Rickety Bridge Estate sits where the Franschhoek River meets the slopes of Dassenberg Mountain, a place shaped by centuries of careful hands and quiet dedication. Dating back to 1855, the building's original Huguenot style has been faithfully restored, with a blend of traditional Cape country living and modern facilities offering the sort of comfort you dream about. The Farm Stay consist of Homestead, Jonkershuis, and Cottage which are three beautifully restored heritage buildings with ten elegant guest rooms. This beautiful estate has rolling lawns dotted with centuries-old oak trees overlooking the vineyards, with the dramatic ridge of the Franschhoek Mountains as the backdrop.
