Uitsig was ongelooflik, en sonopkoms net so asemrowend.

Behalwe vir 'n lastige wind was alles uitstekend.

Ons het heerlik uitgerus so tussen die berge.

Ek kan net nie genoeg kry van die eindelose berge en die stilte nie.

Rustige ontmoeting op die berg.

Asemrowende uitsig vanaf eenheid no 5 waar ons gekuier het. Staproete is nie te moeilik nie, maar wel die moeite werd vir die uitsigte. Die 4x4-roete laat jou na jou asem snak. Neem alles saam, want winkels is ver van jou af as jy vinnig iets benodig.

Quiet meeting on the mountain.

Breathtaking view from unit no 5 where we visited. Walking route is not too difficult, but well worth it for the views. The 4x4 route leaves you gasping for breath. Take everything with you, because shops are far from you if you need something quickly.

Baie lekker gekuier in die natuur met onvergeetlike uitsigte.

Uitstekende ligging met asemrowende uitsigte. Die uitleg van die huise is baie goed gedoen en oral is daar 'n uitsig oor die vallei en berge. Daar is ook 'n effektiewe kaggel wat sorg dat die koue buite bly. Vir ons as natuurliefhebbers is dit 'n uitstekende bestemming. Sal vir seker weer kom kuier.

Very nice time in nature with unforgettable views.

Excellent location with breathtaking views. The layout of the houses is very well done and everywhere there is a view of the valley and mountains. There is also an effective fireplace that keeps the cold outside. For us as nature lovers, this is an excellent destination. Will definitely visit again.

Enjoyable.

Enjoyable stay. Would propose that a map of the area is provided to visitors, noting points of interest, together with a map of the various walking/hiking trails and the cycling and running trails. Hiking/walking trails are clearly marked in the garden outside the unit, but there is no indication of how long the trail is, nor the level of difficulty. Hence, a map of these trails, together with the relevant information, would be very useful.

Wat 'n belewenis! Die natuur buite met alle geriewe binne.

Baie lekker! Die dek het beslis aandag nodig. Alles verder het perfek gewerk. Baie dankie, ons kom definitief weer. Ons het die uitsig deur die baie vensters en die stap orals in die omgewing besonder baie geniet.

Buiten uitsig, ietwat van teleurstelling.

Daar was geen lig in die kombuis nie, mikrogolfoond het nie gewerk nie. Braairooster was smerig en geroes, die oorvloei van wasbak het direk in pottekas ingeloop. Geen foto wat mens gewaarsku het van hoë en gevaarlike trappe vanaf parkeerplek na huis nie, gesukkel om bagasie af te dra. Ek het 'n boodskap aan Elma gestuur en wag nou nog vir respons.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Out of view, somewhat of a disappointment.

There was no light in the kitchen, microwave did not work. Grill was dirty and rusted, the overflow from the sink ran directly into the cupboard. No photo that warned one of high and dangerous stairs from parking to house, struggle to carry luggage down. I sent a message to Elma and am still waiting for a response.

Dumbe Cottages 's response

Nadat ek die chalet gaan inspekteer het, na die gas se vertrek, het ek die volgende gevind:
Daar is nie geen lig in die kombuis nie, indien jy skerper verkies, is daar paraffien lampies en 'n LED lig.
Geen fout met mikrogolfoond, die glas bord was net nie mooi op die spoortjie nie.
Geen fout met kombuis wasbak, die wasbak is net te vol water getap.
Die braairooster was nie vuil nie want dit word elke keer tussen gaste gewas, dalk 'n bietjie geroes agv baie klam en mistige weer.
Die ongelyke ligging en area in die berge vereis dat ons genoodsaak is om trappe te gebruik. As gaste sukkel om trappe te gebruik, moet hulle dit net voor die tyd noem dan plaas ek hulle in 'n meer gelyk chalet.

Dumbe nr 3. Bo ons verwagting.

