  • Can I pay a deposit? It's mid month, not all 5 of us have all the monies needed for a full payment. But we can do a deposit.
    Thanks for your interest in La Galiniere. We require a 50% deposit to secure bookings of two nights or more, and full-payment for one night bookings.

  • Hi. Do the cottages have 2 bedrooms and a kitchen? Thanks. Theo
    Yes - both cottages have two bedrooms (with a choice of king beds or twin beds). Pinotage cottage has a kitchenette. Merlot Cottage has a larger kitchen.
    Answered on October 18, 2021
  • Good evening Hope all is well My partner has booked for the 16-18 October So we wanted to know if there won't be any sharing of guests on the dates
    Thanks for making contact. I'm afraid, I don't quite understand your question. You and your partner have booked a 2-bedroom cottage. We have one other cottage on the property, which is also being rented out on the same dates.
