84 guests' feedbackJasmine Cottages gave us exactly what we needed from an overnight stop: a very warm welcome from our host, a lovely, clean and comfortable room, and charcoal for the braai so we could cook our dinner. I heartily recommend Jasmine Cottages.
The beds perhaps a little hard and no need for winter bedding on a warm night, but I would consider a stay next time we are on a road trip. The host is a wonderful and a pleasure to talk to.
The room was luxurious - no kidding! Spacious and very comfortable; spotlessly clean and well-prepared. I was a little concerned at first that there was not a kitchenette in it, but the host showed us to the kitchen in the main house, just a door away from our room. The host made every effort to welcome us and make us feel at home.
Very neat and comfortable.
Very nice stay. Place environment, neat accommodation and peaceful reception.
Stunning room with a beautiful garden. We had a comfortable overnight stay. The host was fantastic and very accommodating. Will definitely be making another visit in the future.
Lovely stay, very quiet, tidy and safe.
It was a lovely quiet little place, with a really nice and caring host.
The most beautiful cottages! Stylishly decorated, squeaky clean, quality linen and beds. We had the most comfortable stay. The host was so friendly and made excellent dinner recommendations. We travelled with two dogs, and it was absolutely hassle-free. Beautiful garden and just all around an absolute pleasure.
Don was most welcoming, helpful and friendly.
Don was a super host. Gave us a wonderful welcome, very informative and helpful.
Jasmine Cottages accommodation is just what we needed to break the long road between Gauteng and East London. Our host, Donald, was incredibly hospitable and welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. The accommodation is top notch and we "slept like hell".
Very pretty room. Very hospitable host. Very pleasant stay.
Fantastic. The host makes every effort to ensure guests' comfort and enjoyment. Exceptional place.
Donald was helpful and provided some interesting conversation.
Would recommend to anyone, slept well and felt very at home, full of homeliness.
Didn't enjoy cigarette and food smells in the bedroom.
See stars.
Don is such a friendly host. Unfortunately, the property has no backup power and so this is not ideal in the current loadshedding situation. The power also pumps water so there was no water. Our host did inform us about this so it was not a problem but just something to keep in mind if booking the property.
Don received us with friendliness. The place is in a quiet part of town and we could get a good night's sleep in before our onward journey.
Friendly and accommodating.
Don was a wonderful host. We had everything we needed, snacks, tea, and cereals but the best part is the beautiful rooms at this cottage. Beautiful Victorian feel.
We were travelling with our 7-month-old baby and the host kindly offered us a room with a bath at no extra cost.
We had such a pleasant stay - our host reached out to us prior to arrival to wish us a safe trip, which we really appreciated. On arrival we received a warm and friendly welcome. Beautiful garden and well maintained buildings. The room was clean, neat and spacious. We loved all the attention to detail within the room. Will highly recommend this hidden gem.
We loved the time we spent here. The host, Don, was very friendly and a good host. The room was beautiful and it is obvious that a lot of care has been taken to make one's stay comfortable. A lazy sundowner on the verandah ended a busy but productive weekend for us. We will certainly consider this overnight stay on our travels again.
Pleasantly surprised by this wonderful plaace.
The location is opposite informal settlement and feels unsafe. Our room was inside the house and not a cottage. Location feels unsafe. We found a room in the house that smelled like smoke. We thought we were going to have a private cottage as per the ad. The village is very remote and neglected.
Beautiful, clean and very tidy cottage with lovely garden. Don is an exceptional host who went out of his way to make our and the two dogs' stay as comfortable as possible.
Very comfortable, with everything we needed.
A lovely, peaceful stay. We arrived with a warm welcome by wonderful host Donald. Fresh fruit, tea, coffee and a selection of cereals were available in our cottage. The beds were comfortable and the whole cottage is spotless and clean. Had the best pizza down the road and met some lovely, friendly people. Had a wonderful break and will definitely visit again.
Being provided with fresh fruit, milk in the fridge, wine and fresh flowers is very welcoming. Everything in the rooms was very comfortable and aethically pleasing. Would certainly stay here again if overnighting in Smithfield.