Sedert ons aankoms by Dumbe 3 was dit 'n asemrowende ervaring. Die uitsig is onbeskryflik mooi en die stilte was net wat die siel nodig gehad het om te herlaai. Die stap roetes maak voorsiening vir alle fiksheids groepe. Die weer het baie mooi uitgewerk en op ons voorlaaste dag was ons heerlike ingehok met n vuurwarm kaggel vuur. Baie lekker vir n enkel paar om net weer mekaar te vind. Die kombuis was ook goed ingerig. Sal beslis dit aanbeveel.

Dumbe no 3. Above our expectation.

Since our arrival at Dumbe 3 it has been a breathtaking experience. The view is indescribably beautiful and the silence was just what the soul needed to recharge. The walking routes cater for all fitness groups. The weather worked out very nicely and on our penultimate day we were wonderfully cooped up with a blazing fire in the fireplace. Very nice for a single couple to just find each other again. The kitchen was also well appointed. Would definitely recommend it.

Rustig, ontspannend, privaat en pragtige omgewing.

Ons sal beslis weer na die stukkie "hemel" toe terugkeer. Ek gaan dit beslis aanbeveel aan almal wie ek ken. Die foto's spreek boekdele. Al konstruktiewe terugvoer wat ek wil gee, is dat die dubbelbed baie ongemaklik slaap en vervang moet word.

Hierdie dame was ongelukkig nie op die regte plek nie.
Sy wil met 'n teerpad tot teen die chalet, in die berge, ry.
Die see sal meer gekik wees vir haar behoeftes.
Hierdie "slegte grondpad" word deur onsself in stand gehou, die regering dra al lankal nie meer by nie.

Uitstekend behalwe vir die skending van ons privaatheid deur die sekuriteitskamera in die slaapkamer.

Ek sou Dumbe baie hoog aanbeveel, alles was netjies, goed toegerus en die moeite werd om tyd daar deur te bring. Die hele ondervinding is egter geskaad toe ek die sekuriteitskamera in die slaapkamer opmerk. Dit is 'n ernstige skending van ons privaatheid en ek sal graag 'n verduideliking van die eienaar wil hê oor die aangeleentheid.

Kothuis is goed ingerig. Pragtige uitsigte waarna jy vir dae kan kyk. Die onvoorspelbaarheid van die weer hou dit interessant en gee geleentheid vir aktief wees, maar ook om rustig te verkeer met 'n boek sonder om skuldig te voel. Opsies vir staproetes sal wel baie help.

Van die beste uitsigte in die land.

Die uitsig van 180 grade uit die cottage (nr 5) is feitlik ongeëwenaard. Mens kan die hele dag net op die houtdek sit en kyk hoe die landskap van tot 50 km ver in alle rigtings verander. Die kothuis is luuks, met 'n heerlike bed, elektrisiteit en gas wat behoorlik werk, en goeie selfoonopvangs (om na behoefte met die buitewêreld te skakel). Dit is in vele opsigte uniek. Dit is ook aan die einde van die pad (wat liewers met 'n robuuste voertuig aangepak moet word) en dus het 'n gas die hele landskap vir hulleself.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Some of the best views in the country.

The 180 degree view from the cottage (no. 5) is practically unparalleled. One can just sit on the wooden deck all day and watch the landscape change in all directions from up to 50 km away. The cottage is luxurious, with a lovely bed, electricity and gas that work properly, and good cell phone reception (to connect with the outside world if needed). It is unique in many ways. It is also at the end of the road (which should preferably be tackled with a rugged vehicle) and so a guest has the entire landscape to themselves.

Paid for the view and it was worth it.

The toilet seat is broken and there were muddy footprints all over the house that we had to mop with a mop hanging on the veranda. The diaphanous single-ply toilet paper was too cheap. But the setting and the view were out of this world!

Gorgeous views, totally private.

