Relaxing, tranquil.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed it so much we even booked again. Relaxing, peaceful. The river flows fast so we could not fish.

Ongelooflik. Huisie netjies en skoon. Gerieflik met alles wat nodig is.

Beslis lekker gekuier op die oewer van die Vaalrivier met die stilte rondom jou.

A true retreat with no frills - as it was advertised.

The staff on the ground were very helpful, friendly and accommodating - even after hours. It was very calming, quiet, and well enjoyed. The one negative I can say is that our unit was not able to provide us with water on Sunday as the water pipes had burst, forcing us to change our Sunday plans. Oh, and no door in the toilet. It was a bit uncomfortable as always one person had to go out of the cabin.

Heerlike rustige naweek met 'n fantastiese uitsig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, dankie. Netjies, skoon en maklik om te kry. Baie mooi uitsig oor die rivier en lekker vir "fly fishing" as die rivier nie in vloed is nie. Baie behulpsaam toe ons laat weet ons gaan dalk laat daar aankom. Het ook baie vinnig gehelp by die geyser toe die warm kraan net koue water gee. Oulike emu's en volstruise wat ook daar rondloop en baie nuuskierig is. Pad soontoe is oor die algemeen heel goed, maar kan deur swaar reen vererger word.

Lovely peaceful weekend with a fantastic view.

We had a great stay, thank you. Neat, clean and easy to find. Very nice view of the river and nice for "fly fishing" when the river is not in flood. Very helpful when we let them know we might be getting there late. Also helped very quickly at the geyser when the hot tap only gave cold water. Cute emus and ostriches that also walk around there and are very curious. Road there is generally very good, but can be made worse by heavy rain.

Great place, will be back.

Second time here, lovely place. Some small things could make it better. The mattress in the unit has seen better days; it is warped and doesn't make for a good night's sleep. Some rubbish lying around the unit from previous visitors - old party balloons. A clean-up of areas should be done more regularly.

Ongelooflik rustig en gemaklik.

Ons was verbaas oor die plekkie, dit was baie meer as wat ons verwag het. Die ligging is uitstekend en naby genoeg aan Parys indien jy moet dorp toe. Wees net bewus dat die grondpad op plekke rof kan wees. Ontvangs was ongelukkig nie beskikbaar die hele naweek nie en ons sou graag net meer inligting wou kry oor aktiwiteite en die spa. Verder is die plekkie uitstekend en ons sal dit definitief aanraai.

We were surprised by the place, it was much more than we expected. The location is excellent and close enough to Paris if you need to go into town. Just be aware that the dirt road can be rough in places. Unfortunately, reception was not available all weekend and we would have liked to have more information about activities and the spa. Furthermore, the place is excellent and we would definitely recommend it.

Peaceful getaway right next to the river. Great fly fishing.

Positives - Location was right next to the river with a beautiful view. Good braai facilities and the "hot tub" was wonderful at sunset. Wi-fi and lights were available at all times during load shedding. Children had a great time swimming in the pool, and playing with emus and ostriches. Pont across river also made for fun. Lady who cleaned was incredibly helpful and friendly. She deserves a bonus. Only saw owner/managers peeking out quickly on her front porch, no further contact. . Negatives - Dirt road from Paris turns off in places bad for regular sedans. Main bathroom was not up to standard for price. Poor ventilation suffered from musty smell with mold on shower walls. Toilet seat and roll container thin cheap plastic, and last morning there was no water. Will definitely go again if they pay attention to bathrooms. Had a wonderful rest!

Verblyf was baie lekker, maar terrein kort aandag.

Verblyf by Fly Fishing Paradise is netjies en skoon. Sou beter ligte in die kombuis aanbring, asook dakwaaiers. Die perseel kort in geheel bietjie TLC. Die rivieruitsig is toegegroei met die bome en ons moes vra dat hulle ons buite asdrom daagliks leegmaak. Terrein kort 'n goeie skoonmaak. Swembad en Hottub was 'n wenner.

Accommodation at Fly Fishing Paradise is neat and clean. Would install better lights in the kitchen, as well as ceiling fans. Overall, the premises need some TLC. The river view is overgrown with the trees and we had to ask that they empty our outside ash bin daily. Site needs a good cleaning. Pool and Hottub was a winner.

