NEED ASSISTANCE

[JL]

Hi guys, sorry for posting here, but didn't know exactly where to look or post. Tried a search but is not the info I was looking for.

My son is turning 16 and want to take a few friends (10) for bass fishing, swimming, and general fun in the sun for a weekend. Is there any place in and around PTA, JHB, Brits, etc. where we can take them and which is safe. Will do bank fishing and want a safe place that will not become too crowded. Unfortunately, we don't have camping gear, so it must be with a place with self-catering chalets and does not break the bank. All info appreciated.

Thanx

JL

Try Oppikoppie bass farm - near Brits - 082 802 5063 or Klein Paradys, also near Brits 012 252 1938. KP is a real Paradys, but you have to book.

Klein Paradys is baie nice!

het klein paradys chalets?

Hi guys, thanx for the replies. Klein Paradys looks nice, but only 3 chalets available, more suited for caravans and campers it seems. But it seems like this chalet option is expensive!! Will have to discuss this with the wife and reconsider. Oh, how I wish I had better contacts with Bass dam owners.
Will give Oppikoppie a call.
Someone also referred me to Sediba Kwela in the Rustenburg/Brits area. Anyone knows exactly where it is and how the bass fishing is there?