We stayed at Dumbe 1 and it was superb! Absolutely gorgeous views from every angle and very private. You can see a little of Dumbe 2 from the lounge and bedroom windows but otherwise feels like you are out in the wilderness. Amazing! We went on loads of beautiful hikes across the plateau and down into the valley, past cows, buck and loads of birds. Dumbe 1 is the only one without the spa bath but we didn't mind as the shower is lovely with cobbled stone detail. It got misty on one of our days so we got a chance to light up the fire and have a lovely cosy day. We would strongly recommend this place to anyone in need for a proper break from busy city life! We loved it!

Stukkie goud weggesteek in die berge.

Verblyf uit die boonste rakke! Netjiese en snoesige kliphuis met 'n kaggelvuur en borrelbad vir die perfekte atmosfeer. Die eenheid het alles wat jy nodig het. Privaatheid, kalmte en rustigheid is wat jy hier sal vind. Asemrowende uitsig van die berge met 'n staproete wat 'n stukkie geskiedenis van die area insluit. Sal beslis weer Dumbe besoek! My aanbeveling is egter om jou pad soontoe aan te durf met 'n 4x4!

Vir 'n rustige wegbreek is Dumbe Cottages perfek vir almal. Ten volle toegerus, baie privaat en goed geleë. Pragtige uitsigte op die berge. Met wind wat suis en die vuur wat brand in die kaggel kan 'n mens nie vir beter vra nie. Ons het in Dumbe nr. 4 gebly en dit was net wat ons nodig gehad het vir 'n romantiese naweek weg. Die spa-bad met berg-uitsigte was fantasties. Die rustigheid op die dek nog beter. Ons sal gerus weer Dumbe besoek. Dit is 'n moet vir enige iemand wat wil wegbreek van die gejaagde lewe van die stad.

The ideal "getting away from it all".

A return visit to Dumbe Cottages because we love the seclusion, peace and absolute silence. The Retief Pass and other 4x4 tracks were an adventure, especially as most of it was seriously overgrown compared to the previous visit. Saw a huge puffadder just in time! There were vehicles and searchlights briefly flashing at night which made us uneasy, although it was not close to us. The motion detector spotlight on the veranda provided excellent peace of mind. Will definitely visit again!

Rustig - het ons batterye volgemaak.

Was die die beste ervaring - ons het net gerus. Dit is vir seker 'n plek om weg te kom van die besige alledagse lewe. Is nie 'n plek vir kinders nie - wegbreek vir ma en pa alleen. Baie dankie het lekker gerus. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Asemrowend mooi, baie stil en 'n lekker plek vir 'n naweekwegbreek.

Die cottage is baie netjies en gerieflik, maklik om te kry met 'n besonderse uitsig. Die diens is baie goed. Selfs toe ons so bietjie met die kaggel gesukkel het was die eienaar binne minute daar om dit reg te stel. Dumbe sal ons vir seker weer sien.

The epitomous getting-away-from-it-all.

We saw these cottages many years ago when we visited the Kaalvoetvrou monument and promised ourselves that one day we will stay over. That day finally arrived, and it was well worth it in all aspects. It is quiet - really quiet - peaceful, with stunning views of the valley and the Berg to the west. Raptors and swifts fly past at eye-level and the thrush feeds its chicks beneath the eaves of the verandah. The cottage is well-equipped and very roomy. The bathroom (in my opinion always the crucial indicator) was clean with lots of space, and a pleasure to use. We spent hours sitting outside staring in the distance - what better way to relax! No TV, what a pleasure. Definitely a return destination.

Ongelooflike plekkie met niks en niemand wat pla.

Ons was 2 dae daar en dit het meestal gereën. Dit sal gewoonlik 'n hengse teleurstelling wees, maar die plek is te mooi om te verlaat. Die kamer is ruim en luuks, en vir dié wat hulle 4x4 so bietjie wil toets, is dit perfek. Ons het die Normandienpas om gery om daar te draai wat ek ook kan aanbeveel. Let wel, goeie grondvryhoogte is 'n vereiste.

Note, good ground clearance is a requirement.

