Overnight en route to the Drakensberg.
Lovely accommodation on a large property in the quiet side of Smithfield. It was like a treasure hunt for my 4 year old son to play there. Had a wonderful rest. Kitty from Bluegum Cottage was incredibly hospitable and the cottage was very cozy and well equipped. Kitty also made us the most incredible lamb stew for dinner, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you very much Kitty for your hospitality. Will definitely come again.

Good safe stay in renovated accommodation.
The hostess, Kitty, tried her best to make us feel as at home as possible. Tips for her is that the concrete flat roof above the master bedroom leaked slightly in two places during the constant rain the night we were there. It would also be a great improvement if a partition was installed around the shower, because the entire bathroom floor currently splashes wet when it is used.

It is reasonably priced but very basic.

Thank you for your review. I have placed more photos on the TravelGround website so that guests can see in more detail, what the stairs look like as well as the placement of the single beds in the large kitchenette- and lounge room. I hope this will help. Most people love the spacious cottage even though the extra single beds are in the kitchen. I am sorry that the stairs were too steep for you, but I hope you had a comfortable night's rest non the less.

Dit was 'n oulike plekkie en baie kunstig versier, maar ek sal nie dat 'n gesin daar bly nie.

It was a cute little place and very artistically decorated, but I wouldn't let a family stay there.
Very well equipped for single couple or family with children over 16. 2 beds are in the kitchen, so if you have a 2 year old who needs to be in bed by 8 pm, she has to sleep upstairs where the stairs are a challenge. Otherwise you cannot use the kitchen. Also, the shower doesn't have shower doors, so the whole floor was wet after I showered. It looks nice, but it wasn't practical for us. The garden is also not well maintained, so one would rather just stay inside the house. I would recommend air conditioning. Very hot in the evening. The fans were not sufficient for me.

Ek neem kennis van jou terugvoering. Ek is teleurgesteld oor dit. My fotos wys presies soos wat julle dit ondervind het, binne in die huis. Ons lewe nou 3 jaar met droogte en dit is hoekom my tuin onversorgd voorkom, wat my eintlik baie hartseer maak. Ons in Suid Africa weet almal nou ons moet water spaar. As jy gevra het vir 'n bed vir die baba sou ek met graagte 'n plan vir julle in jou kamer gemaak het. Op my blad hier is duidelik geen melding van lugreeling nie. Hier is jy nie om die bos gelei deur my nie.
