Shawswood has a variety of accommodation options on offer from Stone Haven, a quaint self-catering cottage with loft bedroom that sleeps two adults and two kiddies on fold out chair beds, to a wing of no-fuss double rooms with communal ablutions and kitchen/dining facilities, to nine backpacker bunk bed rooms that require guests to bring their own bedding. The self-catering kitchen is well stocked with cooking appliances, crockery and cutlery, and there are outside braai facilities too. The property has been in the same family for generations, and offers some challenging hikes through plantations and indigenous forest to the bottom and top of the waterfall Grey Mare's Tail. Close by attractions are Karkloof Canopy Tours and Karkloof Country Club's mountain biking trails.
