Description

Both B&B and self-catering accommodation in one, the good quality beds and linens, electric blankets, DSTV, Free WiFi, generous sized full bathroom, kitchen/lounge and dining area provide everything you need to have a comfortable night's stay. This accommodation has a generator for load shedding.

The Bluegum Cottage is set in a large private property with lots of secure off-street parking, it lies in the quiet and peaceful area of Smithfield. It is also far away from the sounds of traffic on the N6 which passes through town. Privacy, peace and quiet ensure a good night's sleep.

There are three rooms, two bedrooms with queen size beds and another large room with the kitchen/dining/lounge area and two single beds. One bedroom is upstairs (steep stairs not ideal for the elderly, sorry) and has a large balcony with views all around Smithfield and our “mountain”! Large windows provide lots of natural light and views into the farm-like garden.

The owner Kitty Schneider was a jewellery artist whose quirky sense of decor made the cottage something unusual and unique. Hand-made steps with pieces of broken plates and mirrors at the entrance, the shower floor made from pebbles collected at the beach and the hand-forged burglar bars in the shapes of birds, fishes, cats and flowers, are some of the examples of attention to detail I have used to create this space. The cottage is also spacious, simple and uncluttered.

There are 2 dogs and 3 cats on the property, so pets are only allowed with prior arrangements. There is plenty of space in the garden for children to run around. There is free WIFI too. I do also make very delicious dinners for guests with prior arrangements. Cereals/tea and coffee are included in the accommodation price.
