Shanks Farmstay

Heerlike, netjiese, rustige verblyf.

Heerlike verblyf in 'n netjiese, skoon en rustige eenheid, wat goed toegerus is. Vriendelike, sorgsame gasvrou. Dankie vir die heerlike bederfies.

Cosy and comfortable.

South African hospitality at its best!

Rustig, skoon, netjies en pragtige omgewing.

Baie lekker plek. Alles is baie netjies en skoon. Nie te ver van die pad nie. Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan bly.

Netjies, skoon, gerieflik.

Netjies, skoon en gerieflik, vriendelike en verwelkomende ontvangs. 1 aand oorgebly - besigheidstrip. Die vetkoek en mince was 'n groot verrassing met aankoms - baie dankie!

A welcoming, charming, cozy and comfortable cottage.

A very warm welcome by the host. A charming, cozy and comfortable cottage in a lovely setting. Will definitely be back again.

Perfek vir my oorslaap doel.

Alles wat ek nodig gehad het en meer.

Veilig, rustig en ongelooflike gasvryheid!

Ek is so bly dat ons by Shanks oorgebly het en dit is nou ons go-to vir toekomstige besoeke! Uitstekende ligging van Steynsburg en ongelooflike gasvryheid van Maureen en Chris. Veilige, salige plekkie met al die geriewe wat jy nodig het!

Great hospitality and good facilities. Evening meal superb.

A most pleasant stay on a farm outside Steynsburg. Hospitality is great with a superb evening meal. Highly recommended for an overnight or longer stay.

Heerlike aandete.

Uitstekende oornagverblyf, stil en gerieflik.

Absolute vrede en rustigheid met pragtige natuurskoon.

Ons het op 'n baie koue dag aangekom en die gasheer het ons vriendelik ontvang en daar het reeds 'n verwarmer gebrand binne in die huisie. Die huisie was baie netjies en skoon en als wat jy maar kan dink was daar om te gebruik met die klein detail soos sjampoo in die stort. Ons kon vrylik rondstap op die plaas. Dit is 'n werkende skaapplaas en ons was daar midde in die lamtyd.

Well worth the visit.

We arrived later than planned and were warmly welcomed. The cooked meal was delicious. Very comfortable accommodation.

Vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Sal definitief weer daar oorslaap in die toekoms.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die eenhede was silwerskoon en netjies. Daar was 'n generator aangesit tydens beurtkrag en ekstras soos koekies vir die kinders.

Great value for money and a marvellous experience. Highly recommended.

We arrived early but this was no problem to the host, and my travelling companion wanted her own room, this too was no problem to our hostess. Though in the end we just occupied one unit, which did in fact provide us with 2 separate rooms to sleep in. This farm was classically South African, providing many photo opportunities for me to send home to the UK. The accommodation was all we needed and more, set in beautiful gardens with gorgeous purple roses round the door and a bowl of roses on the table. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed or could want, rusks and delicious biscuits in jars as well, to cap the pleasure of our experience. The host gave us a delicious supper, and we had an excellent night's rest before heading out the next morning to our next destination.

Comfortable beds and a great stopover on our way to the Transkei.

Perfect for our self-catering needs and we slept warmly on a very cold Eastern Cape winter's night.

Heerlike plaasverblyf.

Gerieflike kamer met warm beddegoed en verwarmers. Ons het heerlik geslaap en gebly.

Rustig op die plaas.

Skoon, vriendelike host, lekker oorslaapplek.

Very convenient and comfortable stay!

Our host was very helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable and offered everything that we required. We had a nice braai in the stunning garden. It is definitely an overnight stop that we will use again. We also stopped in at the butcher in Steynsburg, which was a good bit of local knowledge!

Netjies, skoon en is vriendelik ontvang.

Netjiese skoon verblyf en veilig. Pragtige omgewing. Het ons dadelik tuis laat voel en ons bederf met heerlike beskuit ens.

A great stop over.

We enjoyed our stop over at Shanks Farmstay. We were travelling to Great Brak from Durban, and it was a great place to stop. We enjoyed some delicious lamb and koeksisters for dinner. The continental breakfast (rusks, cereal, yoghurt, filter coffee, and juice) was very helpful as we didn't want to drive to find supplies in the town.

Lovely overnight stop.

Beautiful views, very comfortable accommodation.

Op pad oornag.

Netjiese woonstel met alles wat nodig is, lieflike, stil plaas-omgewing en mooi tuin om in te kuier. Kon gaan stap op die plaas saam met die energieke hond!

Perfekte halfpad-herberg.

Baie vriendelike diens, mooi skoon en netjies. Die plaasstilte sorg vir 'n goeie nagrus om die pad weer verfris aan te vat.

Shanks Farmstay is a beautiful, special place and Maureen a wonderful host.

We thoroughly enjoyed the overnight stay at Shanks - the farm and surroundings are stunning and the accommodation and food equally great.

