- Smithfield
- Pig-Out Restaurant
Very good food and above all an excellent and relaxed atmosphere
make this my favorite place. Must confess we also became good
friends with the owners, but that's their own fault since they are
such nice people.
Both the bar and the restaurant are great and some local produce are
also sold. See their page here.
- Artists' Colony ****
AA Highly recommended
Snuggled in the historic heart of Smithfield, is a quaint, cosy,
colourful Karoo style guest house with the character and charm of
156 years of South African platteland heritage. A heartwarming and
refreshingly different soul escape awaits the traveller at Artists'
Colony in Smithfield's only National Monument.

The food was great, the atmosphere good if you are out for a

small ones). Better make a reservation in advance.
