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.

  This is a hidden gem. We stayed here for 1 night. Sue and Terry are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. The house is a historic building which... read more made the stay even more special. Rooms are great and dinner at the restaurant was excellent. Breakfast was also a real treat. If you are in the area, an overnight stay here is an absolute must.

  We stayed at Shamrock Arms for the first time in 2012 and have been back at least ten times since then. It's a convenient break when driving from our home... read more to Gauteng, but our real reason for going back again and again is the welcome and the atmosphere. On our first visit, a cold and foggy May evening, Jaco made us feel so welcome, switching on the electric blankets, making sure we were warm enough etc. Terry welcomed us in the bar with its roaring fire (and Archie the dog). Over the years the experience has just got better and better. We were devastated by the death of larger-than-life Jaco earlier this year, but Terry is still the perfect host, and with the help of Susan, who joined the team a year or two ago, Shamrock Arms is still the same and we look forward to every visit.

  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.

  My husband had booked a long weekend away for my birthday, to the Shamrock Arms Guest Lodge. Unbeknown to me, my daughter had liaised with management
and advised them of... read more the occasion. We were greeted in the drive way by the avuncular and learned Terry, who accompanied us to our room. To my surprise there were fresh flowers from the garden, chocolate and a welcoming glass of sherry waiting for us!
Later, we joined Terry, Sue and Sharon in the well stocked bar. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and the roaring log fire. They also arranged an evening meal especially for us, set up in the pretty dining room, and then so, to bed. Beautiful crisp white sheets , electric blanket and immense bed. Breakfast was delicious, with an array of cereals, fruit, fish and full English. On our return that evening, Terry arrived at the room with a platter of fresh assorted sandwiches, most welcome! It is without hesitation we recommend The Shamrock, the friendliness, attention and detail were impeccable. Thank you once again, Rob and Mary Scott. More

  Thank you Shamrock team for making this a very special weekend for us. Thank you Sue for going the extra mile, making us a card and the special decorations, after... read more all the challenges with covid, it was great to have a little getaway.

  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

  We arrived and were greeted by Terry, the owner. Taken to our very comfortable room.
Terry was a great host and spent the evening chatting and telling us aboit... read more all the interesting projects he is involved in to uplift the village.

Would definitely stay there again.

Thanks Terry

  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.
