Will go back again, well worth the money.

The house was very clean, and the design of the house is very good. The area is very safe. The fishing was also very good with a lot of space for fishing.

Awesome stay - perfect for families, fishing groups!

We were a group of 12 men on a fishing weekend. The house was in a great location on the dam. We were met by Simon who showed us around. There are 3 bedrooms with king beds and en suite bathrooms, and 1 bedroom with 3 single beds and an en suite bathroom. The lounge area also had an additional double bed. The kitchen was great with all the amenities and a built-in braai area. The patio overlooks the dam with enough seating for all of us. It was not an issue to share beds as we spent most of our time at the dam where we set up camp. The dam is pretty low, so it was about 250m away from the house, but we were able to drive up and down when needed. Also, the fishing was great; we caught really nice carp. We also used the cleaning service, which was available for a small fee. We all agreed that we would definitely go back.

Peace and quiet.

We had a lovely time with the family. Unfortunately, the weather was not too nice, so we did not spend as much time at the dam as we would have liked to. We were a bit surprised to find that this is not a home; each room is separate from each other. There was also no Wi-Fi (if the weather was better, we would not have missed this). Still a nice setup in warmer weather.

Baie lekker verblyf met 'n goeie uitleg. Alles wat jy benodig vir selfsorg. Alles was skoon en netjies. Lekker grasperk voor die huis om te speel. Maklik om die boot te (launch) daar. Maria het vir ons 2 keer 'n dag kom skoonmaak teen 'n ekstra koste wat ons almal lekker kon laat ontspan. Ons sal vir seker weer die huis bespreek.

Die perfekte bestemming vir groot groepe.

Ons het Fish Tales bespreek vir 'n ramspartytjie en ons kon nie gelukkiger wees met die bestemming nie. Die uitsigte oor die dam is asemrowend, en die woning self is groot en perfek ingerig vir 'n groot kuier saam met vriende. Ons het gebraai, rugby gekyk, en lekker vis gevang direk op die eiendom se oewer. Die eienaar is baie vriendlik en behulpsaam en het alle navrae goed beantwoord.

The perfect destination for large groups.

We booked Fish Tales for a rams party and we couldn't be happier with the destination. The views over the pond are breathtaking, and the home itself is large and perfectly set up for a great get-together with friends. We barbecued, watched rugby, and caught good fish right on the property's shore. The owner is very friendly and helpful and answered all queries well.

Very relaxing and the fishing was great.

As a group of friends with the little ones along, we booked for the weekend, the large lawn is great for the kids to play as there are no thorns, the kitchen has everything a person could need for a weekend away, and by 09H00 am the Saturday we stopped counting at 30 fish. I would highly recommend this place as it is truly a gem.

Fish Tales is a wonderful place, very peacful and homely. It has everything you need, rooms are stunning, not to mention the amazing kitchen. The view of the dam is absolutely beautiful, the sunrise is breath-taking. We were lucky enough to spot 2 beautiful zebras upon arrival and also a herd of springboks!

Very clean and decent place, great open space for the kiddies to run around, fantastic fishing spot. The kitchen has everything you can think of. Will definitely come back again. Safe and quiet.

Rustige, mooi uitsig en mooi plekkie.

Sal die plekkie aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Baie oulike plekkie met alles wat jy nodig het. Rustige, mooi omgewing, pragtige uitsig oor die dam.

Heerlike, pragtige wegbreek plek om te rus in die natuur, en ideaal vir visvangentoesiaste!

Dis 'n heerlike plek of weg te kom van alle stadswoelinge en lawaai! Pragtig naby aan die water, ideaal vir visvang! Gerieflik ingerig!

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring gewees

Ons het 'n rustige naweek gehad saam met familie. Almal het die naweek vreeslik geniet. Die huis is wonderlik uitgele en ideaal vir 'n groot groep mense of familie om saam tyd te spandeer. Ons sal definitief weer terug gaan.

Tranquil stay.

Such a beautiful home, with everything you need for a quiet getaway. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. Caught loads of fish, felt so safe, children ran around all day and enjoyed the surrounding nature.

Absolutely stunning setting and a relaxing environment.

We had an amazing time at Fish Tales. Beautiful setting, relaxing environment, great fishing, our dogs had a ball, all the people in our group loved the house and the layout of the house. Your room feels like your own personal space. Great kitchen with huge counter and stools to accommodate everyone for breakfast or dinner. Overall an amazing place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Felt like we were at home so we could just put our feet up and have a good time. Will definitely be going back. We can't wait for the entertainment area to be completed. Look forward to creating many more memories at Fish Tales.

Baie lekker, skoon, netjies en gerieflik.

Baie lekker plekkie, skoon netjies, met alles wat jy nodig het vir wegbreeknaweek, met goeie selfsorg-fasiliteite. Uitleg is perfek vir families of vriende wat as 'n group saam kuier. Baie dankie, ons het heerlik gebly en sal beslis weer van die fasiliteite gebruik maak, ons vriende was ook baie beïndruk en glo hulle sal ook in die toekoms daarvan gebruik maak.

Die plek is baie netjies, skoon en veilig.

Almal het hulle self baie geniet, hulle sê hulle sal definitief weer teruggaan. Dit is baie rustig en pragtig wanneer die son oor die dam op kom, terwyl jy jou koffie sit en drink op die stoep, met jou gemaklike vellies, geelvetbiltong en damswem in gedagte.

The place is very neat, clean and safe.

Everyone enjoyed themselves very much, they say they will definitely go back again. It is very peaceful and beautiful when the sun rises over the pond, while you sip your coffee and drink on the veranda, with your comfortable sheets, yellow fat biltong and pond swimming in mind.

Good family getaway.

Nice venue that is safe and well equipped. Easy access to watersport. Only issue was one toilet was faulty and the road from Deneysville to venue is not great.

Good morning Marius, thank you very much for your review.
Please let me know which toilet was faulty, I would like to have it fixed as soon as possible.
Thank you.
