Overview of Rickety Bridge Manor House

South Africa, Cape Winelands

Nestled against a picturesque hillside in the Cape Winelands, Rickety Bridge Manor House offers 5-star accommodation in the quaint countryside. Located on a working wine farm, you'll enjoy sublime Estate wine tastings with breathtaking views of the Wemmershoek Mountains. Tradition meets modernity with beautifully decorated suites that exude timeless elegance, complemented by modern amenities.

The manor house is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Franschhoek, offering a secluded retreat while still being close enough to explore the historic town. Franschhoek's Cape Dutch influence is showcased in the grandeur of its architecture, adding to the charm of your stay.

Embark on an exploration of the town's roots by visiting the Huguenot Memorial Museum, or enjoy one of the many hiking trails at Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve. In the summer, you'll be delighted to witness the vibrant pink blooms of the Franschhoek Erica.

Rickety Bridge takes pride in curating a holiday experience that caters to both adults and children. From curated cheese and wine pairings, with non-alcoholic options, to a vegetarian pairing menu at Paulina's Restaurant, there is something for everyone. The manor house is ideal for foodies and wine aficionados, offering a romantic backdrop for a couples' retreat or a restful family holiday.
