Hi, I’m Robin van den Berg from Rose Cottage in Gariep Dam.
Gariep Dam IS BEST KNOWN FOR superior accommodation at affordable rates and stunning view of the dam and wildlife.
GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN AT the Gariep Dam wall.
THE BEST Gariep Dam PICTURES CAN BE TAKEN AT the entrance road leading up to the upper town.
OTHER HAPPY SNAPS AT Rose Cottage restaurant.
WHEN THE WEATHER’S GOOD, I LIKE TO get on my Jetski and head into open waters on South Africa’s largest inland dam.
WHEN THE WEATHER’S BAD, I LIKE TO go to our local pub and grub “Chilatyd” and sip on a glass of sherry while huddled around their indoor fireplace.
I THINK THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT IS March, BECAUSE the weather is excellent and its out of season.
