Vaalvlei

A fishing paradise in a mountain and farmland setting, close to the picturesque town of Stanford

Situated close to the picturesque town of Stanford lies a little bit of trout fishing paradise in a mountain and farmland setting. Awesome views of the Kleinriver mountains. Working farm with vineyards, goats and springbuck.

Vaalvlei farm, 9km north-east of Stanford, is owned and worked by the Terblanche family. The 3ha vineyard is planted on “koffieklip” and sandstone soils and the proximity to Walker Bay can also be observed in our wines. Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz grapes are produced here in this new and exciting wine producing area, which are used to make handcrafted wines.

Experience excellent fly fishing for rainbow trout, brown trout and bass in two spring-fed lakes. Kids can fish for bluegill and tilapia. There are two cozy self catering cottages within a stones throw of the lakes. Other activities include wine tasting, bird watching and mountain biking.
