Gariep Dam Reviews
Spectacular surrounds.
Convenient beautiful day!
Stunning views!!
Views over the dam. The dam itself.
The view and lovely nature.
Sundowners at pool and bar area. Amazing views of Gariep Dam
Amazing to view the dam overflowing.
The location is good when you want to overnight on the trip between Johannesburg and Cape Town. The town itself is a bit dreary - all precast homes that date from when the dam was built - but you don't go there to be indoors.
We were there just before full moon, and the moon on the water was lovely. The dam itself is very impressive.
Boat cruise was nice.
