Baie lekker met 'n goeie uitleg.

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.

Very nice accommodation with a good layout. Everything you need for self-catering. Everything was clean and tidy. Nice lawn in front of the house to play. Easy to launch the boat there. Maria came to clean for us 2 times a day at an extra cost which allowed us all to relax. We will definitely book the house again.

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.

Baie lekker hengelwegbreek-naweekplek.

Baie lekker plek met alles wat nodig is vir 'n hengel wegbreek. Alles was netjies en het gewerk. Ons het baie visgevang, alhoewel nie baie groot nie, vashaakplekke het egter gepla.

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.

Our stay was awesome. It is a place where young and old can enjoy and be relaxed. The place is so clean, safe, beautiful and peaceful. It is also very spacious and the garden is big and ideal for kids to run around and have fun and at the same time. For those who love fishing. Wonderful place to fish - fish are big too.

Peaceful, Safe, Relaxing.

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! The dirt road heading in needs a bit of attention, but other than that our stay was definitely comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

Very nice place, clean and tidy, with everything you need for a weekend getaway, with good self-catering facilities. Layout is perfect for families or friends visiting as a group. Thank you very much, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely use the facilities again, our friends were also very impressed and believe they will also use them in the future.

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.

Fish Tales was perfect. It is definitely a Gem. We all had a great time.

Felt like we were at home. With the bonus of been able to fish and the beautiful views. Safe and quite.
