Introducing Vaal Delta at the Vaal Dam! Self-drive & Self-cater in Safety! Cook or braai yourself or splash out with our dinner, bed and breakfast special packages - to celebrate the new, out-door Sisters Dam Pub.

Just an hour by road from Jhb., the Vaal Dam is Gauteng's 'land-locked sea', its shores defining the center of the Vaal Triangle and borders of Free State and Mpumalanga.

Swim, sunbathe, boat or spot the biggest population of inland, waterbirds!

Yes, our water is clean, bilharzia-free and supplies our biggest metros with their drinking water. And the Dam ‘flushes’ the lower, Vaal River and Barrage (Vereeniging, VDBP and Sasolburg), so don’t get the Dam confused with those, reportedly, polluted places!

Vaal Delta is in Deneysville itself but right at the water's edge, away from the CBD. We sit on stunning views of South Bay and the original Lake Deneys and offer you water access!

Our Sisters Dam Pub (fully licensed), is adjacent to the property and services the units (D/B&B) or self-catering!

Rest and relaxation await you with waters wide and space endless across our 31 000sqm parkland over-which the apartments look!

----------------------------------------------------------

We offer a variety of configurations to suite all at our modest complex right on the shores of the Vaal Dam. Self-catering and dinner BnB are available to couples and both small and large groups or families getting together at our Vaal Waterfront, Deneysville.

With action aplenty you won't fall short of activities to keep you busy. Fish by day, swim or take a boat trip or safari cruise on our aqua uber. Or, if you are a skipper, self-sail round the island - yes there is one, 7km long! Alternatively, we can arrange the Party Boat for you - taking up to 30 people (3 hours on the water).

We organize events, firewalking, all-day braais and beach bashes are back-to-back at the bar.

Indoors, aside from our, unique wide-open views of the water, we offer jacuzzis, pamper zones and games rooms - all for your exclusive and private use.

Our accommodation is diverse with different configurations suitable for visitors be they couples, families or groups. The apartments are on the second and third floor elevation so there are some steps, but the views are unequalled at the Vaal Dam.

Rooming options include large and small penthouses, each of which boast vast views of South Bay (the original Lake Deneys), as well as water access, (one of a handful of establishments that offers prize positions at the dam at no extra cost or effort)!

Following the rains, the water is brimming! And the flamingos are back, together with gulls, terns; fish-eagles, are among the 60 water bird species which populate the dam - and counting. They're in their element as the ecology favours their breeding and eating patterns. And fishing is rife!

Simply walk down to our gardens and into the park to fish, sun-bathe or swim, pick-nick or boat - or even go island spotting as the rainy season subsides.

Leave from our property and return to a neighbouring marina within walking distance. (We'll take care of the heavy stuff, or you can be ferried back with the skipper or driver.)

Have a braai while you watch the yachts sail by.
