Galenia Estate

Beautiful estate located in a valley between rocky mountains with a view on Montagu. The central lodge, as well as the individual houses that accommodate the rooms are well appointed; the welcome was very warm and hospitable. Diner is in a sunny room overlooking the dam and the olive trees and delicious; also the breakfast buffet is charmingly laid out and complemented by a choice of hot dishes. The early morning guided tour is recommended. The hotel has a lovely swimming pool and beautiful gardens. Montagu is a nice town with historic buildings.

From the moment the reservation was confirmed by Chrisma (Assistant Estate Manager), my wife and just new that this was going to be an unforgettable and most memorable visit ever - the rooms are worthy of the 5* rating and offers above average amenities - the views from all the rooms are reminding of a village in Switzerland - the service is perfect and Chrisma, one of those hospitality members that will exhaust all avenues to contribute to a comfortable visit - this lady is truly among the best ever experienced - it would be great if more of her type can be visible in some other properties - our host Charles in the restaurant is likely the most knowledgeable and able to guide you around the different offerings of the surrounding areas - the chef too is simply the best - a highly recommended property for those with an appreciation for the finer things in life - will certainly return when next down in Cape Town, South Africa.

A real find in a stunning location. An absolute find in this beautiful part of the Karoo. The atmosphere and style is that of a traditional Game Lodge. The food is excellent with a team to match. There are several designated walks within the estate for all levels of ability. The one thing we noticed is how immaculately clean the whole place was, with the pool being the cleanest we've experienced throughout our travels in SA. The only downside is that there is no A/C in the bedrooms (there's a ceiling fan), which can make it a little hot during the night. I guess one could open the windows and allow the air in, but the mosquitos tend to come along too.

Lovely estate with excellent service A lovely stay in a beautiful estate! Very comfortable accommodation, beautiful surroundings, and excellent food, served with a smile :-) Small gestures, like the self-made Limoncello, were much appreciated.

Quel ravissant lieu, reposant, calme ou tout est pensé pour votre bien être. Une décoration parfaite dans le moindre détail. Une table très raffinée et un personnel au petit soin. Merci beaucoup pour ces quelques jours votre établissement mérite vraiment le détour !

Beautiful location yet easy access from the main road. Lovely room. Lovely food. Lovely staff. Highly recommended.
