"What a lovely place to stay! I would recommend it to any one. The hospitality was fantastic and breakfast a real treat. Thank you Shamrock Arms, we will certainly visit again!"

"Jaco your food and hospitality was the best! Thanks for going that extra mile. Will always come back."

"We were thoroughly spoilt and the accommodation was perfect. Jaco is a perfect host. The area is lovely to explore and steeped in history. "

"This is an oasis in a derelict town. We nearly just drove on! Fortunately we decided to check it out first. We were greated by Jaco who is the jewel in the crown.

"Dit was 'n heerlike kuier en ons het die mense en die gasvryheid geniet. Dankie vir die heerlike steak en ontbyt. Sal julle weer besoek. Gerieflike kamers. Dankie Nelis en Rose"

"We had a very enjoyable stay at Shamrock from 17 to 20 April 2016.

The meals were of the highest standard and the relaxed atmosphere most enjoyable.

I would recommend staying over at Shamrock for anyone going to Waterfal Boven.
"

"Enchanting lodge with very hospitable staff. The area has an interesting history. Would unreservedly recommend the Shamrock Arms

for your accommodation."

"Spent a wonderful weekend here with fantastic food, wine and good company. Very comfortable rooms and friendly people. Thanks so much for a great stay - will definitely be back!"

"It was great. I will recommend any person to stay there. There is everything that you need. The food was stunning thank you Jaco. The place was very very clean we will definitely stay there again."

"We spent our last night of our honeymoon at the Shamrock Arms Guest Lodge. What a wonderful choice. Amazing hosts. Lovely rooms and Waterval Bowen is worth a visit. I look forward to going back there sometime. Many thanks for going out of your way to make our stay special."

"It was our coldest day of all our stay in South Africa. But we got a very warm welcome, the rooms and even our beds were heated and we felt very welcome.

When we had an emergency, there was no question, that we were driven to the next hospital (min. one hour drive) and our host stayed with us..."

When we had an emergency, there was no question, that we were driven to the next hospital (min. one hour drive) and our host stayed with us, until everything was set.

Never in our life, we knew someone who felt so responsible for the wellbeeing of his guests. Thank you!"

"Wat 'n pragtige plek om te bly. Alles was so netjies en die personeel was baie vriendekik en gaaf. Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan bly.

What a beautiful place to stay for a holiday. Everything was so neat and the staff were friendly and kind. We will definitely visit again."

"Staying at the Shamrock Arms was more a visit with friends than it was a B&B - we had a lovely time and felt right at home. Thanks to Terry and Cheryl. We had a lovely Saturday evening, not to mention the delicious meals."

"We truly had a wonderful stay at your 'home from home' logde. The atmosphere is relaxed, the people are friendly and caring and the food was delicious. You guys are great. Keep it up and hope to see you all soon! "

"My fiancŽ and I really enjoyed staying here. Terry's hospitality was great and we had a lot of fun."

"Our stay at Shamrock was perfect. The room, food and hosts were excellent in every way. Will plan a revisit."

"After two long flights from the USA to Paris and Paris to Johannesburg, we needed a friendly face, a clean room and a nice warm meal. All of these were first class at Shamrock Arms."

"Terry & Cheryl are perfect host's. We made a stop over at Shamrock Arms going out to Hazyview and because they were so friendly and the area was nice we made a stop over on the way back. Try the trout for dinner. Fantastic."

"We had the best time at Shamrock Arms in Waterval Boven. Terry and Cheryl are the best hosts and Jaco, the manager, made us feel right at home. The breakfasts are so special and really more than enough. The supper was superb! Terry has a nice selection of wine on offer.

We felt welcome and truly enjoyed every moment of our stay!"

" Breakfast was stunning!!"

"Very pleasant accommodation. Excellent breakfast. Worth going just to enjoy the fresh trout."

"It can not get better. What a nice friendly place to relax and refresh for your trip the following day. The breakfast :- AMAZING !!"

"We enjoyed it tremendously."

"Everything was fine. The accommodation was just what we wanted for an overnight stay. The Dinner and breakfast was great."

