Pragtig en rustig.

Dis 'n lekker blyplek met 'n asemrowende uitsig uit al die leefvertrekke. Eersterivier strand is baie afgeleë, so dit is ideaal as jy wil wegbreek van die stad.

Beautiful and peaceful.

It's a nice place to stay with a breathtaking view from all the living rooms. Eersterivier beach is very remote, so it's ideal if you want to get away from the city.

Panoramic views. Beautiful house. Quiet. Not pet-friendly.

Surrounded by wilderness and forest, so lots of creepy crawlies.

Stunning! Magnificent, unblocked views of the coves and ocean.

Shick Shack is well designed and well equipped, with a dishwasher and wifi too! The sound of the sea reminds you of how close you are to the rocks and beach - less than a 5-minute walk to swim in a cove. Great for relaxing and entertaining. Cannot think of any negatives!

Not very well maintained.

Our stay at Shick Shack was pleasant, but not sure we will be coming back anytime soon. The location and proximity to the ocean is ideal and the beds are very comfortable, but that’s where it stopped for us. The place is rather run-down and has a lot of rust throughout. Most of the sea-facing locks are rusted which makes them difficult to open/close, lock and unlock. The main stacking doors to the terrace are so rusted that they have come off their hinges completely.   As a result they needed to be opened by an adult each time to avoid the kids being injured if they happened to come off. Thankfully they didn't. The sliding door lock downstairs in the left bedroom is so rusted that it can’t be locked.   As a result we couldn't put the kids in there as someone could have come in at any time. Not too safe. The water pressure and showers were really great, but we were rather put off by the heavily mouldy shower heads in both upstairs showers. The lounge light switch is faulty and did not always turn on. When they did come on, a somewhat concerning cracking sound came from the inside of the switch. Whilst there was a wifi code, the wifi did not work. The instructions say that if we wanted to watch TV that we would bring our own decoder. Which we did because we wanted to watch the SA vs NZ rugby game. But there is no TV in the house so I'm not sure where they intended for us to plug the decoder into. Very disappointing and we had to make other plans to go out to catch the game. The carpet in the main bedroom appears to have been soiled by (what I can only suspect is) a small dog, and not cleaned very well. Obvious brown stains on the gray carpets. We certainly appreciate that a home like this is difficult to maintain, however, we get the sense that it is not being taken care of and being left to decay as time goes by. I do think this can all be fixed if the owners put some love into what I am sure was once a really beautiful, well-loved home. 3/10 I’m afraid.

Stukkie hemel op aarde.

Dis regtig 'n stukkie hemel op aarde. Gerieflik met alles wat mens nodig het. Nie 'n groot swemstrand nie, so hierdie is meer 'n rus vir die siel tipe plek. Daar is wel 'n paar plekkies waar mens toegang tot die strandjies kry. Ongelooflike mooi uitsig. Ons sal definitief weer gaan. So 'n lekker plaasgevoel. Al negatief was dat die skoonmaker 'n uur en 'n half voor uitkloktyd voor die deur gestaan het om skoon te maak want daar was nuwe gaste op pad.

Piece of heaven on earth.

It really is a piece of heaven on earth. Comfortable with everything one needs. Not a big swimming beach so this is more of a rest for the soul type of place. There are a few places where you can access the beaches. Unbelievably beautiful view. We will definitely go again. Such a nice farm feel. All negative was that the cleaner stood in front of the door an hour and a half before check-out time to clean because there were new guests on their way.

Fantastiese uitsig. Uitstekend toegerus. Baie skoon gerieflike eenheid. Geen TV. Geen ditekte strandtoegang vanaf huis. 10 km-grondpad om by Shick Shack uit te kom.

Het baie gerieflik gebly. Mooiste uitsig oor die see. Baie rustig hier. Ongelukkig was die strand se sand weggespoel toe ons daar was, maar kan in elk geval nie direk voor die huis af stap strand toe nie. Dis nogal ver van Stormsrivier af. Slegs 'n basiese padstal vir kosvoorraad 10 km uit op grondpad.

Fantastic view. Excellently equipped. Very clean comfortable unit. No TV. No direct beach access from home. 10 km dirt road to get to Shick Shack.

Had a very comfortable stay. Most beautiful view of the sea. Very quiet here. Unfortunately, the beach's sand was washed away when we were there, but in any case, you can't walk down to the beach directly in front of the house. It's quite far from Storms River. Only a basic paddock for food supply 10km out on dirt road.

Baie skoon en netjies. Geen TV - nie dat dit ons gepla het nie. Braai-area agter die huisie aan die pad se kant. Skitterend ingerig!

Hemels lekker.

Huis is baie goed toegerus en ruim. En suite se wasbak het so bietjie gesukkel om water te laat uitloop en die skottelgeodmasjien kan nie toegaan nie. Deure se skarniere en slotte is geroes, en lyk of dit een van die dae probleme sal gee.

House is very well equipped and spacious. En suite's sink had a bit of trouble draining water and the dishwasher won't close. Door hinges and locks are rusted, and look like they will give trouble one of these days.

Ideale, rustige wegbreek.

Dit is werklik presies wat die naam sê: 'n Shick Shack. Ons is gevra om handdoeke en skoonmaakmiddels saam te neem, maar alles was voorsien. Daar is egter geen TV alhoewel webwerf sê jy kan eie dekodeerder saamneem. Die uitsig is fantasties en maak beslis die besoek die moeite werd. Daar is verskeie strandjies baie naby waar jy rustig op sand of rotse kan sit en na die branders staar.

Ideal, peaceful getaway.

It really is exactly what the name says: a Shick Shack. We were asked to take towels and cleaning products with us, but everything was provided. However, there is no TV although the website says you can bring your own decoder. The view is fantastic and definitely makes the visit worthwhile. There are several small beaches very close by where you can sit quietly on sand or rocks and stare at the waves.

Pragtige plek groot ruimte en rustige atmosfeer.

Shick Shack woning is pragtig gemeubileer, rustige strandhuis atmosfeer. Groot ruimte en gesellige dek en woonarea. Lekker wegbreek vir 'n naweek. Sal definitief die plekkie aanbeveel aan my vriende en familie en definitief weer daar gaan bly. Ons het my ma saam geneem vir 'n lekker naweek weg van ons besige lewens, sal definitief weer gaan en die keer saam met ons huisvriende met genoeg blyplek vir twee gesinne, ons het net die boonste vlak gebruik toe ons gegaan het.

Beautiful place big space and peaceful atmosphere.

Shick Shack home is beautifully furnished, peaceful beach house atmosphere. Great space and cozy deck and living area. Nice getaway for a weekend. Will definitely recommend the place to my friends and family and will definitely stay there again. We took my mum along for a nice weekend away from our busy lives, will definitely go again and this time with our housemates with enough room for two families, we only used the top level when we went.

Just beautiful/

After travelling South Africa from Cape Town all the way to Addo for about 10 days, we decided to spend a few days of relaxation at Shick Shack. All we can say is that is was the perfect venue for a few days of mindful wellness. Fortunately the weather was beautiful too, which just gave it everything it needed to be happy. If you are in for a few days of relaxation and you like great views of the ocean, big waves, rocks and whales "dancing" in the ocean it is thee perfect place to be.
