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.
United KingdomWe 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.
South AfricaEverything 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.
South AfricaWill recommend and go back. Perfect for a weekend getaway.
South AfricaThe 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.
South AfricaWe 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!
South AfricaPerfect stay. Well appointed. Could’ve easily stayed longer. Will do so next year. Perfect base to work from for the Riebeeck / Tulbagh area.
South AfricaThe 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.