"We enjoyed every minute at Shamrock Arms! We ordered an evening meal on arrival Friday evening, and we were most satisfied with it. Our hosts were most welcoming! We enjoyed the small pub as well as having a drink there. Will surely recommend it! "

"We chose to stay here to 'recover' from our flight, before we headed out on our journey through South Africa. We could not have picked a better place. Comfortable, relaxing, we were taken good care of by the hosts and their staff. A magnificent start of our holidays!"

"Everything was just perfect. We highly recommend this place. The owners will do everything to make you feel at home and welcome."

"Warm and friendly, a great place for a getaway."

"We recently spent the night at Shamrock Arms and found it pleasant, comfortable & well kept. The food was great and the owners were really helpful, efficient and friendly. We would gladly stay there again."

"From our welcome with a warming sherry and host (it was COLD ), to a fire, electric blankets, lovely food and caring hosts, we enjoyed it all! We will definitely stay again, if ever in that part of the world! "

"We stayed at Shamrock Arms en route from Sabie to Piet Retief. On our arrival, a group of avid soccer fans were watching a game in the pub of the Shamrock. We immediately got the feeling that this was a very popular place. The staff and owners greeted us warmly and were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Rooms were modern, tastefully decorated, and meticulously clean. Food was excellent. There were 3 churches within 2 blocks down the same street and on Sunday morning the sound of bells and singing filled the air."

"On arrival Terry and Cheryl made us feel at home, that included great home cooked meals. They were very helpful on places to visit and things to do in and around Waterval Boven.

"We arrived at the Shamrock Arms rather late in the day and quite tired after travelling down from Lusaka. To our dismay our booking had been incorrectly booked for the following month! Whether through our own fault or not, we don't know and it is not important now. What was important was the attitude of our hosts Terry and Cheryl, they were wonderful about the whole thing. Fortunately, although they were fully booked for both the previous and for the following night, they happened to have a free room for that particular night. The room was excellent in every way and we had a very comfortable stay. Cheryl was kindness itself and despite the late hour cooked us a lovely meal. We would have absolutely no hesitation in staying there again or indeed in recommending it to anyone else. Terry told us that they had they not had an available room for us that night they would have found us alternative lodgings, which we thought was extremely helpful. We wish them every success, we convey our heartfelt thanks."

"When looking for a halfway place to stay driving from Jo'burg to Kruger we decided upon Waterval Boven and the Shamrock Arms. On our arrival we were met by the owner Terry and shown to our room. The room was much bigger than expected and in a block separate and behind the main Shamrock Arms. It was clean, well presented and had Sat TV and a room safe. However the best thing about this place is the people, Terry made us feel very welcome and we sat and watched the Rugby World Cup 1/4 final with him and some of the regulars. Later on we treated to some very good home cooked food and a few glasses of wine in the bar. Breakfast was a very tasty and more than we had expected. All in all a great value for money hideaway that we'll recommend to our friends in or visiting South Africa, ideal for a halfway stop off but more importantly for a relaxing break."

"We had a few problems with my friends, so by the time we left Jo'burg, it was already after 19h00. I only realised later that we had even forgotten the contact details, to let people at Shamrock know that we were running late. Imagine my surprise when they called to find out how and where we were.

"We had a few problems with my friends, so by the time we left Jo'burg, it was already after 19h00. I only realised later that we had even forgotten the contact details, to let people at Shamrock know that we were running late. Imagine my surprise when they called to find out how and where we were. We were really impressed, and from then on they had made an excellent impression on us. By the time we got there, needless to say, it was after 22h00, but Terry still offered us something to drink. The rooms were excellent, warm, huge, comfortable and breakfast was just perfect. Due to a few unforeseen problems, we had to sleep only for one night instead of the planned, 2. At the end what we paid was a lot less than we expected. They made sure that we came out feeling happy, and definitely indebted to them.
They are super people, in that they actually put themselves in our shoes and understood where were coming from. We WILL definitely go there again, and hopefully very soon.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience, and for making sure that even when we could not stay the proposed time, you still made us feel special. We loved it!
