique vineyard close to the centre of Franschhoek. Converted workers' accommodation, the three self-catering cottages provide high standard accommodation suitable for an overnight or longer stay. With only three cottages and set back off the main road, La Galiniere is very peaceful and private. It also affords some stunning mountain and vineyard views. The vineyard itself is less than 1Ha in area but the harvest is usually sufficient enough to enable the guests to have a complimentary bottle to try! All three cottages are recently refurbished with high quality fittings and furnishings. The smallest cottage, Shiraz, comprises one bedroom (twin or king size bed), small hallway used as a dining area, bathroom (with shower, basin & toilet) and fully-equipped kitchen. A TV with DSTV is provided in the bedroom. Tea/coffee making facilities are provided. The cottage sleeps two but could also accommodate a baby crib. The other one-bedroom cottage, Cabernet, is considerably larger with having a living room. The cottage comprises one bedroom (double bed), large living room (1 sofa, 1 sofa/bed, TV with DSTV, dining table & four chairs), a fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom (shower over bath, basin & toilet), and tea/coffee making facilities. The cottage can sleep two adults and one child on the sofa bed. It can also accommodate a baby crib, if required. The largest cottage, Merlot, comprises two bedrooms (twin or king size), a living room (2 sofas, TV with DSTV and dining table with four chairs), a fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom (shower over bath, basin & toilet), and tea/coffee making facilities. The cottage can sleep four and can also accommodate a baby crib, if required. Families are welcome and the vineyard has a swimming pool that the guests may use.
