Comfortable accommodation, good fishing, beautiful and safe surroundings. We had a wonderful stay at Fish Tales, and will definitely visit again.

Gerieflike verblyf, goeie visvang, pragtige en veilige omgewing. Ons het heerlik gebly by Fish Tales, en sal vir seker weer gaan kuier.

Nice and quiet by the dam. The house is clean and tidy and nice and big. Our family had a great time, indoor braai was convenient on the rainy days. Will go again.

Lekker rustig by die dam. Die huis is skoon en netjies en lekker groot. Ons familie het lekker gekuier, binnebraai was gerieflik met die reënerige dae. Sal weer gaan.

Amazing house - amazing fishing - peaceful and serene. The place is truly beautiful, right in front of the Vaal Dam. Really great fishing, the house is about 80m from the dam; this can change with the rain or lack thereof. We had a truly amazing time and will be back without a doubt.

Home away from home. This is a very lovely place. It is clean and neat and very spacious. We were a large group and it helped that each room had its own bathroom. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toilet paper. The kitchen had all the amenities needed. The property is large and well maintained, and our dogs loved the open yard. This was truly a place where we all could relax; the grandkids played in the dam, rode their bicycles, and the adults fished. The owner was very friendly and followed up to check if we arrived safely and afterwards. We will most definitely visit again; it felt like home away from home.

Best and nicest place to stay ever with everything you need! Fish Tales - Gem of the Vaal was the best and most enjoyable place we have ever stayed! The host was always available when we needed her, and the caretaker was a champion! We really enjoyed the fishing, catching everything from small to large fish. The house was equipped with everything we needed and will definitely go again!

Beste en lekkerste blyplek ooit met alles wat jy nodig het! Fish Tales - Gem of the Vaal was die beste en lekkerste blyplek waar ons ooit nog was! Die gasheer was altyd beskikbaar as ons haar nodig gehad het, en die opsigter was 'n champion! Die visvang het ons baie geniet, van klein tot groot visse gevang. Die huis was toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het en sal beslis weer gaan!
