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!
Property Facilities:*Walks and Hikes
*Vaal Rafting
*Mountain Biking

The ideal getaway close to Johannesburg. Look no further than our beautiful Otters' Den guest house at the riverside. Or maybe choose the Full Moon Bush Cabins for your group exclusively.

Parys Reviews
Restaurants and quaint shops
Loved the quaint town and the tranquility of the area. Great accommodation options for a week-end break-away.
The Scenery so beautiful, and the breeze.
Did not spend any time in Parys town.
Many choices of resorts.
Very unique town and friendly.
The fact that we could park our car and walk where we wanted to be was great. The antique shops and "Lekker Bistro" made our trip so much more worth it. The fish shop in town is amazing.
We enjoyed our stay at Flyfishing paradise and a delicious mouth watering dinner at my favourite restaurant Hoi Polloi.
