Great family stay.

We had a wonderful weekend at Shadowlands. The pool and dam were fabulous in the heat and the hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating. It's a great base from which to explore the area.

Heerlik en die stilte is hemels!

Dit was ideaal, veral omdat ons vroeg in De Rust moes wees vir die run. Oulike, skoon en gerieflike huisie. Anton het ons welkom laat voel en graag gehelp. Baie dankie!

Lekker veilig en privaat.

Die huisie waarin ons gebly het is pragtig, netjies en goed toegerus. Ons het die stilte baie geniet. Die eienaar kan dalk net sterker liggies of lampie verskaf vir tydens beurtkrag. Ons het gesukkel in die donker om kos te probeer maak.

Nice and secure and private.

The house we stayed in is beautiful, neat and well equipped. We really enjoyed the silence. The owner may only be able to provide stronger lights or lamps for load shedding. We struggled in the dark trying to make food.

Ideaal vir natuurliefhebbers.

A.g.v. die droogte was daar nie water in die rivier nie maar die watergat was heerlik om op te roei. Pragtige omgewing en baie rustig.

Baie rustige atmosfeer, kinders het lekker rondgeharldloop, gespeel en geswem.

Blyblek was mooi, skoon en netjies, die gasvrou en gasheer, baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Binnekant van kothuis is baie old school. Ou boks TV met gedeelde DStv, maar as jy rustigheid van 'n plaasatmosfer soek in 'n skoon en gereflike blyplek, absuluut die regte plek. Die kinders het dit baie geniet.

Very peaceful atmosphere, children had fun running around, playing and swimming.

Blyblek was nice, clean and tidy, the hostess and host, very friendly and helpful. Interior of cottage is very old school. Old box TV with shared DStv, but if you are looking for the tranquility of a farm atmosphere in a clean and comfortable place to stay, absolutely the right place. The kids enjoyed it a lot.

Asemrowend mooi plek met lekker gasvrye eienaars.

Die kinders (4 en 1) het gedink hulle is in die hemel. Ons het gaan roei op die dam, geswem, pouvere opgetel en TV gekyk voor slaaptyd. Betsi en Anton is dierbare mense wat regtig 'n stukkie hemel op aarde geskep het.

#Uncomplicated.

Wat 'n verrassing het op ons gewag na ons aankoms by Shadowland. Die cottage is pop-mooi! En die uitsig vat omtrent jou asem weg. Dit was 'n unieke ervaring - ons kan nie wag om weer daar te kuier nie!

Ons het 'n week by Shadowlands gebly gedurende KKNK 2015.

Die akkommodasie is ruim, skoon en netjies met braaigeriewe en ontspanningsarea pragtig ingerig. Anton en Betsie het ons baie tuis laat voel. Die jongmense het die kanovaart baie geniet en my man en ek die rustigheid en pragtige omgewing. Ons beveel Shadowlands heelhartig aan. Dit is waarde vir geld met gasvryheid en hartlikheid in 'n pragtige omgewing.

It is value for money with hospitality and warmth in a beautiful setting.