Ongelooflik rustig en stil met asemrowede uitsigte.

Van die bespreking tot ons daar kom en weer terug, was net seepglad. Vat net genoeg warm klere saam. Dis altyd koud of koel daarbo. En vat ordentlike hout saam om te gaan brand in die kaggel. Hulle hout brand baie gou uit al is daar baie. Sal ek weer gaan? Vir seker! En liewer nie met 'n sedan-motor nie.

From the booking until we got there and back again, was just smooth sailing. Just take enough warm clothes with you. It's always cold or cool up there. And take decent wood with you to burn in the fireplace. Their wood burns out very quickly even though there is a lot. Would I go again? For sure! And preferably not with a sedan car.

Tweede keer en werklik onbeskryflik mooi en kalmerend. Mens ontspan totally.

Was onvergeetlik en No 4 was eenkant en baie lekker privaat en die parkering is 'n uitdaging. Skoonmakers verstaan mens net nie lekker nie want 1ste dag vir hul gesê ons sal self skoonmaak want dis ons natuur om dit te doen maar was elke oggend vroeg verras met hul voor die deur terwyl mens wil lê en die uitsig bewonder en rustig wees. Verder was daar 'n verstommende 60/70km wind die hele 5 dae daar wat buite sit ongemaklik gemaak het, maar die kaggel was absoluut 'n wenner. Baie dankie vir die netheid en gerief. Sal beslis binnekort weer besoek.

Second time and truly indescribably beautiful and calming. One relaxes totally.

Was unforgettable and No 4 was to one side and very nice and private and the parking is a challenge. Cleaners just don't understand you very well because on the 1st day we told them we would clean ourselves because it's our nature to do that but were surprised early every morning with them in front of the door while you want to lie down and admire the view and be peaceful. Also, there was an amazing 60/70km wind the whole 5 days there which made sitting outside uncomfortable, but the fireplace was an absolute winner. Thank you very much for the cleanliness and comfort. Will definitely visit again soon.

Asemrowend mooi.

Die verblyf is ontsettend netjies, skoon en veilig. Eenheid is ten volle toegerus. Natuur is onbeskryflik mooi en word hoogs aanbeveel as jy rus vir jou siel en gemoed nodig het. Neem tydskrifte of "bordspeletjies" saam, want buiten die staproetes en besienswaardighede gaan jy gou verveeld raak indien jy langer as 2 nagte bly. Ons het dit ongelooflik geniet en het goed uitgerus teruggegaan huis toe. Sal beslis weer gaan - wil graag teruggaan in somer maande, want ek kan nie eers dink hoe die natuurskoon dan moet wees nie.

The accommodation is extremely neat, clean and safe. Unit is fully equipped. Nature is indescribably beautiful and is highly recommended if you need rest for your soul and mind. Take magazines or "board games" with you, because apart from the walking routes and attractions, you will soon get bored if you stay longer than 2 nights. We enjoyed it incredibly and went back home well rested. Would definitely go again - would love to go back in summer months as I can't even imagine what the scenery must be like then.

Rus vir die siel.

'n Pragtige stuk grondpad lei jou dieper die berg in tot jy alleen teen 'n berghang stop en daar net 'n kothuis en oop vallei voor jou lê. Niemand en niks anders is in sig nie en daar kan mens heeltemal ontspan. Die kothuis is baie goed ingerig en in my vrou se woorde "ek het my droomhuis gekry". Die uitsig reg rondom is prentjiemooi en die kaggel skep 'n romantiese atmosfeer saam net die olielampe. 'n Hoekbad met waterstrale is die perfekte afronding tot die dag. Gaan gerus en weet jy sal 'n beter mens terugkeer.

Rest for the soul.

A beautiful stretch of dirt road leads you deeper into the mountain until you stop alone on a mountainside and there is only a cottage and open valley in front of you. Nobody and nothing else is in sight and you can completely relax there. The cottage is very well appointed and in my wife's words "I found my dream home". The view all around is picturesque and the fireplace creates a romantic atmosphere with only the oil lamps. A corner bath with water jets is the perfect finishing touch to the day. Feel free to go and know you will return a better person.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde!

