Id get on a plane and fly to south Africa only to go to rickety bridge for their fantastic onion and chili jam. Once You have tried a bit of that, the wines just won't matter. Go buy a few jars and take them home. You won't regret it. More

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
