The Container House

Self Catering in Parys

The Container House is a self catering establishment situated on the Vaal River outside Parys. Constructed from 6 shipping containers and then cladded with decorative panels, this house offers 5 large bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, a large kitchen and a huge central entertainment area. The whole house sleeps 40 and is ideal for a large family or group of friends. There is no tv which is deliberate so that visitors are encouraged to enjoy the outdoors. Visitors are welcome to bring games and a table tennis with bats and balls is available. The Vaal River in front of the container house is very shallow and quite deep in various areas. For this reason, Motor boats can not be used on this stretch of the Vaal. There are a number of canoes with oars which can be used but please supply your own life jackets. This area of the river is considered good for fishing and many large Carp, Yellow Fish and Barbel are caught on a regular basis. We encourage catch and release.

Nearby Accommodation

Parys

Parys is a popular tourist destination, affording the visitor endless opportunities for leisure and adventure. Water sport activities include river rafting, water skiing, canoeing, angling and power boating. Abseiling and gliding facilities are also available in Parys.

The Vaal River, which stretches about a kilometre wide at Parys, is dotted with willow treed islands, on one of which has been built a 9 hole golf course. Access to Golf Island is via a suspension bridge, built high enough to ensure golfers can reach it even when the river is in flood.

Visitors can also choose between a variety of Hiking Trails taking them into the hilly countryside surrounding Parys incorporating game viewing, bird spotting, viewing the remains of diamond diggings along the river and exploring the many battle sites within the vicinity.

Parys was established in 1876 by the Van Coller brothers on Klipspruit Farm. The town was romantically named by its surveyor, Schilbach, who was reminded of the French town of Paris, which was similarly situated along the banks of a large river.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
