Baie netjies en gerieflik naby Middedorp.

Die binne braaiplek en swembad is 'n wenner. Ek sal weer kom kuier.

The indoor braai area and swimming pool are a winner. I will visit again.

Die perfekte wegbreek van die besige stadslewe.

Wonderlike gasvrou. Ek en my verloofde het elke oomblik geniet. Dit was die perfekte wegbreek vir ons. Die privaatheid is fantasties. Ons het waarlik elke sekonde geniet. Dit is pragtig en die stilte is sowaar die beste gedeelte van die hele naweek, asook om die swembad vir onsself te gehad het was 'n bonus.

Wonderful hostess. My fiancé and I enjoyed every moment. It was the perfect getaway for us. The privacy is fantastic. We truly enjoyed every second. It's beautiful and the silence is really the best part of the whole weekend, plus having the pool to ourselves was a bonus.

Bill en Mare, die eienaars is 'n toonbeeld van ware gasvryheid en uiters behulpsaam.

Hierdie is 'n ideale wegbreekplekkie naby aan Kaapstad en sentraal geleë binne stapafstand van die dorpskern van Riebeeck-Kasteel. Bill en Mare het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf so lekker as moontlik te maak. Die inhuis-braaiplek en swembad maak dit geskik om sommer net by die Chick Shack te ontspan en te rus. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly en ek kan die venue met die grootste vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Dankie Bill en Mare vir 'n heerlike naweek.

Bill and Mare, the owners are the epitome of true hospitality and extremely helpful.

This is an ideal getaway close to Cape Town and centrally located within walking distance of the town center of Riebeeck-Kasteel. Bill and Mare went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The in-house barbecue area and swimming pool make it suitable for just relaxing and resting at the Chick Shack. We will definitely stay there again and I can recommend the venue with the greatest confidence. Thank you Bill and Mare for a wonderful weekend.

Rustige wegbreek van die stad se gejaag, stilte en rus op sy beste!

Ons het so tuis gevoel, die braaikamer, laat mens voel asof jy uitkamp, maar tog nog steeds binnenshuis is, die kamer is baie snoesig in die winter.

We travel a lot. In SA and abroad. Chic Shack is just in a different league. Especially our chalet: Love Life. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, with the springbuck almost in your backyard. We lacked nothing! The chalet is spotless, the bedding perfect and last, but not least, our landlord and lady just awesome! We will definitely go back!

Wonderful, comfortable place to stay in Riebeek Kasteel

We had such a wonderful stay at Chic Shack. The cottage was so comfortable, with the air conditioning and a pool. We felt so welcomed and so at home. Wonderful bed, great linen, and all the amenities you could want. Just a short walk down the road and you're in the centre of town. Close to all the restaurants and galleries. But yet the rooms are beautifully quiet with a wonderful open field behind them for a pretty outlook. We will definitely be back!

Pleasantly surprised but unfortunate timing.

We happened to pass through while there was some sort of tournament in town. The owner informed us of this upon making our booking and advised that we make a reservation for dinner beforehand. This was thoughtful and appreciated. We were so impressed by everything that was provided in our room. There was even washing powder and pegs. And cutlery and dishes even though its not really a self-catering room. Lovely personal touches everywhere. WiFi didn’t work though, even after they restarted the modem. Unfortunately the owner was not in town and had someone else stand in for her. Everything went smoothly until we were woken at 01:00 by noises in the main house that lasted way too long for us to get any decent sleep. In the morning at around 08:30 we wanted to check out but there was no one around and no reaction to phone calls or the bell. We had to hide the key somewhere and left them a message of where to find it. We were quite annoyed at this stage by everything and doubt that we will return, which is unfortunate because it’s a nice place.

Kwaliteit en aandag aan detail plus 'n uitstekende gasvrou maak dit 'n volpunte-akkommodasie.

Alles in die woonstel getuig van kwaliteit en 'n kunstige hand. Die ekstras soos beskuit, badprodukte, tissues en handgemaakte koppies maak dit 'n luukse ervaring. Die gasvrou het daarin geslaag om 'n gesellige en pragtig plekkie te skep sowel as om ons vriendelik te ontvang en welkom te laat voel.
