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!

Friendly, helpful, clean, open, close to water, definitely again. The best, most enjoyable open accommodation.

Vriendelik, behulpsaam, skoon, oop, naby water, definitief weer. Die beste lekkerste oop akkommodasie.

Had a great time and caught fish. Fish Tales exceeded our expectations. The place was neat and the rooms were spacious. We had great fishing. We caught about 70 fish in the 3 days. The men and children were delighted. We will definitely book there again.

Baie lekker gekuier en vis gevang. Fish Tales het ons verwagtinge oortref. Die plek was netjies en die kamers lekker ruim. Ons het heerlik vis gevang. Ons het omtrent 70 visse in die 3 dae gevang. Die mans en kinders was in hulle noppies. Ons sal definitief weer daar bespreek.

Absolutely lovely - definitely the gem of the Vaal. We were a small group of 8 adults who wanted to enjoy a birthday weekend celebration and do some fishing. Fish Tales was just perfect and offered us exactly what we needed. The bedrooms were lovely and spacious, the kitchen was fully equipped with every appliance we could think of, and the fishing was brilliant. Despite the damages the area has experienced the last while with the extreme water levels, the grounds are very well looked after. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back.

Fish Tales - Gem of the Vaal Dam. Fish Tabel is a "home away from home". The layout of the house is well planned with the kitchen through the 4 bedrooms. Simon and Maria are helpful and available when you need them. Some of the fish caught were carp, yellowfish and catfish - from large to small! Our family definitely has the most beautiful "memories" of Christmas 2024 that we will remember for a lifetime. Definitely a must!

Fish Tabel is 'n "home away from home". Die uitleg van die huis is goed beplan met die kombuis d.m.v. die 4 slaapkamers. Simon en Maria is hulpvaardig en beskikbaar wanneer jy hulle nodig het. Van die visse wat gevang is, was karp, geelvis en babers - vanaf grotes tot kleintjies! Ons familie het beslis die mooiste "memories" van Kersfees 2024 wat ons 'n leeftyd sal bybly. Beslis 'n moet!
