Many historical buildings and churches, some over a century old, add to the town's unique character.

While history is a major draw, Dundee also offers a variety of attractions for a well-rounded holiday. The surrounding area is noted for its agricultural industry, particularly dairy, beef, and game ranching, providing opportunities for game viewing, birding, and even fishing. Guests can embark on guided tours specialising in military history, Zulu culture, or explore the natural beauty through hiking and horse trails. Dundee serves as an excellent central base for visiting iconic sites such as Rorke's Drift, Isandlwana, and Blood River/Ncome, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a deeper understanding of South Africa's heritage.