Great experience, definitely going to do it every year.
This was our second visit to Jasmine Cottages. Beautiful cottage. It is peaceful. The owner Don is very friendly and he makes you feel right at home. Thank you so much for the fruit and chocolates.
The cottage had everything needed and a bit more. The fruit and chocolate were a lovely touch.
Jasmine cottages is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, there was adequate hot water with a pump where other guesthouses in Smithfield had no water over the weekend. We felt at home and Donald made us feel welcome. Variety of breakfast foods such as cereal and fruit to nibble on. Beautiful garden, comfortable beds, clean rooms and linen.
Very cute place. The host is very friendly and helpful. The unit was very neat and clean and very well equipped.
Great stopover, a beautiful cottage and Don was an excellent host very friendly and accommodating.
Jasmine cottages was an unexpected lovely stay in a town we usually just pass through. It is the perfect overnight stay, and Don is such a lovely host. There were more amenitites and thoughtful touches in the Jasmine cottages, than I have seen in a long time. Fresh fruit and chocolate on arrival, and even farm fresh milk and cereals. Surprised in the best way possible, great value for money, highly recommended.
We had a very enjoyable stay. Cottages were immaculate and had everything in that you would need. Donald was helpful and very friendly. Will definitely stay again.
Jasmine Cottages was by far the most expensive of the 4 nights and the most disappointing. It is marketed as as an upmarket venue but it's got a bit of a run down feel about it. Load shedding is awful for everyone, but power was off in the morning and no option to make a cup of tea (a small gas burner would sort this). The water depends on electric pump which meant there was not a drop of water to brush my teeth in the morning and certainly no shower (even a cold one). Load shedding has been around long enough for some work arounds to be put in place for paying customers. Bathroom needs ventilation and has musty damp smell. Don was however a very decent and helpful chap.
Neat and clean. Friendly host.
Don was so friendly and helpful. He was super hospitable. We immediately felt at home and got a wonderful night's rest.
Don made us feel truly at home. His cottage was tastefully decorated and had air conditioning for a freezing cold evening. He even left us fresh milk in the fridge and breakfast porridge. I would recommend Jasmine Cottages anytime.
Pretty environment, very warm on a cold day, pet friendly and secure. The perfect stop over in Smithfield and we have tried a number. We will be back.
The owner is friendly and helpful. Very neat, clean and immediately feels at home. Would definitely recommend anyone passing through Smithfield to stay at Jasmine Cottage. Just for a lovely weekend break, or holiday, definitely a must.
Apartment tastefully furnished, neat and clean. A pleasure to stay there.
Don was very welcoming and went out of his way to secure dinner for two weary travellers. Comfortable room - bed a little squeaky, but had a good night's rest.
Beautiful, neat, comfortable, clean, affordable and far above expectations. Attention to small details. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone.
We were received with kindness and were taken care of. Donald was very helpful. The kitchen is well equipped, the living area comfortable and the rooms spacious.
Jasmine Cottages is a good overnight stop to the Eastern Cape from Gauteng. The unit we slept in is not in the photos, and appears to have been built after the photo shoot. The unit in question sleeps 5 people, and is divided into 2 sections, which are semi-private. One section sleeps 3, and the other sleeps 2, separated by a middle door, each with its own bathroom. The back part of this does need work with the front door, which has been damaged by rain, and a fungus growing inside. The unit's bathroom roof also leaked, which was promptly repaired when we mentioned it. The exterior of the section also needs finishing and painting. Furthermore, the units are very comfortably furnished, with coffee-making facilities, milk and fruit. Pleasant overnight stay.
Neat, clean, tastefully furnished. Value for money.
Very beautiful, modern place. Clean and beds very comfortable. Kitchen could do with a hotplate as there was only a microwave. Other than that it was a lovely stopover - was beautiful to see all the stars in the night!
Already the second time we stay there. Everything is in great condition and the owner is very friendly.
