The silence has a welcome presence for guests at the Rickety Bridge Manor House. You might hear the heartbeat of history as it caresses you to sleep. Lie still in the stylishly renovated 19th century rooms of this beautiful Franschhoek guest house, it's easy to do. With every luxury of a four-star hotel, the three en-suite rooms also offer the comforting pleasures of home.

Every detail has been considered in this Franschhoek luxury accommodation; classic Cape Dutch furniture, a fire-warmed lounge and country kitchen. Dramatic yellow-wood beamed ceilings and pine floors polished with layers of history.

Our friendly, personalised approach ensures your experience is pleasurable in every way. Let us serve your breakfast in our quaint breakfast room or, if you prefer, by the side of the swimming pool set in purple-mountain surroundings.    

All rooms have air conditioning, underfloor heating, satellite television, mini bars, tea and coffee facilities, hairdryers, irons and ironing boards and free wi fi connectivity.

Rickety Bridge is an enchanting Franschhoek wine estate that offers a new delight with every visit. Taste our celebrated wines on leather fireside couches. Enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch on a sunny deck stretching into the vines, and discover one certainty. During every moment spent on this side of the bridge, you won't want to be anywhere else in the world.

Rickety Bridge now offers the opportunity to enjoy the fine wine and cuisine of the Franschhoek valley while enjoying the comfort, luxury, hospitality and splendour of Rickety Bridge and Basse Provence estates.

Choose from a selection of 3 course menus which change regularly to include fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Indulge in  a true taste experience by pairing each course with a carefully chosen RicketyBridge wine to complement the flavour and flair of each dish.

Exclusive dinners need to be booked in advance. Please enquire about current menu and prices when you make your reservation.