Die kuier was nie onaangenaam nie, net spasie gewys bietjie klein.

Die foto wat ek op die webblad gesien het, het gelyk of dit by die rivier is, maar met ons aankoms was ons ver van die rivier af. Die toilet het geen deur na die kamer nie, wat effens onvanpas is; maak nie saak of jul getroud is of nie, daar moet 'n deur wees vir privaatheid. Die stort het baie geleak met ons aankoms en het ons die volgende dag die eienaar in kennis gestel. Hulle het iemand gestuur om daarvan werk te maak, maar die geyser moet vervang word. Daar is nie genoeg plek om jou tas neer te sit of iewers klere op te hang nie. Die oggend van ons vertrek kon ons nie stort nie, want daar was geen warm water nie, daar die geyser vervang gaan word en dit ten tye nog nie gebeur het nie. My familie het ook daar tuis gegaan en wou ons hul buite hottub gebruik, maar na drie bondels hout wat op perseel gekoop is en baie rook en groot gesukkel het, het die hottub geensins warm geword nie en die hout kort-kort uitgebrand, want daar was 'n water lekkasie wat veroorsaak het dat die hout nie bly brand het nie en vreeslik baie rook veroorsaak het en nat geword het. Dit was baie teleurstellend, daar ons baie uitgesien het om dit te gebruik en dit 'n mors van geld was. Die wild was 'n pluspunt, daar ons in 'n wildtuin gebly het vir jare en die bosgevoel was weer lekker. Die emu's is bietjie stout en volg jou orals. Mense moet hulle glad nie voer nie, want dan raak hulle cheeky. Aanbevelings vir 'n reling langs die trappe af vir mense wat moeilik daar kan afklim en vir vashouplek. Ook vir 'n deur tussen toilet en kamer gedeelte.

The visit was not unpleasant, only the space shown was a bit small.

The picture I saw on the web page looked like it was by the river, but when we arrived we were far from the river. The toilet has no door to the room, which is slightly inappropriate; no matter if you are married or not, there must be a door for privacy. The shower was leaking a lot when we arrived and we notified the owner the next day. They sent someone to work on it, but the geyser needs to be replaced. There is not enough space to put down your suitcase or hang clothes somewhere. The morning of our departure we could not take a shower, because there was no hot water, as the geyser was going to be replaced and this had not yet happened. My family also went home there and wanted us to use their outdoor hot tub, but after three bundles of wood bought on site and a lot of smoke and a lot of trouble, the hot tub didn't get hot at all and the wood burned out every now and then because there was a water leak which caused the wood to stop burning and caused an awful lot of smoke and got wet. It was very disappointing as we were really looking forward to using it and it was a waste of money. The wildlife was a plus, as we had lived in a wildlife park for years and the forest feeling was nice again. The emus are a bit naughty and follow you everywhere. People should not feed them at all, because then they become cheeky. Recommendations for a handrail down the stairs for people who have difficulty getting down there and for holding on. Also for a door between toilet and room section.

Would not go back only because of expired coffee and a dirty room.

It's a pretty decent place for scenery and activities next door, but the cabins are not clean at all, the coffee was expired, and the host never picks up her phone. But there are really nice animals and fun things to do next door.

Dit was fantasties. Perfekte plek vir 'n stil naweekwegbreek.

Dit was die tweede keer wat ek by Fly Fishing Paradise gebly het en ek sal beslis weer gaan. Ons was 'n groep van 7 wat op 'n naweekwegbreek gegaan het. Die omgewing is baie mooi skoon en rustig. Die huise is goed ingerig vir beurtkrag met noodligte en 'n gasstoof.

Die landskap was pragtig, die Katima hut was beter as die foto's, die uitsig vanuit die Katima was beeldskoon. Die warmwaterbad was 'n uitsondering! Verskriklik lekker, en ontspannend. Daar was alles en meer, sout, peper, potte, handdoeke, gas, stort, en soveel meer. Asook 'n fan. Baie dankie!

Beautiful spot, perfect for a quiet getaway.

