If you’re looking for summer fun in the sun come to Otters’ Haunt. We are surrounded by water, forests and mountains in the beautiful Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site. Ideal for family get-togethers and homely holidays, we are near Parys, only 1hr 15min from Johannesburg, on tar all the way. If you’re just arriving or leaving from Johannesburg airport, our place is a convenient port of call. Rustic accommodations include a large guest house which is off the eskom grid, bush camp on Eskom power and chalets on Eskom power, all equipped for self-catering.
In Room Facilities:Established more than 20 years ago, nowhere else near Parys can you find such seclusion and charm. With its pool patio, the house suits families, friends or business associates. It is ideal for small groups wanting to meet and perhaps use our conference facilities over a few days. Other facilities can also be used for larger group bookings, and we can cater meals.
Area Information:The Vredefort Dome World Heritage Site lies at the centre of the world's oldest and largest meteorite impact site. Join a tour from Otters' Haunt with popular science writer Prof Graeme Addison or keen environmentalist Karen Addison, registered tour guides. We do a map briefing, video and impact demo, and go to view sites of scientific and cultural interest. Also, there is a battlefields tour and a township tour. Graeme and Karen are great companions as you drive, walk, or mountain bike the trails. Or paddle on the Vaal, River of the Crater!

To make your stay even more comfortable, we are off-the-Eskom grid. We have installed Solar to power the entire facility. The system is designed to automate power usage and at night the system switches off automatically between 22:00 & 22:30. The system then powers up again before 07:00 every morning.
We request our guests play their part in managing the solar energy and recycling. Please bring battery powered lights for late nights.
