Rus vir die siel.

Rus vir die siel. Die kothuis het soveel meer as wat geadverteer word. Laat mens tuis voel. Die uitsig, skoon lug en plaaslewe maak mens rustig. Vir seker sien julle ons gou weer. Ons mis klaar ons "pet Chicken".

Rest for the soul.

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".

Rustige plaas atmosfeer. Kos vir die siel. Stilte, prentjiemooi natuurskoon. Baie lekker staproete. WiFi was baie handig. Kinders het die hoenders verskriklik geniet.

Wonderful. Tranquil.

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.

Rustig, ontspannend.

Heerlik rustig, behalwe vir die hoenderhaan 04:00 die oggend, maar dit is deel van plaaslewe. Plekkie lyk presies soos die foto - geen verrassings. Uitstekend toegerus.

Calm, relaxing.

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.

Oornagwegbreek.

Ek en my kêrel het 'n rustige plek gesoek om weg te kom en Shallow Pig was perfek, het alles bevat wat ons nodig gehad het en die gasheer, Warrin, is besonders vriendelik en verwelkomend. Ons beveel definitief aan.

Rustige plaaslewe met 'n mooi omgewing.

Ons het lekker gerus. Die plaas is stil en rustig, geleë in 'n baie mooi omgewing tussen die koppies van die Vredefortkoepel. Warrin die gasheer was baie vriendelik en verwelkomend. Al die geriewe was baie netjies en mooi skoon. Die plaashuis beskik oor alles wat jy nodig het met nog bietjie ekstra, van uitstekende koffie tot heerlike soet heuning, 6 vars plaas eiers en lekker droë hout met vuuraanstekers. Warrin het aan als gedink om die oorbly so gemaklik as moontlik te maak. Ons het die voetslaanroete tussen die koppies aangedurf en baie mooi uitsigte gekry. As jy nie kans sien vir stap nie is daar ook n baie mooi uitsig vanaf die braai area by die plaashuis. Ons sal enige tyd weer teruggaan, dis ideaal vir 'n ontspanne wegbreek in die natuur.

Peaceful farm life with beautiful surroundings.

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.

Die cottage is nie so maklik om te kry nie, maar dit maak dit vir my lekkerder.

Dis 'n baie netjiese plek teen die bosbegroeide koppies. Dit is beslis uitsonderlike waarde vir geld, veral as jy van daar die koepel wil verken.

The cottage is not so easy to find, but that makes it more enjoyable for me.

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.

Dit was awesome!

Shallow Pig is 'n rustige en stil plek. So dit is 'n uitstekende plek om na te gaan as jy weg wil kom van die stadsgeraas. Ek beveel dit vir enige een aan.
