Vacation rentals with a kayak in Vaal River

This unit is part of a well-established and long-popular resort in a fabulous location within the central Berg. It's an excellent base to explore the many attractions this part of the world has to offer, but the resort also offers several amenities in its own right.

Lovely little spot on the river when you just want to get away for a bit. Cottage was safe, secure and peaceful.

This really is a beautiful spot if you looking for some time out. Unfortunately we were in and out for a school sports tournament with not the greatest weather so would have loved to be able to have had more time to stay. You do have to travel on a portion of untarred road but we all managed to reach our destination in a variety of car types. My favourite feature of that house is the well appointed kitchen - often in staying in self catering houses you are supplied with the bare minimum - which is definitely not the case here. Teas and coffees and basic condiments were such a nice touch - right down to a garlic press and an air fryer. Would definitely recommend!

This was our second visit to Frans place and it was as if we returned to family. Fran and Rick are extremely accommodating superhosts and we will definitely recommend them and their place without any reservations. Frans is our go to home away from home. We are completely spoilt at the lodge and we are looking forward to our upcoming 3rd visit. Thank you for sharing your place with us Fran, we love you guys, see you soon.

A Perfect Riverside Escape We recently spent a weekend at this charming 2-bedroom house on the banks of the Vaal River, and it was everything we could have hoped for! The location is absolutely stunning, offering peaceful, scenic views of the river right from the doorstep. The house itself was cozy, well-maintained, and had all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest after a day spent relaxing by the water. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. One of the highlights was being so close to the river—it was a delight to wake up to the sound of water flowing and to spend time sitting outside, taking in the natural beauty. Whether you're looking to fish, enjoy a quiet escape, or just relax by the water, this house is an ideal spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the serenity of the Vaal River.

We had an unforgettable stay at Lake Zonk in the breathtaking Drakensberg mountains. Nestled right on the lake’s edge, the views were absolutely stunning – especially during sunrise and sunset, with the crisp air and golden light ushering in the winter season. The accommodation was spot-on for a mountain retreat – cozy, warm, and thoughtfully equipped with plenty of blankets and heaters to keep us snug. The fireplace, both inside and outside, added that extra touch of magic and made evenings feel truly special. One small frustration was the number of flies around – likely due to the season – so next time we’ll come prepared with something to keep them at bay. Still, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting to unwind in nature with unbeatable views and homely comfort. We’ll definitely be back!
