We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage! It was perfect for our family of four, with cozy, well-appointed rooms and plenty of space for everyone to relax. The setting was peaceful and beautifully maintained, making it an ideal spot to unwind. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended for families looking for a tranquil getaway!

    Lovely cottage for four, very clean and great value for money. Lovely introduction to Durban (our first visit there) as easy to travel to and from the cottage to the centre / beachfront etc. Shared grounds are lovely and the cottage has more than enough space for family / friends travelling together. Staff on site to help with any queries were very welcoming and helpful - thank you Virginia. Next time we visit Durban we will definitely book accommodation at Smith's

    We have had an amazing time at Smiths cottage! Really comfortable bed and cozy rooms, kitchen and swimmingpool included! The hosts are amazing. They are so kind and really helped us planning our journey through SA and Lesotho and gave us advice about car rental companies! The location is good! Uber drivers were always available to drive you somewhere and it's a super safe area to stay at.
