RICKETY BRIDGE MANOR HOUSE
Guest House Accommodation
in Franschhoek, Cape Winelands,
Western Cape, South Africa
Franschhoek, a beautiful valley in the heart of the Cape Winelands, is considered by many as the gourmet capital of South Africa. This extraordinary town boasts breath-taking scenery, warm hospitality, world class cuisine and the finest wines - a valley rich in history centered around a picturesque village of friendly, welcoming people.
Situated on the outskirts of Franschhoek, nestled against the hillside and overlooking the vineyards and magnificent mountains is the Rickety Bridge Manor House. This historic Cape Dutch manor house has given visitors a welcome rest stop for nearly two centuries. The views of unsurpassed splendour, lush surroundings and fresh air of the Franschhoek Valley offer a unique and memorable experience. Our friendly, personalised approach ensures your experience is
pleasurable in every way.
Every detail of the Rickety Bridge Manor House has been carefully considered; classic Cape Dutch furniture, fire-warmed lounge and country kitchen. Dramatic yellow-wood beamed ceilings and pine floors polished in tales of the past. During renovations in 1995, modern facilities were introduced while priceless antique pieces representing the best of indigenous Cape furniture throughout the
ages were carefully preserved. Recent refurbishments include modern day artwork by local artists which adorn the walls of this beloved home comfortably blending contemporary with classic and resulting in a tranquil, inviting atmosphere.
3 double rooms with en suite bathrooms are luxurious and tastefully decorated with all the luxuries one would expect of a four star establishment complemented with the comforting pleasures of home - Cable/Satellite TV, minbars, aircons, underfloor heating and heated towel rails. Bathrobes, premium bedding, extra linen & towels, hairdryer, in room safe, separate tub and shower make this smoke free property comfortable for all our guests. While the Manor House itself is smoke free, guests are welcome to use of the verandah overlooking the panoramic views of the Wemmershoek Mountains.
Breakfast is served in our quaint breakfast room or, if you prefer, around the swimming pool set in
a breathtaking mountain backdrop. Taste our award winning wines on leather fireside couches. Indulge in a gourmet picnic basket at the Restaurant in the Vines on a sundrenched wooden deck stretching from the winery into the heart of the vines.
Whatever the reason, whatever the season, a stay in our luxury accommodation, just a stones throw away from SA's Gourmet Capital, will still your mind and rejuvenate your soul. Leaving will be your only disappointment.
