Rest for the soul. The cottage has so much more than advertised. Makes you feel at home. The view, clean air and farm life make one calm. For sure you will see us again soon. We miss our "pet Chicken".
It was great. The place is very well furnished with beautiful views.
Absolutely stunning location! Excellent tranquil space for unwinding without actually being too far from civilization. The cottage was wonderful. Love the free range eggs provided from the friendly chickens on the property. The caretaker was super nice, as was the owner. A lovely hiking trail too.
We had a wonderful 3 nights. Very neat and clean as well as well equipped with all you might need. The trail was very nice, challenging at times for the unfit but worth the effort.
Wonderful weekend getaway! Nice relaxation and break away from the city! Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
Very nice stay. Will definitely stay there again.
Peaceful farm atmosphere. Food for the soul. Silence, picturesque scenery. Very nice hiking trail. WiFi was very handy. Children enjoyed the chickens immensely.
Tranquil, uncomplicated, and very well equipped with fast, effective WiFi.
Accommodation is comfortable and clean. The environment is special.
Wonderfully peaceful, except for the rooster at 4:00 in the morning, but that's part of farm life. Place looks exactly like the photo - no surprises. Excellently equipped.
My boyfriend and I were looking for a quiet place to get away and Shallow Pig was perfect, had everything we needed and the host, Warrin, is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We definitely recommend.
We rested well. The farm is quiet and peaceful, located in a very beautiful environment between the hills of the Vredefort dome. Warrin the host was very friendly and welcoming. All the facilities were very neat and clean. The farmhouse has everything you need with a little extra, from excellent coffee to delicious sweet honey, 6 fresh farm eggs and nice dry wood with fire lighters. Warrin thought of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. We ventured on the hiking trail between the hills and got very nice views. If you don't have time for a walk, there is also a very nice view from the braai area at the farmhouse. We would go back again anytime, it's ideal for a relaxing break in nature.
Was a short visit but will definitely go again and stay longer. Perfect for a weekend away from it all.
I would highly recommend Shallow Pig to someone who wants to do nothing and rest. I don't think this is a place for children.
Lovely location. Very accommodating. Travelled alone with medium size dog. Lovely safe hiking trail, that is well marked. Simple but easy living.
It's a very neat place against the wooded hills. It is definitely exceptional value for money, especially if you want to explore the dome from there.
Wonderful getaway from the rush. Neat and has everythign you need. Highly recommended.
Unexpected surprise, interesting overnight stay, good location re Parys and the Vredefort Dome.
Shallow Pig is a peaceful and quiet place. So it's an excellent place to go if you want to get away from the city noise. I recommend it to any one.