We stayed at Flyfishing Paradise for a short Christmas getaway. Beautiful and relaxing. The hot tub was a hit for all! The only sidenote, for a house that sleeps 8, the fridge/freezer is quite small - if you're a family like ours that likes to cook and feast, make sure to bring your cooler boxes (ice is readily available on site).

Uncomfortable, far out of town and not clean and tidy.

For us, the accommodation was not what it was in the photos. The shower was broken as well as the toilet. The bed was uncomfortable and the mattress was worn out so you roll towards each other. There weren't enough blankets either. We got there just in time due to travel problems. We were unfriendly and there was no customer service.

Pragtig. Rustig.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek in 'n goed toegeruste huis.

Baie rustig. Natuur uitstekend.

Gaan vir seker weer daar bespreek. Die buurplaas se lig skyn so bietjie sleg in Kabous se slaapkamer in. Hou mens bietjie wakker in die nag. Glo bestuur sal dit gou kan aanspreek.

Very calm. Nature excellent.

Will definitely book there again. The neighboring farm's light shines a little badly into Kabous's bedroom. Keeps you awake at night. Believe management will be able to address this soon.

Will definitely visit Fly Fishing Paradise again!

Staff is friendly and helpful. I recommend an outside covered area at the braai (when it rains) and a rubbish bin. Cabous Unit is comfy and spacious and ideally located (separate) - absolutely loved it! Appreciated hot water showers and back-up solar lights. Loved the animals and enjoyed the frequent visits from the emus. Already planning our next visit!

Perfek vir 'n rustige wegbreek! Die huisie het al die basiese benodighede en die uitsig van die dek oor die rivier is fantasties.

Ons sal Fly Fishing Paradise beslis weer besoek en vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Die omgewing en atmosfeer is salig en rustig en die huisie so na aan die rivier is beslis die hoogtepunt elke oggend en aand. Die twee emus was iets besonders en ons het hulle baie geniet. Die ligging is ideaal, net ver genoeg van die dorp om regtig stilte te kan ervaar, maar naby genoeg dat jy kan inry dorp toe of na ander plekke gaan. Die personeel was vriendelik en die huisie is baie netjies en ook prakties. Die feit dat ons maklik kon kom en gaan sonder moeite was baie gerieflik. Ons sal graag weer in die somer teruggaan!

Perfect for a peaceful getaway! The cottage has all the basic necessities and the view from the deck over the river is fantastic.

We will definitely visit Fly Fishing Paradise again and recommend it to anyone. The environment and atmosphere is blissful and peaceful and the cottage so close to the river is definitely the highlight every morning and evening. The two emus were something special and we really enjoyed them. The location is ideal, just far enough from town to really experience silence, but close enough that you can drive into town or go to other places. The staff were friendly and the house is very neat and also practical. The fact that we could easily come and go without any hassle was very convenient. We would love to go back again in the summer!

Ons wou gaan rus en ons het. Baie rusitige, boomryke omgewing, plaasatmosfeer.

Een ding wat ek moet noem, toe ons so 14:15 daar aankom, was ons eenheid reeds geneem (Gus). Ons het toe Ronan geneem met dieselfde uitleg. Persoon het genoem dat sy besprekingsdokument ook Gus gespesifiseer het (nie seker deur wie bespreek). Gelukkig het niemand ons kom uitskop nie. So, jul moet kyk na besprekingsproses. Ook gemis dat eienaar glad nie eers kom groet het nie maar die twee persone in beheer was vriendelik en ten volle instaat om hul werk te doen.

We wanted to rest and we did. Very quiet, tree-rich environment, farm atmosphere.

One thing I have to mention, when we got there around 14:15, our unit was already taken (Gus). We then took Ronan with the same layout. Person mentioned that his booking document also specified Gus (not sure by whom booking). Luckily no one came to kick us out. So, you have to look at booking process. Also missed that the owner didn't even come to say hello but the two people in charge were friendly and fully capable of doing their job.

Hi Danie
Ons gebruik maar net Ronan en Gus se name om daardie 2 hutte te identifiseer, hul is presies dieselfde.
Die eienaar bly in Namibia en nie op die eiendom nie, daar is net 'n man van Parys self wat omsien na die eiendom, maar gaste word na gekyk deur Martha en Isak.

Mooi plekkie, maar swak diens.

