It\u2019s a beautiful balmy day in May when I make my way to Dome Glamping SA<\/a> \u2013 a luxurious but laid-back glamping site in Paarl \u2013 for a two-night mid-week stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m surrounded by the towering Klein Drakenstein, Stellenbosch and Jonkershoek mountains, and immediately catch my breath, in awe of how incredibly small I feel in comparison. The gentle flowing Berg River is a mere stone\u2019s throw away from where I stand and I\u2019m greeted by a variety of birds frolicking in the water. A family of Egyptian geese gently glide across \u2013 mom, dad and two cute goslings in tow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take in the soothing scenery before entering my tent. Beautifully and tastefully decorated, there\u2019s a comfortable queen-sized bed, complete with luxurious linen, and the en-suite bathroom has a spacious walk-in shower. Out on the deck, you\u2019ll find an undercover, fully equipped kitchen, braai area and wood-fired hot tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading back inside, I take a quick, refreshing shower before pouring myself a glass of ice-cold Chenin and plopping down on the comfortable deck chair. Again, I take in the sight of the majestic mountains and the vistas of vineyards in their autumn hues on the other side of the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, in the quiet and tranquility, is where my mind stops racing and every second reverberates \u2013 little pensive pauses between heartbeats. Time goes by slowly \u2013 in the best kind of way \u2013 and before I know it, the horizon becomes a canvas of yellow, orange and pink. The sunset is remarkable, and, right on cue, the myriad of birds erupt into song \u2013 distinct calls evolving into a harmonious symphony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dome Glamping is where you go to switch off and reconnect not only with nature, but with yourself or each other. There are no awkward silences, no twiddling of thumbs \u2013 there is only peace in the quiet moments and eager anticipation of the beauty that the next day will most certainly hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