It was simply delightful!

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. The accommodation is tasteful, thoughtfully done and very comfortable. Our hostess couldn't have been more caring - a perfect last night to our holiday. Perfection situated between the Cape and Natal.

Lovely place, conveniently situated.

I'd like to go back for a longer visit than my quick overnight stop between CPT and PMB.

Baie netjiese en vriendelike verblyf.

Op ons 1470 km fiets toer vanaf Witbank na Mosselbaai was die rus by Shanks 'n hoogtepunt. Ons was hartlik verwelkom en al die geriewe was puik. Morene het ons op die hande gedra en self ons gehelp met ons fietsry klere te was, dit word opreg waardeer. Heerlike plaas aandete en ontbyt het ons baie bederf.

Safe and stunning.

We were accommodated with all our requests and nothing was any problem for our hosts. The cottage was perfect with TV, aircon and lovely extras (fresh buns, milk and tea and coffee). Highly recommended for family as well.

Waarde vir geld, heerlike kos.

Verblyf was skoon en netjies. Aandete en ontbyt was baie lekker.

A good, quiet overnight stop for a family.

Our hostess was very accommodating and went out of her way to assist us with fridge and freezer space for the contents of our 2 cooler boxes. We were informed that the table top oven/hotplates appliance had recently burned out and was soon to be replaced, so cooking was restricted to the microwave. Accommodation is fine for an overnight family stay.

Comfortable infrastructure, unexpectedly noisy.

The farm is well situated and easy to get to. Maureen is very welcoming and contacted us beforehand. The infrastructure does not really cater for easy self-catering. One of the dogs howled on and off through the night. I did not have a restful nights sleep. It was not what I expected. I did try to call Maureen about the dog but the call went straight to voicemail.

Rustige oorblyplek.

Vriendelike ontvangs. Goed toegeruste selfsorgeenheid en pragtige tuin met baie voëllewe.

Heerlik ontspannend.

Pragtige plaas. Gasvry. Heerlike bord boerekos aandete op versoek. Kinders het die hanslammers geniet. Die kamers en geriewe is groter en beter as wat fotos laat blyk. Aan te beveel.

Maureen was a superb hostess for whom nothing was too much trouble.

A very peaceful place.

Excellent, good food, safe.

It was nice to stay somewhere out of the towns in this area, safe and homely.

Rustig met alles wat jy nodig het.

Aangename ontvangs. Die kamer is ruim en goed toegerus met alles wat benodig word.

Baie tuis.

Na 'n lang dag op die pad was dit 'n baie lekker oornagplek. Groen gras vir die kinders om te hardloop. Het baie tuis gevoel. Baie dankie.

Goeie keuse!

Wat 'n heerlike verrassing na 'n stresvolle rit en hele dag op die pad! Gesellig, skoon en lekker ruim. Het heerlik gebly!

Netjies, absolute gemoedrus en baie moeite gedoen.

Ons het baie lekker by Shanksfarm gebly. Dit was netjies, genoeg voorsiening vir hitte as dit koud is saans en selfs ekstra moeite om vir ons ontbyt te voorsien al het ons douvoor dag reeds begin ry. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Baie lekker gewees.

Baie lekker gewees. Perfek vir oornagstop. Die kos wat bedien was, was uitstekend.

Baie aangenaam en stil.

'n Gerieflike oornag slaapplek.

Country living.

Beautiful setting in the country. Accommodation was suitable and comfortable. Breakfast was scrumptious. Perfect for a stop over.

Lekker plaasomgewing.

Die akkommodasie was skoon en netjies en gerieflik.

Baie aangenaam. Lekker etes. Gerieflike kamer.

Aangename verblyf en ontvangs. Aandetes word aangebied, en geen restaurant sal daarby kan kersvashou nie. Die plaas is buite Steynsburg, en dit tel tot sy voordeel.

Dit was heerlik, gasvry en pragtig.

Die kamers is pragtig netjies en keurig versorg. Die tuin is groot en ideaal vir jong kinders met baie energie. Die kos is ware boerekos met baie liefde en smaak. Ons sal beslis weer daar oorbly.

Relaxed, comfortable, hospitable.

Country hospitality at it's best. Lovely clean room, comfortable bed. Will recommend without reservation.

'n Rustige nag na 'n heerlike aandete.

Daar heers 'n rustige atmosfeer vir mense wat lekker wil rus na 'n hele dag op die pad. Die aandete en ontbyt was besonder lekker. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik. Daar was genoeg warm water en beddegoed vir die koue buite. Die kamer was gerieflik en skoon. Al klagte is dat die handdoeke baie klein is vir die koue winter na 'n warm stort.

'n Heerlike plaasatmosfeer!

Maklik om te bereik en heerlik ontspannende atmosfeer.

Lekker plaas-gasvryheid!

Baie skoon en rustige verblyf!
