This is a historic building but the rooms have been modernised to a good standard.
There is a quaint pub for residents only and it was the only place to... read more eat on the Sunday we were there. The meal of trout was very good if somewhat over generous. The owner, Terry, was a genial host and it was an excellent stopover for us. We would stay again if it were on our travel route.

  Most enjoyable stay - I stayed at the Shamrock Arms with my 2 grand children on the way to the Kruger National Park. I received a warm welcome from the very charming host. The... read more room was lovely and we had a comfortable sleep over. A lovely breakfast was served the next morning. Very generous. The host provided us with excellent advice on the local attractions. I cannot fault the experience it was so warm and friendly. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

  We (wife & I) only stayed for 1 night with dinner, bed & breakfast. Dinner was seriously good with tender sirloin. Prepared with great care and very tasty. Marvelous soup... read more as hors d'oeuvre. Cosy pub. Perfect for good conversation and a few pints of the finest. We will go again.

  This was the last place I stayed during my trip to South Africa. It felt like a home away from home. Comfortable beds, a glorious shower, and excellent food. The... read more staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

  On our way to the Kruger national park we needed a stopover and this was it. By reading online My girlfriend fell in love with this area and this... read more village -- so she booked us at this great place -- and I'm so glad she did!

Not only a nice room, in addition three very nice persons. The owner, his daughter and a nice woman helping us feeling at home. (Please forgive me: I've just arrived home after six months off the road (Land Rover tdi! ) that's why I can't remember their names -- sorry)

What I do remember is the lettuce soup we were served. Wow! I'm quite good at cooking, but soups are difficult to get as tasty as I like them. Not this soup! Wow!

After a delicious meal the owner and his daughter sat down with us. We had the most marvelous evening -- and before we went to sleep I had to give him half of my Danish rye bread which my girlfriend had brought from Norway the day before.

Happily he was as pleased with the bread as we were with his soup --- actually as pleased as we were with the whole stay in general. highly recommended! More

  This review is long overdue. We were at WB for a few days of rock climbing and just out of pure chance we stumbled across Shamrock. This small cosy B&B... read more is run by Terry, Cheryl and Sue. As it was the height of winter, we were the only guests there, and boy they really spoilt us! We arrived rather late (by WB standard) and a hot 3-course dinner was waiting for us. Terry and Sue were very friendly, helpful and warm and shared so much of their lives and experience with us. The rooms are at the back of the main building, it’s small and compact, well maintained, the AC worked beautifully. While there’s some traffic noise, the street is quiet in the evening. All in all, we slept like babies. Only to wake up to a giant breakfast waiting for us. Sue has gone out of her way to ensure the food served caters to us specifically and adjusted the portion as we go along. Archie (see pic) comes over to check on us every now and then, it’s quite clear he owns the place. We had such a lovely, warm and wonderful time here and would definitely recommend Shamrock. ☘️

  We stayed for a last minute weekend break over the holiday weekend in August 2019. Terry and Sue were extremely friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the weekend in very... read more good company with excellent food to match. Room was very spacious and clean and will definitely return at the earliest opportunity. Electric blankets were particularly welcome during the cool evenings and an absolute plus as well as the roaring fire in the bar during the evening.

  We booked this accomodation as a stopover on our way to the Kruger and what a lovely place to stay. The welcome we got from Jaco was amazing, he made... read more us feel right at home. This was our first stop after flying from the UK and had not visited the town before. The dinner was superb and the steaks were as good as any restaurant we have been to. The selection of wine was great and we were thoroughly relaxed. It was so good we had another night on our way back to Joburg and got the same warm welcome. Needless to say it wont be our last visit. Terry you have found a diamond in Jaco. Regards Nan and Howard Jenkins

  Definitely recommended. Waterval Boven makes a perfect stop-over between Gauteng and the tourist attractions of eastern Mpumalanga (we were on our way back from the Blyde River Canyon), and this... read more is the perfect base during such a stop-over. Rooms were lovely, spacious and well equipped, dinner and breakfast were great, and the hosts were fantastic. We had a lovely stroll around Waterval Boven towards sunset and also stopped to see the spectacular waterfall to which the town-name refers, on our way back to Johannesburg. We hope to call again.