Die goed geplaasde sandsteenhuisies gee elkeen 'n wonderlike uitsig tot teen die blou Drakensberge in die verte. 'n Verskeidenheid veldblomme en swart beeste wat rondom die Retiefpas wei het ons ure se vermaak verskaf. Die huisies is goed toegerus en die personeel vriendelik. Drie dae se rus hier voel soos drie weke! Dumbe Cottages is no. 1 op my wegbreeklysie.

Three days' rest here feels like three weeks! Dumbe Cottages is number 1 on my getaway list.

Awesome!

Alles wat ons op die vorige verwysings gelees het, is waar en om dit self te kon beleef was iets besonders! Enigste iets wat ons sou voorstel is 'n behoorlike braai, nie op die dek nie, maar onder waar mens lekker kan vuurmaak. Verder was dit asemrowend mooi, skoon en netjies en die dames wat skoonmaak is dierbaar! Lekker gestap en die mooiste veldblommetjies gesien en afgeneem sonder ophou. Dankie ook Zenobia en LekkeSlaap omdat julle die heeltyd kontak hou na die bespreking tot op die dag van ons aankoms. Die LekkeSlaap-span is die beste!

Knus gehug, asemrowende uitsig.

Met aankoms is ons gegroet met die uitsig van die vallei, die huisie was netjies en skattig. Ongelukkig het die wind in die agtermiddag ons verwaai en ter wille van veiligheid ons braaiplanne van stapel gestuur. Ons het maar die kaggel gestook en in die knetterende vuur se lig die ween-lied van die wind aangehoor. Dit is 'n verwelkomende saligheid wat stadsjapies sal welkom heet. Die nuwe dag was nog versteek onder die berg se mis-kombers toe ons die eerste koppie troos geniet, saam met die spookagtige figure van vee en wild. Ons was vroeg dag Clarens toe en in die agtermiddag met ons terugkoms het die wind sy refrein vertoog. Ons het ten midde van die weer, voor die kaggel vir mekaar die die voorsiende geskiedenis boekie voorgelees. Algeheel die omgewing, die geskiedenis, die stilte, en die uitsig is voorwaar ‘n een van daai juwele wat jy moet ervaar om te kan waardeer. Geen resensie of foto sal die berggehug reg aan doen nie.

Cozy hamlet, breathtaking view.

On arrival we were greeted with the view of the valley, the cottage was neat and adorable. Unfortunately, the wind blew us away in the afternoon and for the sake of safety we launched our barbecue plans. We lit the fireplace and listened to the wail of the wind in the light of the crackling fire. It's a welcoming bliss that city jays will welcome. The new day was still hidden under the mountain's fog blanket when we enjoyed the first cup of comfort, along with the ghostly figures of livestock and game. We went to Clarens early in the day and in the afternoon on our return the wind played its chorus. In the middle of the weather, in front of the fireplace, we read the provided history booklet to each other. Overall, the environment, the history, the silence, and the view are truly one of those gems that you have to experience to be able to appreciate. No review or photo will do the mountain hamlet justice.

Daar is nie nog so uitsig op hierdie aarde nie - asemrowend.

Heerlike naweek-wegbreek. Dit was koud en stormagtig met geweldige reën en wind, maar heerlik warm en 'cozy' met die vuurherd binne. Die uitsig is iets besonders en ons was gelukkig om soggens so uur daarvan te hê voor die miswolke weer toegesak het.

Totale vryheid van gees en liggaam.

Die eenheid word elke dag gediens en die kaggel gepak vir vanaand. Elke eenheid is totaal privaat. Die uitsig oor die vallei daar onder is onbeskryflik mooi. 'n Mens kry nie genoeg daarvan nie. Ek het ook gehou van die geskiedenis wat gekoppel word aan die grond self. Ek het ook dan die 4x4-roete gedoen en dit baie geniet. Wees net bedag dat jou GPS jou by die agterkant wil laat inkom as jy van Bergville af kom en die roete moet eerder nie gevolg word nie. As jy van stilte en afsondering hou kom bly gerus hier.

