I liked everything about the place it’s unique and clean.. I was surprised that the staff also do room service as well because I remember me my family went out and when we came back our room was clean and fresh🫢☺️
Having bath tap in all the rooms because I remember first time when I booked I got the biggest room that has shower as well as bath tap but the one I was in this time didn’t have a bath tap but it was still big and fine

I’m somewhat of a well seasoned traveler both domestically and internationally, so when I take the time to write. Review it is safe to say that the place in question has to be noteworthy. My wife and I decided to spend a night at SmithGrove B&B prior to heading back to Johannesburg needless to say we have been here for 4 wonderful days and have stayed in just about every room they have, each room comes with it’s own signature design and aesthetics which I can only sum up in 3 words “attention to detail” quite young l Now if you couple all of this with the unparalleled service given by the amazing staff makes leaving here most difficult thing to do. So if you are as much as considering this as your destination don’t even bother looking elsewhere but be fair warned staying just one night won’t be enough so you best make provisions to extend your stay from the get go Al & Nicci
Can’t fault a thing

The guesthouse is beautiful and super clean. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. I was very impressed with everything!
I just didn’t like the fact that we didn’t all get rooms next to each other. One of my friends was downstairs while we were upstairs but it’s also not something that wouldn’t make me go back.

Thank you for a very comfortable stay. Siya and Mali were on hand to offer any assistance. The rooms offered everything that was needed.
The bottled water supplies ran out and it did take a while for supplies to be replenished.

The location was great. Decor was so beautiful and our suite was very spacious. Facilities were great n room was very clean n neat. Lucky was incredibly friendly and helpful
Maybe the only thing is the road noise but not much you can do about that.

The place is as beautiful as it appears on the internet
Unfortunately, when we were there, there was an electrical fault in the area most of the night until about 2 or 3 am. Owners should consider investing in alternative power. Otherwise, it's a beautiful place
