Yes I've been there (Watervalley) for a guided Hunt.
My father and myself have taken many people out on many hunts and decided that it was time for someone else to guide 'us' on a hunt.
Watervalley has some absolute terrific deer there,....at certain times of the year,....in certain locations of the property.
Watervalley is host to several P.H's (professional hunters) or hunting guides in other words and a hunting trip can be made to be either fantastic or a disappointment, all depending on who you book your hunt with.
there are a couple of hunting businesses that use watervalley that I would not use as others who have used them have been let down.
however,...our guide that we hired was absolute professional in all manners and he knew his stuff.
over the three days we were there we had an absolutely fantastic time and came home with the following;
a large trophy grade 14 point red deer stag that the fussiest of hunters would foam over, that I shot at 190 meters.
a large fallow buck with a full and equal sided palm rack, that was shot at around 170 meters.
a fallow doe that we shot for meat that was shot at around 140 meters.
over the three days there we had the chance to stalk up to various species of deer on many occasion, to get a good look at them through bino's etc to see if they were trophy worthy etc.
long story short,...we had one of the best experiences one could ever have, and we plan on going again next april to get a rusa or a chital.

apart from the guide fees and accommodation fees, we paid $1700 just for the red stag alone, and I can't remember what we paid for the fallow buck.
was it worth it?
Absolutely.
Both the 'red', and the fallow, have been professionally taxidermized and are mounted in my fathers lounge room wall.(next to the Sambar and the Rusa heads
