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!

Panoramic views. Beautiful house. Quiet. Not pet-friendly. Surrounded by wilderness and forest, so lots of creepy crawlies.

Beautiful views, and very relaxing. Had a wonderful time, didn't want to leave.

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.