Die eienaars het vooraf bevestig dat ons vroeër as die inboektyd kan aanmeld. Ons het egter eers om 15:00 gearriveer, net om te vind dat die personeel nie van ons koms bewus was nie en die huisie nog skoongemaak moes word na die vorige gaste. Ons moes toe vir omtrent 'n uur buite rondstaan om vir hulle te wag. Die "hot tub" langs die rivier is vir ons gevul en warm gemaak, maar was eers na donker gereed en daar is geen beligting nie. Die volgende oggend was daar beurtkrag en sommer terselfdertyd ook geen water nie, so ons kon nie was of eet of selfs net koffie maak nie. Ek voel dat daar darem voorsiening gemaak moet word dat die basiese geriewe in plek is vir sulke gevalle, soos 'n kragopwekker of sonkrag. 'n Verwarmer sal ook lekker wees vir die uiters koue aande in die winter. Nog iets wat ons gemis het, was 'n slaaibak. Die eienaars woon blykbaar buite ons landsgrense en dit lyk of die gebrek aan toesig 'n negatiewe effek op die diens het. Daar was niemand om ons met ons aankoms te verwelkom nie. Die huisie is wel baie oulik ingerig en op die oewer van die Vaalrivier met 'n stoepie en braai wat oor die kabbelende rivier uitkyk. Die wild loop vry tot teen die huisie. Dis 'n baie mooi, rustige omgewing.

Nice place, but poor service.

The owners confirmed in advance that we can check in earlier than the check-in time. However, we only arrived at 15:00, only to find that the staff were not aware of our arrival and the cottage still had to be cleaned after the previous guests. We then had to stand around outside waiting for them for about an hour. The "hot tub" by the river was filled and heated for us, but was not ready until after dark and there is no lighting. The next morning there was load shedding and no water at the same time, so we couldn't wash or eat or even just make coffee. I feel that at least provision should be made that the basic facilities are in place for such cases, such as a generator or solar power. A heater would also be nice for the extremely cold evenings in winter. Another thing we missed was a salad bowl. The owners seem to live outside our national borders and the lack of supervision seems to have a negative effect on the service. There was no one to welcome us upon our arrival. The house is very cutely furnished and on the banks of the Vaal River with a stoep and braai overlooking the rippling river. The game runs free right up to the house. It's a very beautiful, peaceful environment.

Die rivier is vreeslik mooi

Dis waarlik n mooi stuk grond en rivier maar d eenheid was 'n geweldige teleurstelling vir die bedrag wat ons vir die 2 nagte betaal het. Ons het slegs 1 aand geslaap en nie kans gesien v nog 'n aand nie. Ruit langs die toilet was gebreek, die dekor is 'n nagmerrie - niks pas bymekaar nie. Kombuis is ok maar die laaie het nie runners nie maak moeilik oop en toe. Die uitsig reg voor is mooi maar regs is 'n murasie en links 'n French drein wat net met geroeste sinke toe is. Daar is nie 'n sementblad met 'n inspeksie gat nie. Dis baie gevaarlik en lelik om te sien. Krag was af a.g.v 'n storm daar was 'n lig maar die stoof, ketel en mikrogolf kon dus nie werk nie. Ek sou 'n gasstoof voorstel dan kan mens kos maak en water kook vir koffie. Daar was ook geen water as die krag af is nie so jy kan nie toilet trek of handewas nie. Mens kan nie staatmaak op Eskom of die weer nie so ek dink beplan beter. As mens ure op die pad was en nog 'n lang sinkplaat pad ry, wil jy kan eet en stort en in die bed klim. Ons het vreeslik koud gekry. Dun goedkoop duvet en net n paslaken. Ek wens mense kan van die plekke sien waar ons die vakansie gebly het. Vir R1000 per nag kry jy Egiptiese katoenlinne, elektriese kombers, vereduvet en gas sodat jy nie eers agter kom die krag is af nie. Ek was regtig omgekrap oor die bedrag wat ons betaal het en wat ons daarvoor gekry het. Waarde v geld is 'n 0. Daar word 'n nuwe eenheid gebou wat ek sien darem teëls in het - hopelik word daar meer moeite gedoen met sy dekor.

