Except for the wind - what a beautiful day we had under the willow trees. The place is beautifully kept clean.Thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my son inlaws 40th 🎂.Definitely will visit again and possibly stay over.
Great for purpose. No bells and whistles but priced right for a fishing trip. 1 thing as a shortfall is the lack of a shower curtain
My son took me there for some stress relief. The place is close to home and the only issue with me is the dirt road from main road to the main gate.The place is quite clean and we chose the second lapa at the entrance.It was a windy day but we had good neighbors and a very good time as well.My son ended up catching all the fish,I didnt even get a bite.Its a nice place to relax and enjoy the outdoors
Really good service, nice places to stay
It has facilities, dont be expected that youll be able to use them.We went on a weekend, no proper braai facilities so we enquired as to the private island which we rented for R500 for the day. When I paid I was told we could use the closer toilet facilities. Later on we were told we were no longer to do so and had to walk to the other end of the resort to use the rundown and supposedly regularly sanitised bathrooms. What doesnt make sense was that if I paid R500 for a room (and didnt make use of that room) I could have access to the better facilities. When I attempted to discuss the matter with the management I was rudely dealt and told thats the way it is now (even though it wasnt in the beginning of the day).2 stars because the general place is clean. Wont happily return anytime soon.
Great fishing. Especially at night
Our experience is always good although the opposite of the main dam is slightly neglected !!
Nice fishing spot, catch & release only. three dams to fish in top dam carp & barbel bottom dams carp, barbel & bass. Open daily from 6 to 6. No camping allowed. The road to the bottom dams can be tricky after rains.
VERY NICE PLACE TO RELAX
Badly upset, as this owner refuse us due to her fake advertising. Never came here and now we never will and wont recommend them ever
Only R50 entrance fee, nice clean dams.
Not my cup of tea unfortunately not at all what its made out to be, but safe if you want to picnic I suppose. If youre a serious angler not the place to be.
Nice clean, difficult to fish, but great getaway for a quick break
Its decent for a fishing trip
Great venue, thats close to the concrete jungle, fishing is great at the top dam. Roads get a bit muddy with lots of rain
Nice and safe. Close to home. Nice getaway
Overcrowded, Overfished. Some fish look like alien carp, their mouths are full of sores amd distorted fur to overfishing. apathetic place.
People working there are lazy.. They come with excuses of you can only sleep minimum two nights and not one night because of covid .. Doesnt make sense as no other geusthouse or fishing resort has that excuse
It was nice and clean. Decent place for a day to relax
Nice venue, but didnt manage to catch anything... :(
Very relaxing...in your back yard angling...peaceful little get away
Its a pity that one cant, in places be able to deliver their equipment by vehicle and once delivered, remove their cars to the top and the reverse when packing up. Awesome otherwise. Basil Burnett. 4,5 stars. *****
The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Clean rooms and beautiful views. What an amazing experience!
As the previous posts mention, the place is clean and well kept, safe environment for the whole family, if you just want to get out for the day you could do worse than this. As for the fishing, we were seasoned fishermen and we were watching what the others caught. From 6 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon, all around the dam, 1 pan size carp was caught. as far as we could see or find out, nobody else anywhere, caught anything. So if you just want a day out, this is not bad. If you want fish, sorry, none here.
Lovely venue for any function. Only downside is there isnt sufficient electricity supply to cook onsite and fridges if youre having a big function. But otherwise 👍
Awesome
Very nice place to fish
This place is great for fishing! Their grounds are clean and fairly looked after.They need improvements on:1) The bathrooms were FAR, dirty and not even a mirror for the ladies. I suggest to have a cleaning lady especially for weekends to clean every hour or so.2) The nearest tap is at the FAR bathrooms.
Always come here and enjoy the day never blanked out .use the worms that the little guys come and sell u ,it works
Great place for bass and carp fishing
Nice site,but place is vandalised,preventing progress expected.R50 per person,even a small child is a bit much.No entertainment for kids
Spent over 6hours n didnt catch anything
I recommend you look for another venue.The location is great and beautiful, however the lady in charge whatever her name is has the worst attitude ever as if she is doing you a favour yet you are a paying customer.
