For those seeking a classic, no-fuss escape on the banks of the Vaal Dam, @97Weltina offers a tranquil retreat focused on the simple pleasures of fishing and family time. Located between Deneysville and Oranjeville, the resort is reached via a 3km stretch of gravel road, a short transition that takes you from the tarmac of the R716 and into a more peaceful, waterside environment.
The resort is designed so that dedicated anglers don’t have to leave the rest of the family behind. While you settle in for a patient day of fishing along the shoreline, others can make the most of the on-site facilities. A well-maintained swimming pool provides a welcome escape from the Highveld heat, and a dedicated play park will keep younger children happily occupied. The open, spacious grounds also make it a great place for kids to safely ride their bicycles.
The camping here is relaxed, with the focus squarely on the outdoor experience, supported by essential comforts like clean ablution blocks. Day visitors are welcome to enjoy the setting, but as the resort prioritises its overnight campers, it is always recommended to call ahead to confirm availability, particularly over weekends. With prior arrangement, small, well-behaved dogs are welcome to join your family for the trip.
