Was amazing. The view was amazing, it was so quiet. The place was cozy with the fireplace inside. Would definitely book again.

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!

Incredibly beautiful! Lovely area with a beautiful view. We also ventured up Retief Pass on foot. It was truly special. Dead quiet with an eagle flying past every now and then.

Ongelooflik mooi! Lieflike area met 'n pragtige uitsig. Ons het ook Retiefpas te voet aangedurf. Dit was werklik besonders. Doodstil met 'n arend wat nou en dan voor jou verbyvlieg.

The view is indescribably beautiful. We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation, view and sunrise are indescribably beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful place with others.

Uitsig is onbeskryflik mooi. Ons het verskriklik lekker gerus. Die verblyf, uitsig en sonsopkoms is onbeskryflik mooi. Baie dankie dat julle die pragtige plek met ander deel.

Wide open space. The views are spectacular. The seclusion is peaceful. The chalets are comfortably charming.