We caught no fish but used everything we had
Not one bite from 10AM to 6PM and tried a lot of different baits. Braai area only on one side of the dam and is a bit neglected. Otherwise a very nice experience and camp sites spaced adequately. Lawn was nicely cut and neat up to the dam.
Awesome picnic spot but no fish
Seriously packed! Get there early else you wont get a decent place to fish. Dont except to enjoy peace and quiet either as your neighbour will be a meter or 2 next to you.
Great fishing spot and big fish. Use sweet stuff
They overcharge for small children under 6,u pay full price,not fair at all
Only 50 rand entryClean ablution blocksClean enviromentGreat place to go for the day
Nice fishing spot to get away for the dayCatch and releaseVery safe ...ideal for familiesR50 per person
This is really a great place. With 4 man made dams for fishermen with small shade lapas all around accompanied with available braais and toilets. venue and bungalows available for booking . great for the whole family and fishing
Place is very clean. Fishing was amazing. Had an excellent experience
Wonderful place to go for a family outing. Would suggest going there early on in the day to get prime fishing spots.
My first visit today... Pay R50 pp but there is no toilet paper, the bathrooms are disgustingly dirty, womens bathroom has no sanity bins, bathrooms smell, toilet paper lying every where, fish mouths are torn so how do you control the right hooks being used? No dustbins, black bags lying around and litter in the dam. Just maintain your property!
The perfect wedding/event venue on a lake
Fishing is great! Just need sweet things and the fish will bite preferably pink sweeties
Good place to catch fish and have a braai. Good facilities. Karp and catfish in abundance. Bass well, generally tuff.
Nice facilities for a day trip, good fishing.
Great facilities
The family and I had an awesome day fishing. Really enjoyed it.
Fish is good but hardly get a bait
An awesome get away not far from home. Great for family reunions and leadership conferences.
Nice spot, but would be alot better if the braai areas were cleaned and there was no litter in the dam and under the lapas and on the grass.
Well kept dam, great for fishing. They also have a venue for hire and a laps with rooms around for hire
Clear and well managed facilities. Our group caught two carp and a catfish
Beautiful, tranquil, home away from home!Here you can fish, pick nick, camp, have parties, converences and even get married!There are two dams for fishing, a camp (lapa and accomodation) and a new venue for parties and weddings.
Such an awesome & beautiful, tranquil place to fish, chill, have a party or a picnic...
Fishing were poor when I were there the last time. Previously fishing were good
Excellent wedding venue,value for money
Great place for fishing fans to get a drink or two while fishing for sport.
Very nice n clear fish. Safe for family outing
Very expensive and busy with no bites i just think that small dams over fed would rather travel further and go to the vaal next time
Catch and release dam, we had a good time
It was very nice today. Fishing was a bit slow, but I had a great day at the water.
It is n very nice palace to have weddings and partys
The fish here are very fond of maggots live wich you can get at advanced angling in alberton and hooked on angling in randhart
A close and decent place to fish, catch and release ,and a great place to braai over the weekend
Today my family and I went fishing at the R50 dam and after sitting for about 3 hours not only did we catch nothing but NOBODY caught anything. A mate of mine came through on his motorbike and we sat and had a few drinks by the dam... When we left, the stupid arrogant owner attempted to take my mate out with her car and then continued swearing and shouting at us as if we had come to terrorise her property and sent her german shepherd to attack him. I think that it was very unprofessional and disgusting. I would advise anyone to stay away from this place with people of such a disgusting nature.I also hope she reads this and realises how stupid she was to behave like that. And P. S if you dont want bikes there then put a sign up.
Great for families to enjoy a day out.
Lovely venue
Very quite and remote yet close by.
Clean, serene environment. Pleasurable experience
Great for a family and friend get together and braai - fishing allowed
Nice for a quick break away
Perfect
Nice fun spot for quick day fishing
Still love this placeGreat place for kids.
Below average accommodation unhelpful manager and staff would not recommend this to anybody
