Farm Stay at Rickety Bridge

The Farm Stay at Rickety Bridge is a beautiful establishment nestled beside the Franschhoek River. It is the sister establishment to Rickety Bridge Manor House. The 1855 thatched Farm Stay at Rickety Bridge and the adjacent Country House have undergone a complete renewal, blending traditional heritage with modern luxury.

Farm Stay – Homestead

3 Rooms | 6 Guests

The Homestead is your arrival point for your Farm Stay experience – a sensitively restored and completely refurbed Cape escape. Once the original dwelling on a werf that dates back to 1855, downstairs you’re invited to enjoy daily farm breakfasts in the sun splashed Breakfast Room or on the Terrace if you prefer, while our Lounge is a comfortable and welcoming space to linger before or after your farm and Franschhoek valley adventures.

There are three en-suite rooms in the Homestead – two luxury rooms & one suite. Vineyard views and vistas of the nearby Dassenberg Mountain ensure an immersion into the calm and beauty that has delighted visitors for centuries. Each room features a bespoke en-suite bathroom, custom designed contemporary furniture and decorative details and a host of luxe in-room spoils. After a day spent exploring, downtime at the pool across the werf is a delight.

The Homestead is available for individual room or group bookings.

No matter the season there is always activity here on the farm, however your privacy remains paramount. You may hear tractors in the distance some mornings and if you’re really lucky, the call of our resident Barn Owls at night.

Farm Stay – Jonkershuis

5 Rooms | 10 Guests

Recently renovated and refurbished throughout, this standalone building marries its history with effortless contemporary style. Aside from the five en-suite rooms, there are a number of peaceful, shared spaces (both indoors and out) for whiling away the time, as well as a sparkling pool in the garden.

Each room in Jonkershuis has unspoilt beautiful farm, vineyard and mountain views, a custom designed en-suite bathroom, contemporary décor details and a slew of thoughtful in-room spoils. Your daily breakfast is served in the nearby Homestead and you’re welcome to make yourself at home, have a drink and catch up with fellow guests in the Lounge.

Jonkershuis operates on an individual room basis. Group bookings by arrangement. In the summer months, you’re welcome to wander over to the pool for a dip or afternoon sundowner.

Farm Stay – The Cottage

2 Rooms | 4 Guests

Newly built on the foundations of a former farm shed, this inviting cottage embraces its past while oozing contemporary rural charm. There are two impeccably decorated and designed en-suite rooms here – each a welcoming haven of calm and luxury.

Daily breakfasts are held in the Homestead and there is a cosy central Lounge, stocked with drinks and home-from-home comforts. Like all accommodation included in The Farm Stay, your charming bolthole has stunning vineyard and Dassenberg mountain views and both rooms include bespoke en-suite bathrooms, chic décor details and luxury amenities. In the summer months, you’re welcome to wander over to the pool for a dip or afternoon sundowner.

The Cottage operates on an individual room basis. Group bookings by arrangement.
