Basse Provence Guest House in Franschhoek is the four star sister accommodation to Rickety Bridge, situated across the Franschhoek River on the neighbouring estate.

This 1855 thatched Cape Dutch Manor house and neighbouring Country House have been totally refurbished, blending traditional Huguenot heritage with stylish modern luxury.

With views of a vine-green valley and ageless mountains with no beginning or end, guests have described the personal service, attention to detail and pure relaxation as 'heaven on earth'.

Basse Provence has 7 en-suite rooms and one two bedroomed cottage, which is the ideal accommodation for families on holiday in Franschhoek.

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.

In addition to luxury accommodation, Basse Provence also has a small conference room suitable for up to 15 delegates.

Please contact Basse Provence for more information on family room options.

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.
