It is not far from the town of Rehoboth, in an area characterized by stony hills, sandy valleys and mountains. There are a wide range of waterfront activities and accommodation, and it is a family orientated destination. All ages are catered for, and there is a huge variety of fish, birds and antelopes, that are particularly attracted to the lake. The reflections of the moon and stars on the lake, is particularly romantic.
Meals are served in the restaurant, from the 'a la carte,' menu, and can be complemented by a sundowner or night cap from the fully licensed bar.
Waterfront accommodation is in a combination of single, twin and family room. They each have their own bathroom and shower, (with hot water) private verandah with views of the lake and mountains, and a garden with a lawn. Bedding and towels are available.
