Best Place I Stayed In
Keith and Pat could not have done more to make our stay better. We actually had a free apartment to stay in on the Bluff but after one night we moved back in to Smiths Cottage. Pat was always ready to offer advice if we wanted to do something and often drove us where we wanted to go. Keith is a legend. He often got dragged into the pub by us (sorry Pat). The accommodation is great with good food, a bar, and a lovely pool. I especially liked the pool house, which we booked into for our second stay.

We were stuck for a place to stay and from internet pictures and reviews we decided to stay st Smith's Cottage. Throughout our time we were treated totally unfairly we were lied to and judged. This is definitely a hostel for older people and the owners friends, very cliquey! Smith's Cottage was the downside to our trip. We recommend not staying here!

After staying in Botswana for three months doing my internship at a hospice, I decided to spend my last week in Durban. I had the best time with Pat and Keith -- wonderful people. I enjoyed every day I spent at Smith's Cottage and when I go back to South Africa, I will definitely stay with them again.