Total freedom for the body and the soul.

This unit is serviced every day and the fireplace is readied for the evening. Every unit is totally private. The view of the valley is indescribably beautiful. One simply can't get enough of it. I also like the history of the estate itself. I enjoyed the 4x4-route. Just know that the GPS wants to take you to the back if you're driving from Bergville and that this route should be avoided. If you like silence and isolation, stay here.

Was 'n besonderse ervaring.

Ons verblyf was ongelooflik en die rustigheid met die uitsigte was baie mooi, wat dit nog meer spesiaal gemaak het was die geskiedenis in die omgewing te doen met Piet Retief. Al wat ek anders sou wou gehad het is chalet 1 het 'n stort en nie 'n hoekbad met uitsigte soos chalet 2, 3 en 4 nie,maar dit was goeie waarde vir ons geld.

Our accommodation was unbelievable and the tranquillity with the view was beautiful. What made it more special was the history of the area and Piet Retief.

Afgelegen bergnest met uitzicht, op de grens tussen de Vrijstaat en Natal.

We verbleven in cottage 1 (van de 5). Dit was het hoogstgelegen huisje. De natuur om je is verbluffend en op het terras zit je er helemaal middenin. De poetsdienst is elke dag gekomen om alles grondig op te ruimen en schoon te maken. Het grondpad naar de Dumbe cottages is 14 kilometer lang en je vindt het het beste door de wegwijzers naar het Kaalvoet vrou-monument te volgen. We hebben er elke keer zo'n half uur op gereden, dus verwacht je aan tijdverlies. Langs de andere kant is het pad wel een prachtige route door de bergen, waarop je je elke keer kunt vergapen aan het landschap, bokken, struisvogels en we zagen zelfs een secretarisvogel. Ondanks het tijdrovende pad liggen de Dumbe cottages tactisch goed tussen de noordelijke drakensbergen aan de ene kant en het Golden Gate Nationale Park en Clarens aan de andere kant. Het ontbreken van wifi voelde wel als een gemis.

Secluded mountain nest with a view, on the border between the Free State and Natal.

We stayed in cottage 1 (of the 5). It was the highest situated house. The nature around you is stunning and on the terrace you are right in the middle of it. The cleaning service came every day to tidy up and clean everything thoroughly. The dirt road to the Dumbe cottages is 14 kilometers long and the best way to find it is to follow the signs to the Barefoot Woman monument. We drove about half an hour each time, so expect a loss of time. On the other side, the road is a beautiful route through the mountains, on which you can marvel every time at the landscape, goats, ostriches and we even saw a secretary bird. Despite the time-consuming road, the Dumbe cottages are strategically located between the northern Drakensberg on one side and Golden Gate National Park and Clarens on the other. Missing wifi did feel like a miss.

Beautiful country side with breathtaking views. The cottage is very comfortable and is kept clean. If you need to get away from the rushed city life, this is the place to go. I would have liked to be met by someone on arrival and given a map and a list of possible activities that could be done. Although very private, the cleaners did walk in on us during a morning bath which was a little embarrassing. I liked the open plan bath, but a more private toilet would be nice.

Rustig en naby die natuur.

Ek het op 'n vorige keer daar gebly en dit was heerlik. Ek het Dumbe gekies vir die viering van ons 35ste huweliksherdenking a.g.v. die Jacuzzi/bad, met die mooi uitsig. Met bespreking was geoorgedra dat Dumbe self besluit waar jy bly, ek het dit aanvaar, want in die foto's op die website het elke eenheid 'n Jacuzzi/bad. Met ons aankoms, was ons baie teleurgesteld, ons 'n eenheid gekry sonder 'n Jacuzzi/bad. Ek voel hulle mislei 'n mens doelbewus anders sal hulle sukkel om daardie eenheid uit te verhuur. Ek sal almal waarsku teen die misleiding. Die oggend met vertrektyd het die skoonmakers al 09:20 opgedaag en ons het tyd tot 10:00 voor dit vertrektyd is, baie onprofessioneel en onaangenaam.

