Homely and relaxed. The stay was lovely and very homely. One can't help but feel welcomed by Johan's friendliness and comfort.

Huislik en ontspanne. Verblyf was heerlik en baie huislik. Mens kan nie help om deur Johan se vriendelikheid en gemak welkom te voel nie.

Calm and informative. We had a very nice stay. Our host was very pleasant and helpful.

Rustig en insiggewend. Ons het baie lekker gebly. Ons gasheer was baie aangenaam en behulpsaam.

5 star overnight accommodation. Perfect for an overnight stay on the way to Cape Town. Well appointed and clean. Can get breakfast or dinner / both on request, very convenient if you are just staying overnight. Clean and neat well appointed rooms with aircon / fans. Recommend it and will use Johan again myself.

5 ster oornag akkommodasie. Perfek vir oornag oppad Kaap toe. Ingerig en skoon. Kan ontbyt of aandete / beide kry op aanvraag, baie gerieflik as julle net oornag. Skoon en netjiese goed ingerigte kamers met aircon / waaiers. Beveel dit aan en sal self weer van Johan gebruikmaak.

A quirky, comfortable, peaceful stay. A lovely little gem for weary travellers. Johann was very hospitable and made us feel at home. The meals were superb and the accommodation was very comfortable with everything that we needed after a long day on the road. Johann's artwork made for interesting conversation. Would definitely be going back should we travel that route again.

Charming, safe, quiet and warm in the very cold Free State winter! A perfect overnight in a charming, off the beaten track destination. Johann is an excellent and friendly host, happy to provide a home-cooked meal on request (very handy, because Smithfield doesn't have many meal options) and solid travel tips. It's safe, quiet and has everything you need.

Quirky, purple home away from home. Johann has put together a comfortable, casual and arty space where you can relax after a long day's drive. We stayed in The Gallery room and enjoyed the luxury bedding and the aircon. His hands-on approach means you can ask for anything and it'll appear; we were waited on hand and foot. The town is quiet and an ideal stopover between the Eastern Cape and Gauteng. P.S. Johann's steak is superb - take the dinner!

Calmer e. Our family had a very nice stay. Johan is a great host and made delicious salad and vegetables for our braai, as well as a tasty omelette for breakfast the next morning. The beds are very comfortable and we rested well.

Rustiger e. Ons gesin het baie lekker oorgebly. Johan is 'n goeie gasheer en het heerlike slaai en groente vir ons braai gemaak, asook 'n smaaklike omelet vir ontbyt die volgende oggend. Die beddens is baie gemaklik en ons het goed uitgerus.

Dedicated hospitality. Lovely rural atmosphere. Was a very pleasant sleepover experience.

Toegwyde gasvryheid. Heerlike plattelandse atmosfeer. Was 'n baie aangename oorslaapervaring.
