The hosts - Sue, Terry and Martin made a point of meeting and greeting our group. We were shown to our pleasant rooms and then served a delicious supper after... read more a social time in the pub. Breakfast also exceeded our expectations!

  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 at Shamrock Arms on 10 July 2019 as a stop-over en route to Timbavati. Thank you Terry for such sublime hospitality. The accommodation is spacious, clean and... read more comfortable. The dinner was superb...very yummy (thanks Sue and Jonell) and after dinner drinks around the fire in the pub were awesome. If you are travelling between OR Tambo and Kruger National Park....its the perfect halfway stop. You will NOT be disappointed. We will definitely be back.

  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.

  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 were looking for accommodation in Nelspruit and everything was fully booked. So we decided to look at Waterval Boven and found Shamrock Arms Guest Lodge.

We enjoyed... read more every moment:

  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 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

  We only stayed for one night but it was the best experience with the most pleasant hosts. Would highly recommend this place if you like a comfy and warm atmosphere.... read more Superb fresh trout dinner and a great breakfast to start your day!