When booking it was conveyed that Dumbe himself decides where you stay, I accepted this, because in the photos on the website every unit has a Jacuzzi/bath. Upon our arrival, we were very disappointed, we got a unit without a Jacuzzi/tub. I feel they are deceiving one on purpose or they will struggle to rent out that unit. I will warn everyone against the deception. The morning at departure time the cleaners arrived at 09:20 and we have until 10:00 before departure time, very unprofessional and unpleasant.

Dumbe Cottages 's response

Aangesien alle gaste vir ons ewe belangrik is, en ons nie sekere gaste bo ander bevoordeel nie, laat ons nie toe dat gaste 'n chalet kies nie. Dit is nie regverdig teenoor ander gaste nie. 1 Van ons eenhede het 'n stort en die ander 4 het baddens. Ek wil ook net hierdie gas reghelp, dat hierdie chalet waarna verwys word, elke naweek en gedurende die week, vol bespreek is, en dus nie nodig is om gaste te mislei nie. Die pragtige natuur en uitsig, is vanaf die deck en binnekant van elke chalet, duidelik sigbaar, nie net vanuit die bad nie.

Perfect for a quiet weekend away and a thorough digital detox.

The tranquility and breathtaking views, fireplace, braai, jacuzzi, gas stove, privacy and even the occasional inquisitive cow herd made for an overall atmosphere that is without a doubt one of the best we've experienced in our travels. There is a great hike walking distance from the Cottage. It is the same trail used by the Bush & Berg MTB event. We even managed to spot a secretary bird prancing about below. Take with a book, a hat & binoculars! Absolutely lovely place, highly recommend it.

Asemrowend mooi. Hemel op die berg.

Vir seker een van die beste plekke om rus vir jou siel te vind. Asemrowende uitsig oor die berge, volledig toegerus vir gemak. As hemel aarde toe moes kom en dit self op die berg bevind, is Dumbe die plek waar dit neergeset is. Die stilte, natuurlewe en omgewing doen iets aan 'n mens, dit verander 'n mens en gee jou nuwe lewe en ontspanning soos niks vantevore. Ons beveel Dumbe Cottages hoogs aan en sal vir seker weer daarheen keer as die lewe in die stad te veel raak.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Heaven on the mountain.

For sure one of the best places to find rest for your soul. Breathtaking view of the mountains, fully equipped for comfort. If heaven had to come to earth and find itself on the mountain, Dumbe is the place where it was deposited. The silence, wildlife and environment do something to a person, it changes a person and gives you new life and relaxation like nothing before. We highly recommend Dumbe Cottages and will definitely return there again if life in the city gets too much.

Salig, rustig met pragtige uitsig.

Dumbe se verblyf was salig en rustig. Die stilte sielsverrykend en die uitsig asemrowend wat Kersfees 2016 baie spesiaal gemaak het. So lekker om te kon wegbreek uit die stad se geraas en die bure se kermende brakke wat treur oor hulle eienaars wat oor Kerstyd op vakansie is. Dit was ook 'n belewenis om die Retiefpas te kon uitry. Daarvoor het jy 'n 4x4 voertuig nodig, maar bly weg wanneer die pas nat is. Ons sal Dumbe graag weer wil besoek.

Dumbe's stay was blissful and peaceful. The silence soul-enriching and the view breathtaking which made Christmas 2016 very special. So nice to be able to get away from the city's noise and the neighbors' whining beagles who mourn their owners who are on holiday over Christmas. It was also an experience to be able to ride out the Retief Pass. For that you need a 4x4 vehicle, but stay away when the pass is wet. We would love to visit Dumbe again.
