Property information

Basse Provence Guest House in Franschhoek is the four star sister accommodation to Rickety Bridge, situated across the Franschhoek River on the neighbouring estate. This 1855 thatched Cape Dutch Manor house and neighbouring Country House have been totally refurbished, blending traditional Huguenot heritage with stylish modern luxury. With views of a vine-green valley and ageless mountains with no beginning or end, guests have described the personal service, attention to detail and pure relaxation as 'heaven on earth'. Basse Provence has 8 en-suite luxury rooms and 1 two-bedroomed cottage, which is the ideal accommodation for families on holiday in Franschhoek, heart of the Cape Winelands.

The community is always friendly and ready to give you advice to find authentic Franschhoek experiences. If you're adventurous then grab your mountain bikes and hit the slopes of the Franschhoek Valley. If you are not too sure about what you would like to do for the day; speak to our reception desk and they will give you tailored advice to suit your style of activity.
