A truly wonderful holiday where we were made to feel really special. We were priviledged to have a 7 night stay at Rickety Bridge and enjoyed every minute. We had one of the three rooms in the Manor of which we were looked after by the most wonderful ladies. We enjoyed lounging around the private pool and a fantastic dinner... More

We would like to thank the very professional and lovely Klarisa for always making us feel so welcome at Rickety Bridge whilst co-ordinating our daughter and her fiance's wedding day. From day one, everything went so smoothly and we cannot thank you enough for everything. The food was superb, the service was amazing, and we can honestly say that you... More

I feel very priviledged to have stayed at this wonderful place. The rooms are a lovely size, with lots of space. Very clean and the beds are very comfy. The staff at the manor are very friendly and very helpful. A truly wonderful place More

We decided to celebrate our anniversary by going away for the weekend. My husband chose Rickety Bridge and I new nothing about it. When we arrived the staff was welcoming and friendly. The view is outstanding. Expecting a fair sized room, I was shocked to see the spacious room and bathroom that we received. Beautiful furnishings, comfortable bed and a... More

Rickety Bridge.This was a lttle taste of heaven. We arrived in the rain, with a dull, dreary outlook. This was despite the typical Cape Dutch homestead. We stayed in the adjoining Basse Provencal and went next door to the winery after a superb breakfast. What were we in for? Wow! I could take a whole Gigabyte to describe the most... More

We ended up staying here by accident when their cheaper manor house was booked out and thanked our lucky stars that we stumbled across such a wonderful place. There were only 3 rooms in the country house each with their own big bathroom, very comfortable bed with beautiful linen and a lovely view out over the vineyards. It was quiet,... More

It is inherent in travellers' reviews I guess, that your perception of the destination is often coloured by your expectations. I had booked this place last minute (2 days before arriving for a 2 night stay) and managed to book a room in a 3 bedroom guesthouse. It is true to say that I was dreading the quality of the... More

Rickety Bridge is a working vineyard which produces some excellent wines. We know .... we tried them! Accommodation in the Burgundy Room in which we stayed was excellent. Very spacious with an adjoining sitting room. Breakfast is made freshly by one of the house staff and served by the pool. Although the restaurant only serves lunch we were provided with... More
