Excellent except for the violation of our privacy by the security camera in the bedroom.
I would highly recommend Dumbe, everything was tidy, well equipped and worth spending time there. However, the whole experience was marred when I noticed the security camera in the bedroom. This is a serious violation of our privacy and I would like an explanation from the owner on the matter.

Dumbe Cottages 's response
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.

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.

For a quiet getaway, Dumbe Cottages is perfect for everyone. Fully equipped, very private and well located. Beautiful views of the mountains. With wind whistling and the fire burning in the fireplace one could not ask for better. We have in Dumbe no. Stayed 4 and it was just what we needed for a romantic weekend away. The spa bath with mountain views was fantastic. The tranquility on the deck even better. We will definitely visit Dumbe again. This is a must for anyone who wants to get away from the hectic life of the city.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I stayed there on a previous occasion and it was lovely. I chose Dumbe for the celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary because the Jacuzzi/bath, with the beautiful view. 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.

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.

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.

Blissful, peaceful with a beautiful view.
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.

Wonderful, calm, food for the soul.
We were in Dumbe no 4. It was lovely. The tranquillity enfolds you the moment you get out of the car. It's so beautiful and very private. The wind was a bit rough, could not enjoy the balcony from 14h00. But the sunrise early in the morning makes everything worthwhile. We will definitely go back again.

Incredible views and nice and private. Units are well equipped and the cleaners were very helpful. Buy a lot of wood in winter and prepare the fireplace for a romantic weekend. If you are cycling, maybe Solly (owner) will show you his mountain bike trails, breathtaking. Perfect for 2 people who want to break away ... you'd wish you could stay longer.

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.

The well located sandstone houses each have a wonderful view of the blue Drakensberg in the distance. A variety of wildflowers and black cattle that grazes around the Retief pass ensured hours of entertainment. The house is well equipped and the staff are friendly. Three days' rest here feels like three weeks! Dumbe Cottages is number 1 on my getaway list.

What an experience!
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. The only thing that I would've liked different is the shower in chalet 1 and not a corner bath like chalet 2, 3 and 4. But is was good value for money.

It was extraordinary! Only suggestion is a proper braai, not on the deck but somewhere where you can make a nice fire. Other than that, it was beautiful, clean and neat, and the cleaning ladies was lovely. We had a nice walk and saw the most beautiful wild flowers and took a lot of photos. Also, thanks to Zenobia and LekkeSlaap for excellent correspondence. The LekkeSlaap-team is the best.
