The owners were lovely. They have set up the extention to their brick garages as the most delightful self catering bungalow. They have tried to think of everything and I think they have succeeded! Chic Shack is also given exclusive use of a plunge pool and delightful garden with furniture which adjoins a field of springbok and a lovely view of the mountain. On top of that it is very close to the centre of the village. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose Chic Skack if we return.

Valerie United Kingdom

We booked a smaller room but the owner offered us the compfy family cottage as it was available. Beautiful place to relax and spend some days. The self cater cottage is very well equiped. Would choose this accomodation any time again.

Ulrike South Africa

Everything was amazing. Numerous areas to take advantage of, beautiful inside/outside lounge for morning tea (with amazing rusks) and close to a couple great wine shops, that we enjoyed in the backyard whilst watching the sun set behind the mountain.

Nathan South Africa

Will recommend and go back. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Karin South Africa

The hosts are warm and friendly. The room had lots of little extras that was unexpected but made it just so much more comfortable. Its really close to the quaint town centre. Perfect place for a breakaway.

Magriet South Africa

We loved the garden cottage - and the people. the cottage was full of lovely surprises! the host and hostess are kind and caring people. Thank you!

John South Africa

Perfect stay. Well appointed. Could’ve easily stayed longer. Will do so next year. Perfect base to work from for the Riebeeck / Tulbagh area.

Rudi South Africa

The cottage was so central that we could walk everywhere. It had everything we needed. The indoor barbeque made it ideal for a colder stay. Thank you for the warm welcome. We will definitely recommend it to others.

Paul South Africa

Crisp white linnen, lovely range toiletries,immaculate private garden and pool area, clean bathroom and well equiped kitchen.

Ronel South Africa

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the place with it's beautiful garden. Chic Shack is in walking distance of many delightful restaurants, Pick n Pay, and other craft stores.

new improved pool and view

new improved pool and view

Aptly named, Chic Shack has an easy-going, rustic appeal, carefully enhanced by quality touches and contemporary decor. The cottage has one bedroom with a queen-size bed, a dressing room with wardrobe and full-length mirror single bed to put luggage on, well-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower. Air-conditioning in the bedroom, DSTV, fans, hairdryer and free Wi-Fi make for a comfortable stay. Set in a lovely garden, with palm trees, it borders onto a field with Springbok with the imposing Kasteelberg as a backdrop. A beautiful blue reflecting swimming pool and two shaded. patios provide spaces to enjoy the outdoors. THE BLISS ROOM, with four poster bed is separate from the cottage and attached to the main house with private entrance security and parking in front of the room. Bliss ROOM have reception seating area and garden seating, BUT THE VIEW OF THE BUCK FOR THE COTTAGE ONLY Also BRAAI area only for the cottage. Bliss room have a small fridge DSTV WIFI AIRCON FAN coffee and tea included with kettle to use. Extra basin in bedroom for washing cups. Own private and spacious bathroom shower only. Luggage racks. Any questions you welcome to send a message.

This property is run by a husband and wife team. Bill and Maré. We like to welcome our guests give them information about Riebeek Kasteel. The best complement we get is when guests return to stay at Chic Shack. Our Hobbies is walking and cycling on electric bikes. We retired Bill is very good at keeping the pool clean for our guests. You will also find this accommodation private even with the owners living on site.

You will find two restuarants within walking distance 50m from this property no need to drive, best coffee roasters 50m from us serving breakfast from 7 am. The view from the cottage (not the Bliss room) have springBuck roaming in the field. You can view this thru the bedroom window or the shaded sunset Lapa come and experience this for yourself. The BlISS ROOM ( room with four poster bed) is room only with kettle and small hotel fridge also white couch for seating. This room is best if going to a function and you only need to sleep over for the night. This room is totally seprate from the cottage. but a party of 4 can book both places and then enjoy the pool together and the braai fisilities the cottage offer.
