“On the Rocks” is situated approximately 15 kilometers from the Lynnwood Road / Hans Strijdom Drive intersection, with easy access to the dam.
The dam is about 1.3 hectares in surface size and varies in depth.
The Zwavelspruit feeds the dam and some trout can be caught in the stream.
The dam is stocked a few times per year starting in early April.
It is stocked with Rainbow, Brown and Golden Trout and the sizes vary from about 400 grams upwards.
The dam is a haven for bird life.
At the dam there are picnic sites available with “braai” facilities and toilets.
Nearby, about 4 kilometers away, is the Bafana Cash Store for those last minute items which one may have forgotten, such as charcoal or refreshments.

We have accommodation available in the form of a garden cottage, which sleeps max 4 people and is a furnished self catering unit.
