Description

Halfway between Johannesburg and East London you'll find the historic hamlet of Smithfield. It is a well-known stop-over for travellers commuting on the N6 and the proud home of Nick's Place.

A charming guest house & restaurant, Nick's Place boasts all the comforts that will have you feeling right at home.

Three luxuriously appointed double bedrooms, all ensuite, offer television, electric blankets and heaters for those chilly Eastern Free State nights.

Nick's Place also offers a self-catering, pet friendly cottage, set apart in a fully-fenced, private garden. It has its own fully equipped kitchen, with outside braai facilities and comfortably sleeps two adults and two children. It is ideal for travellers with dogs.

  December 2012 visit to Nick's place
(Mozambique)   Mrs campbell 30 January 2013
The rooms were charming and Ian and his team were very accommodating. Lovely atmosphere and big comfy beds! It was great having the restaurant at the same establishment as after travelling 14 hours the last thing we wanted was to search for a suitable restaurant. We have teenage sons and they demolished the home-made pizzas in record time! Thank you for a great over-night!

  A jewel in the middle of the free state

A beautiful setting in a very secluded area. The best hospitality and gorgeous tasty food served by two very nice people. We had wonderful evening. Highly recommended !!!!!
