    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.