The river is very beautiful

It's truly a beautiful piece of land and river but the unit was a huge disappointment for the amount we paid for the 2 nights. We only slept 1 night and didn't see a chance for another night. Window next to the toilet was broken, the decor is a nightmare - nothing fits together. Kitchen is ok but the drawers do not have runners and are difficult to open and close. The view straight ahead is beautiful but to the right is a wall and to the left a French drain which is only covered with rusty zinc. There is no cement slab with an inspection hole. It's very dangerous and ugly to see. Power was out due to a storm there was a light but the stove, kettle and microwave therefore could not work. I would suggest a gas stove then one can cook and boil water for coffee. There was also no water when the power was off so you couldn't flush the toilet or wash your hands. You can't rely on Eskom or the weather so I think it's better to plan. If you've been on the road for hours and still drive a long corrugated iron road, you want to be able to eat and shower and get into bed. We got terribly cold. Thin cheap duvet and just a fitted sheet. I wish people could see some of the places where we stayed on vacation. For R1000 per night you get Egyptian cotton linen, electric blanket, feather duvet and gas so you don't even notice the power is off. I was really shocked at the amount we paid and what we got for it. Value for money is a 0. There is a new unit being built which I see at least has tiles in it - hopefully more effort is put into its decor.

Baie teleurstellend.

Pragtige ligging langs die rivier met wild wat oral rondloop, maar dis ook al positief. Met ons aankoms 5 uur die middag was hulle nog besig om skoon te maak. Ons het rustig gewag dat 'n vriendelike Marta klaar skoonmaak. Dit is vanselfsprekend dat jy op 'n plaas langs 'n rivier op verskillende insekte gaan afkom, maar die plek wemel ongelukkig van die spinnekoppe, in die grasdak, kaste, beddens, gordyne en onder die kussings. Dit was van so aard dat ons in ons motors gaan slaap het. Die eienaar se antwoord op dit was "ek weet nie hoekom SMS jy my nie. Ek is in Namibia. Boek dan uit en kry 'n plek in die dorp." Die krag het heeltyd getrip a.g.v. n kortsluiting, so ons moes bedlampe gebruik het om te sien waar ons beweeg in die huis. Beide storte se dreine was ook verstop. Daar is slegs 'n enkel LNB op die DStv-skottel, so 'n PVR of Explorer decoder werk nie. Ek is seker met beter bestuur kan dit 'n baie lekker plek wees.

Very disappointing.

Beautiful location by the river with wildlife roaming everywhere, but that's also a positive. When we arrived at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they were still cleaning. We calmly waited for a friendly Marta to finish cleaning. It goes without saying that on a farm next to a river you will come across various insects, but unfortunately the place is teeming with spiders, in the thatch, cupboards, beds, curtains and under the pillows. It was such that we went to sleep in our cars. The owner's reply to this was "I don't know why you're texting me. I'm in Namibia. Then book out and get a place in town." The power kept tripping due to a short circuit, so we had to use bedside lamps to see where we were moving in the house. Both showers' drains were also clogged. There is only a single LNB on the DStv dish, so a PVR or Explorer decoder does not work. I'm sure with better management it could be a very nice place.

Fly Fishing Paradise 's response

Daar het elke aand mense geslaap in die bungalow en niemand het gekla nie,die eenheid is splinternuut gebou en daar mag dalk nog klein probleme wees wat opduik.Maar dat dit vol spinnekoppe was is n grap,plek is splinternuut.
Maar toe die opsigter verby gaan om alles te kyk was daar geen probleem nie,maar toe die alchol later die aand inskop toe stuur hul heeltyd boodskappe.
Ons het fotos geneem van hoe dit gelyk het van drank glase .
Ons het ook teruvoering gekry van mense wat net die aand voor dit daar geslaap het en geen probleem gehad het nie.
Net die hoof slaapkamer se ligte het ge trip maar daar was bedlampies langs die bed,maar hul was so onder die invloed of besig om te kla dat hul dit nie kon besef tot werkers dit vir hul uitwys nie.
Daar word elke dag nuwe beddegoed oorgetrek so dit is onmoontlik dat daar enige spinnekoppe was in die beddens.
Ek neem aan hul het deure heeltyd oopgelos
