Customers & Guest Testimonials
Smiths Cottage has warm and friendly hosts, would definitely go back. Very clean excellent service. Thank you Keith and Pat.
This place was perfect for my needs! It was close to the airport, super clean and very safe. Keith and Pat are also amazing and very hospitable.
The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I stayed for a month in Durban whilst working and I couldn’t imagine better hosts than Pat and Keith. They went above and beyond at every opportunity and truly made me feel like one of the family. Smith’s cottage is a home away from home. 10/10
