We cater for families, family reunions, caravan clubs, golfing groups, fisherman,  friends, corporate functions and youth groups. The kiosk keeps the normal: Ice, wood, charcoal, cold drinks, ice-cream, beer, tackle, etc. As with other resorts, it is normally not so busy during in season and midweek, but during peak season you can expect more visitors. Parys is a very popular tourism destination with a lot of curio shops, cosy dining places etc. The Vaal de Grace golf course developed by Nicky Price on an island is very popular, as is the Parys golf estate. There are a few game farms in the area, and while driving through the Dome Bergland. Venterskroon is also an interesting place to visit. There are a few good hiking trails in the mountains. The yearly “Crater Cruise” mountain bike event and Parys adventure festival are events not to be missed. One of the best 4x4 trail in South Africa is on our doorstep.    IN AND AROUND PARYS: FOR THE KIDS: Jungle gym and baby pool for the small ones. The bigger kids can use the swimming pool, do target shooting and paddle on the river with dad.
