    We received very detailed instruction to guide us to the property. The chalet is an absolute gem, clean, beautifully situated in a very quiet and secluded location. Everything was perfectly clean and neat and equipped with everything one needs for...

    Great location! Quite a drive to get there but it's a great and quiet spot. The rondavel is very complete and well furnished. The braai outside is very comfortable with the benches around. It was too cold to swim but the pool is beautifully...

Shondoro is beautiful bushveld and mountains with views of the Seven Sisters Mountains. You will enjoy the wild game as you hike, mountain bike or relax at the outdoor natural pool. Each cottage has it's own private bathroom, kitchen and braai area. Cool off with a dip in the pool or relax in your air-conditioned room. You will feel secluded and close to nature at Shondoro. With over 200 identified species of birds, you may wake up to a sweet song outside your window.
Welcome! We are a family living in the bush and enjoying nature each and every day! We enjoy hiking, mountain biking and bird watching. We love meeting new people and hearing their stories.
We are located just near the Seven Sisters Mountains and you can catch the sunset or sunrise over these mountains from our grassland or from our mountain view. We are about a 25 minutes drive from Vaalwater and 35-40 minutes drive to Modimolle (Nylstroom). Our road is sandy and rocky. We advise guests to travel by SUV or bakkie. We are hidden off the road in the mountains so no worries of hearing roaring traffic or busyness here! Both towns have restaurants and grocery stores.
