The Boat

 We use a 5,5 meter Aluminium boat, built just for Tiger fishing with spinning decks at the front and back of the boat. Ample seating and shade on the boat takes the discomfort out of long sessions on the dam. C.O.F certified boat, experienced skipper, with plenty life jackets on board makes for a safe trip on the water. The boat is certified for eight persons but four people fishing is ideal, so that everyone can fish unhindered. Free tea and coffee onboard, and cooler box for keeping your drinks cold.

Accommodation

We stay in a three bedroom prefab style house with a lounge, dining room, kitchen and bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. The house has hot water and a big plus in summer is that it is air-conditioned. The main bedroom has a double bed and there are two single bedrooms each with a single bed. Extra mattresses can be arranged, no problem. There is a pool and a small bar a 100 meters from the house. Cooldrinks are R4,50 each and beers about R7,50 each
