“Quintessential thatched Cape Dutch style building dating back to 1855. Comprised of three restored heritage buildings, some featuring in room bathtubs. Outside there is a pool with vineyard vistas and plenty of walking trails. ”

Hotel review

Nestled against the slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains overlooking the majestic Wemmershoek Mountain range, the historic Rickety Bridge Wine estate offers a complete hospitality experience. Accommodation at this Farm Stay consists of Homestead, Jonkershuis, and Cottage which are three beautifully restored heritage buildings with ten elegant guest rooms. The Homestead sits at the heart of the Farm Stay experience, offering three elegant en-suite rooms with bespoke bathrooms, custom contemporary furnishings and a host of thoughtful in-room touches. Breakfast is served indoors or on the terrace overlooking the vineyards, with the Dassenberg Mountain rising beyond. The Jonkershuis, recently renovated throughout, blends its heritage with effortless contemporary style across five en-suite rooms, shared indoor and outdoor spaces, and a sparkling garden pool. The Cottage, newly reimagined on the foundations of a former farm shed, offers two beautifully appointed en-suite rooms that balance rural charm with quiet luxury perfect for friends or family of four.
