5 guests' feedbackWe had a great stay at Fancy Free Fishing Retreat. We caught good fish and there is enough space and ponds that you are not standing close to anyone else. The ponds were well stocked and although it was warm we still caught trout. The bass ponds have been a big bonus, and we've caught a lot of good ones there too. Vaughn was very friendly and took us on a tour of the breeding ponds. We stayed in Invicta. The boma area was nice and private. The 2 bathrooms were also a bonus, and there was plenty of hot water in all the showers. Vaughn also made my son's birthday special by putting balloons around the house for him. Will definitely go again.
The accommodation rate is high R650 per person per night for what the resort has to offer, however the fishing makes it worth the cost, catch and release. If it wasn't for the good fishing I wouldn't have visited the resort again.
Great relax! Accommodation was clean and tidy! We really enjoyed the porch! And thankful for warm blankets and warm hearth! See again.
Many black bass caught. Eight trout were caught. Water was still a bit warm for trout. Will definitely go back in the winter.
A wonderful retreat!
