54 guests' feedbackAmazing fishing weekend at Die Vette Vis! Wow, what an incredible weekend we had at Die Vette Vis in Oranjeville! Despite the weather throwing us a curveball with some extremely windy conditions, our experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautiful setting and the immaculate accommodations. The house was spotless and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need—truly a home away from home! We felt relaxed and comfortable, which made our fishing adventure that much better. Sure, we had a long walk down due to the dam water levels, but it was thrilling to test our fitness while enjoying the picturesque scenery along the way! Now, let’s talk fishing! The wind may have been fierce, but it didn’t deter us one bit! In fact, it added an exhilarating twist to our fishing experience. Each cast brought its own thrill, and we were beyond delighted with our catches. We had a magnificent time, and it was the perfect mix of challenge and reward. Whether they were big or small, every fish we caught felt like a victory, and we loved every moment of it. Overall, our weekend at Die Vette Vis was the perfect blend of relaxation, fun, and adventure. If you're looking for a slice of paradise to fish, unwind, and create unforgettable memories, look no further! We can’t wait to return for another round of fishing.
Accommodation has everything needed with good layout. Breathtaking view with very beautiful sunset. Pond nice and deep to catch big carp. Helpful and friendly host.
Stay was excellent. Very friendly owner.
It was a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Nice and close to the water for fishing. Enjoyed the break away. We will definitely be back again.
Unbelievably nice and you don't have to worry about power outages, the owner has precautions in place.
The house has everything one needs, beautiful pond view, nice board games. The dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer are a nice asset. It is also a good place for fishing, lots of fish and pets are welcome. The fishing area is located very close to the house and there is also a boat launch area. Will visit here again for sure!
Very nice stay. People are very friendly. Will stay there again in the future.
Very neat, pond and other places right next to you. Everything at your disposal regarding accommodation. A definite must visit.
Very nice place by the dam, very homely feeling, owner very friendly and helpful. House is nicely laid out for a family or group of friends. Enjoyed a lot.
Absolutely marvellous! Accommodation is right on the Vaal River. Fishing was great! Our teen and puppy were exceptionally happy. Very peaceful. It's a very small town. We visited 2 pubs, Vertoef and Route 73. The owners were very hospitable. And our host at the accommodation, Andre, was so friendly. He made our stay memorable. Such a wonderful, friendly soul.
Nice fish caught, but short shade at pond. I want to be able to fish all day and not just before or after sunrise or sunset. It's a cute little place, but air conditioning is needed in the area. Solar power is awesome, thank you.
The owner is very friendly. Will use the accommodation again anytime. I drove through Oranjeville on Friday. Our fishing club had our senior league this weekend and I needed accommodation at short notice. I came across the place and on request he was available. I'm glad I discovered the gem. Will definitely use the accommodation again if I need a place to sleep for fishing at the Vaal Dam. Or even spend a weekend here with friends or family. The house is on the shore and there is good fishing.
Very warm welcome and we had been given the assistance we needed. Great service. Thank you. Die Vette Vis family.
We really enjoyed our stay, and we will go back anytime.
It is a good experience for us and especially for the kids.
We had loads of fun and opted to stay another night. Very peaceful.
From Day 1 we had a fantastic stay. The peace and quiet are amazing. The accommodation is top class, clean, tidy a home away from home. The grounds are always kept in excellent condition. Owner Andre has upgraded the solar system which allowed us to not be phased in any way with load shedding. I would recommend Die Vette Vis any day. We will definitely be returning.
Pleasant host. Everything one needs in the house. Nice braai area on the stoep. Lots of board games to keep everyone busy. Will definitely visit again.
Andre is very friendly and helpful, the house has everything you need, beautiful pond view, nice board games. The dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer are a nice asset. Will definitely visit Die Vette Fish again!

Chalet was clean, neat and has everything you need. A home away from home. Grounds clean and safe with good fishing. We were well received. All in all a recipe for rest and relaxation.
