“A fantastic family venue where you can park your caravan and enjoy great fishing and boating activities.” One happy camper, Facebook
“A great place to be, awesome sailing and friendly staff. Theewaterskloof sports club is well prepared and organized for events like the Mirror World Championships and the Grand Slam Sailing races. Affordable camping and membership is definitely worth it if you come regularly to sail. It's great for water skiing or wakeboarding in the morning because there's often not much wind (although it does pick up in the afternoon for sailing).” Gordge family, Google Reviews
“The most beautiful boating venue ever! Many memorable days spent there and the dam still has plenty of water for lots of fun on the water.” Kirsten Veenstra, Facebook
