37 guests' feedbackHosts were very friendly and helpful. It was nice to be able to order meals at the accommodation and not hunt around for somewhere to eat. The place had a warm home away from home feeling, which was a lovely way to end our holiday.
Very nice stay. The dog also enjoyed a lot.
Barely ok. Bathroom was not good. Dinner was good.
Very nice place to sleep over. Would definitely recommend to travelers.
I was in Smithfield for work. I found the accommodation to be brilliant. The food at the restaurant was great too. No skimping on things like room coffee, etc. Thanks Ian and Fabrice
A venue that is in need of serious TLC. Plaster falling of walls. Bed pillars broken off and never repaired. This is a dog-friendly venue. The disturbance of dogs playing at night in the house was there.
What an absolute gem in Smithfield. Accommodation was superb and the food was outstanding. Surpassed our expectations in all respects!
The only criticism is that the place was cold at this time of year.
Hosts were friendly, room was clean and comfortable. Would reccommend!
Very welcoming and friendly. Having dinner and breakfast was a pleasure.
What a gem in the Southern Free State. Ian and Fabrizio are experienced hosts and we had a wonderful evening in their company. Will definitely stay there again.
We were a group of two families and arrived in the midst of dreaded load shedding. The pizza oven was already fired up and the drinks (soft and adult) were on ice. The rooms are very comfortable and Ian and Fabrice are very welcoming (as were Phyliss, Marie-Lousie and Jasper, and new arrival Napoleon).
We overnighted in Smithfield and 'Nick's Place' was everything we could have possibly asked for. The accommodation is a rambling farmhouse decorated from a bygone era. It's homely and comfortable - from the large beds with crisp white linen, to the on-site restaurant (very convenient as there are not many eat-out places in Smithfield). There is wifi and a generator when there is load shedding. A full breakfast is included in your accommodation cost. Fabrice and Nick made us feel very welcome, even sharing gardening tips and a new kitten with us. 'Nick's Place' was an unexpected discovery that broke a long trip, and we would highly recommend you stay there. Made your heart feel warm.
The rooms and units are beautiful and tidy. All the needs of a weary traveler are catered for. The garden is beautiful and lovely to relax while making pizzas in the pizza oven. Pet friendly.
We also had a lovely dinner at Nick's Place.
The cottage is lovely. Our dogs were with us, fully enclosed, so perfect for them. Gorgeous garden. The hosts were very welcoming. Delicious pizza. And I have to say that the bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. With lovely white linen.
If you are an animal lover, this is the place for you, the dogs and cats are part of the decor. Beautiful, tastefully furnished rooms with the most beautiful antique furniture and friendly hosts.
It was our honeymoon final destination and wow it was magic, honestly a highlight of our trip. Thank you Fabrice.
We stayed in the cottage. It was great in all aspects.
Nick and Fabrice, our very talented and friendly hosts, went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and warm on that freezing cold July night. They were also great cooks and personally gave us an excellent dinner and breakfast in the attractive dining room. We loved that charming old house which is situated in a nice quiet area and in a large natural fenced garden. All rooms and even the corridors are tastefully furnished in keeping with the old world atmosphere and are well maintained. We also enjoyed making friends with their lovable and obedient pets. Lucky to be blessed with such a happy home. Thank you guys. We will be back.
Hospitality, good food and beautiful house.
After a day with grandchildren in the car it was a special place. We received a very friendly welcome, the dinner was tasty and a cozy visit with the hosts and local residents - our dogs were more than welcome (the enclosed garden was definitely a bonus for them), the beds were comfortable and the linen was crisp fresh and the place clean and tidy. We will definitely adjust our route to stay here in the future.
Great stopover in my journey.
This is the second time we have stayed at Nick's Place and will definitely be back for the cozy atmosphere and tasty home cooked meals.
The interestingly furnished room and bathroom had everything that one would require. Beds very comfortable. Received a friendly welcome which set the tone for the whole stay. Dinner and breakfast very tasty. Will certainly stay again.
Friendly reception, beautiful room. Delicious food. Will definitely stay there again. Everything excellent.
We stayed for one night and leave early in the morning after a short perfect breakfast.
Enjoyed the evening sitting on the "stoep" having a delicious dinner with congenial hosts and the company of interesting fellow travellers.
Had the best game spot for dinner.
Beautiful old house but with no suitable road access to Clarens and Golden Gate not sure we would go to Smithfield again.
Clean, comfortable and friendly service. Food good and omelettes outstanding.
Clean, tidy and comfortable.
Very neat and well located.
We were spoiled with delicious home-cooked meals, the room was spacious and very clean.
Old house not miraculously fixed; impression of dusty and "its good enough". Room neat enough but the en-suite bathroom is a cubicle built of thin wood, door can close so-so, place smells musty as if water has been leaking for a long time. But bedding clean and tidy. We love dogs, but their place to sleep in one room with an old mattress on the floor? This is a basic place and lacks attention to presentation.
Nick and Fabrice were wonderful hosts and the dinner and breakfast was delicious. They made us feel very welcome and at home for our stay. We will return when next passing through Smithfield.
Lovely, quiet and peaceful country place halfway to the coast. Nice food on the stoep.