The accommodation unit is just right for overnight, for a day or more. It's the first place where coffee, tea, sugar, fresh milk, three types of breakfast cereal and fruit are available and it's not B&B accommodation - it's self-catering. Furthermore, there is a light device in case the power goes out, as well as mosquito repellent. There's just nothing to complain about. Had a wonderful stay for two nights. It's also a quiet area, no noise from neighbors or cars. Thank you very much Don West.
A number of homes are in need of TLC.
Donald was a gracious and kind host and the staff was friendly. The cottage we stayed in was pet-friendly, charming, and welcoming. Would 10/10 recommend and would love to stay here again.
I wasn't sure what to expect in Smithfield and by Jasmine, but I was surprised! Jasmine was truly a nice place to stay. It was clean, tidy and with everything I needed. Upon arrival, the fresh fruit on the table was exceptional.
Als according to me was perfect.
A gallant, well-mannered host who knows exactly how much he needs to be interested and do before withdrawing. Unmatched sleeping facilities.
We were kindly received. Room was very clean. Bed slept well and everything needed was available.
We were pleasantly surprised with Jasmine Cottage. When the door opened in front of us, we couldn't believe what we were seeing! Beautifully decorated and equipped with all the essentials one can think of. Really well thought out. We did not meet the owner on arrival (due to a personal issue), but his warmth was reflected in the cottage. We did meet him the next day. We had a great time, and thoroughly enjoyed the real country atmosphere!
We specifically booked the Jasmine Cottage long in advance for 2 adults and our 3 dogs for our overnight stop. Jasmine Cottage was given to someone else and we were put into another cottage which was to a large extend still a construction site. We did not enjoy the fact that the cottage was in the process of being renovated and appeared to have someone else living in the space, with their toothbrush and used soaps in the bathroom, and food items in the fridge. I am sure that this cottage will be lovely once completed, but we were disappointed that this mess up came to our attention only 1 hour before arrival in Smithfield!
See stars.
Kitchenette had coffee, tea, breakfast cereal and a fruit basket and ice in the freezer. The unit is beautifully decorated and DStv available.
Very neat living room with all the necessary facilities and extras! Would definitely recommend it.
The owner, Don, made us feel very much at home and made a lot of effort. I would recommend the stay without a doubt.
A great overnight stay en route to beach destination - highly recommended.
Good accommodation backed by even better service but beware of too much clutter.
Donald is a true host. Beautiful and well equipped room in the main house. Had a nice overnight stay.
If you can think of it, it's there. It's more than your money could buy. I have never had such a lovely stay and with such welcoming people too. The room was above excellent and we enjoyed every little detail. I promise you you won't regret staying with Jasmine Cottages!
We will definitely use Jasmine again.
Truly an exceptional experience. Host very friendly and room was beautiful. Quiet home atmosphere, had a great time relaxing.
The owner was very organised beforehand by finding our when we would arrive and helping us to find a restaurant.
Donald is the perfect host and made us feel welcome. The port helped a little with the cold. The extras like milk, porridge, tea and coffee and biscuits and fruit round everything off perfectly. We can definitely recommend this place. It's worth the detour to stay the night here. We will definitely stay here again.
Don is a host who has his visitors' interests at heart. We felt very welcome. The chalets were clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again on the way from/to the Eastern Cape or visiting the Free State. Highly recommend.
This is 5 star accommodation. Everything you would ever need and more. Our host was friendly and accommodating and would go to any lengths to please. Tastefully decorated, neat and clean as a pin. A very pleasant experience.
Donald was extremely accommodating and his venue is one of the best places I have stayed in, I would highly recommend staying there if you are in Smithfield. Thank you Donald, for making our trip memorable.
Enjoyed our stay at Jasmine Cottages, the room was very neat and well furnished. Friendly service from the staff and the owner.
Only one problem, booked for the cottage and on arrival got a room indoors.
See stars.

Beautifully clean and tidy with safe accommodation.
Doing additions on site. Room was 5 star and highly recommended. Would definitely stay there again if in the area. This is our best overnight experience. .