Very nice cottage with awesome dam view, very quiet and peaceful, equipped with more than you need, what a bonus to even use a dishwasher, bunnies running around there and the pet pigeon that even boated along, having great fun supply. Andre is very friendly and helpful and makes you feel right at home the moment you arrive, we will definitely become regular visitors and definitely recommend Die Vette Vis.

Andre is a good host. Perfect for fishing beginners. Can throw porridge from the side. Got fish at 30m. Very nice village with enough places to drink for the adults.
Amazing place and owner was very helpful thank you for great service and fishing place will definitely go back and recommend to everyone.
Will definitely tell others about this place.
I don't think it's possible to meet a nicer friendlier guy than Andre. He really goes out of his way to make you feel at home. My wife complained that the beds were too comfortable LOL. Would definitely visit again.
We were 6 ladies who went away for the weekend. The host, Andre, was very friendly. The places are wonderful, right on the banks of the Vaal Dam. The sunset is beautiful. There is absolutely everything you need. I would recommend it to anyone to visit.
Andre and his wife, the owners, were so accommodating. They even built a wheelchair ramp for my mom before we arrived. We were welcomed by a friendly Andre and shown around before he left us to enjoy our holiday. The only thing we missed was a swimming pool as it got really hot. However the dam is there with a really well built jetty for launching our boat easily. Will most def be going back again. Thanks Andre.
Exceeded our expectations even though the fishing was bad. Will return in summer as the waterfront is perfect for fishing.
The owners went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Providing more than expected at a holiday house! If I could give 10 stars I would. Excellent host and such friendliness, you are an amazing person and we will definitely be booking your place again when the weather is warmer.
Die Vette Vis was amazing from start to finish. We had a great time visiting and staying, fishing too. It's such a peaceful atmosphere. They are extremely friendly, make you feel welcome immediately. Thank you very much André, you will definitely see us again.
Has everything you need after a hard day of fishing.
Owner was very friendly and there were no mistakes. Als very clean and tidy and the location is perfect.
Andre, was very friendly and helped quickly if there was a question, The slack place was very comfortable and clean. The visiting area was nice and big enough. The whole place is nice and big so the children could run around and play on the grass. Boats are welcome, just be careful of the rocks in the water (bottom). Thank you Andre.
I cannot fault this venue. View, location, accommodation, pet friendly and safety is all outstanding. From our arrival on Friday 19 March till we departed on Monday 22 we could not complain about anything. The host went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as can be. The view of the dam is magnificent. I would recommend this place to everyone.
Good service and value for money. Owner was very friendly and helpful.
We were kindly greeted and shown around. The house is perfect for a nice break from the city. There is a nice stoep where you can barbecue and enjoy the sunset. The house is located near the water, with a toilet by the dam. Definitely recommend Die Vette Vis.
Thank you very much for an amazing holiday, Andre and his wife are so hospitable and there is everything you would need, we pitched our tent down by the water, and the children enjoyed the large open space and fishing very much enjoy, the fatty fish is clean, tidy and very safe. Will visit there again for sure.
Our host was very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is well equipped, neat and clean. Lacking nothing. Fantastic location. Will most definitely stay there again!
Thank you Andre for your hospitality.
The owner was very friendly at all times and gave us a warm welcome and what I can honestly say after he welcomed us we didn't see him again until we left when I handed over the keys again and that's what ' n one (as guests) expects, so once again we appreciate such behavior/kindness from him!
André is very considerate and friendly and willing to answer all questions.
The accommodation is very well equipped.
Die Vette Vis is a very nice place for a group of friends or even a family.
The accommodation was clean, comfortable and has all the required amenities. Andre was a super host and made our stay very enjoyable. The location was fantastic and I caught some nice carp. Everything you need is right there and we had a fantastic weekend away! Thank you for your fantastic hospitality Andre! Great place!
A lot of feelings around the view. We caught carp, yellowfish and king carp. Very friendly host. We will definitely want to relax at Die Vette Vis again.
Very well furnished and tidy. Everything we needed was there. Thank you very much.
