A special place to stay that we will remember for a long time. The location is stunning, with mountain views over the Tugela Valley as far as the eye can see. The facilities are extensive and well maintained. We found everything comfortable and convenient. The jacuzzi and log fire on two cold evenings were a treat. It's a four hour drive from Pretoria, quite acceptable for a weekend getaway.

'n Besonderse blyplek wat ons lank sal onthou. Die ligging is asemrowend, met 'n berguitsig oor die Tugelavallei so ver mens kan sien. Die geriewe is omvattend en goed onderhou. Ons het alles gerieflik en gemaklik gevind. Die jacuzzi en kaggelvuur op twee koue aande was iets besonders. Dis vier ure se ry vanaf Pretoria, heel aanvaarbaar vir 'n naweekwegbreek.

Dumbe is the perfect getaway where it feels like time stands still. Dumbe brings one closer to nature. The complete peace and quiet and the breathtaking view are just what one needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city.

Dumbe is die perfekte wegbreekplek waar dit voel of die tyd stilstaan. Dumbe bring 'n mens nader aan die natuur. Die volkome rus en stilte en die asemrowende uitsig is net wat 'n mens nodig het om van die besige stad se lawaai af weg te kom.

Thank you very much Dumbe Cottages. Have a wonderful stay. The four nights were just too short! See you again. Beautiful place. Very nice and relaxing. The place is ideal if you want to stay longer than one night and like privacy and silence. Really quiet and the scenery and view are wow! Very neat and clean with everything you need. Just make sure you have enough supplies. The nearest shop is far and the 12 km dirt road is a bit rough for cars. WiFi and cellphone reception are excellent. What about pensioner discounts?

Baie dankie Dumbe Cottages. Heerlik gerus. Die vier nagte was net te kort! Sien weer. Pragtige plek. Baie lekker gerus. Die plek is ideaal as jy langer as een nag wil bly en van privaatheid en stilte hou. Regtig stil en die natuurskoon en uitsig is wow! Baie netjies en skoon met alles wat jy nodig het. Sorg net dat jy genoeg voorraad het. Die naaste winkel is ver en die 12 km grondpaadjie is bietjie rof vir motors. WiFi en selfoon opvangs is uitstekend. Wat van pensioennaris afslag?

Beautiful view, peaceful, in nature. The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful – peaceful, clean and perfect for a person to really switch off and enjoy nature. The cottages are neat and very comfortable. This is the ideal place for a weekend getaway with family or friends (each cottage only sleeps 2 people). We really appreciated the tranquility and beautiful view. We went home refreshed and recharged. We will definitely go back again and can confidently recommend Dumbe Cottages to anyone looking for a peaceful, quality getaway near Harrismith/Bergville. Pack a warm jacket, it can get quite cold (even though it is summer!). Note that the last 10 km or so is a gravel road - make sure your car is geared up for it - but definitely worth it.

Mooi uitsig, rustig, in die natuur. Die omgewing is asemrowend mooi – rustig, skoon en perfek vir ’n mens om regtig af te skakel en die natuur te geniet. Die kothuise is netjies en baie gemaklik. Dit is die ideale plek vir ’n naweek-wegbreek saam met familie of vriende (elke huisie vag slegs 2 mense). Ons het die rustigheid en pragtige uitsig ongelooflik waardeer. Ons het verkwik en herlaai huis toe gegaan. Ons sal beslis weer teruggaan en kan Dumbe Cottages met volle vertroue aanbeveel vir enigeen wat ’n rustige, kwaliteit wegbreek soek naby Harrismith/Bergville. Pak 'n warm baadjie in, dit kan lekker koud raak (al is dit somer!). Let wel dat die laaste ongeveer 10 km grondpad is - maak seker jou kar is gerat daarvoor - maar definitief die moeite werd.

Comfortable and private. Beautiful views from Dumbe unit 5. The unit has all the amenities one would need to make your stay comfortable. Great for a couples' break away, very comfortable and very private. We did not see a single person during the 2 days we spent there. Highly recommend Dumbe!
