Heel apart verblijf in nette niet al te grote maar kamer die groot genoeg is met comfortabel bed. De opvang en begeleiding is fantastisch. Er wordt een geweldig diner verzorgd en lekker ontbijt. Jammer dat af en toe aangekondigd de stroom uitvalt, maar daar kunnen de hoetelhouders ook niets aan doen.

Sue is so friendly and welcoming. We had a pleasant drink on the verandah followed by a delicious dinner. A good sleep in the comfortable room. We arrived early but Sue made us tea and relaxed until our room was ready. It’s a perfect stopover en route to the Kruger and just a few minutes off the highway.

We spent one night at the Shamrock Arms as a stopover on our way to Kruger National Park. We were greeted warmly by the hosts Terry and Belinda. We love historic buildings so we appreciated the pretty stone inn and beautiful gardens. We had made a dinner and breakfast reservation. Both were delicious and plentiful. Our room was comfortable and we slept well after a LONG flight from the USA. The hosts shared maps and information with us which were very helpful for the rest of our trip. We would definitely recommend the Shamrock to other travelers.

Such a charming little guest lodge! It was a most welcome and pleasant experience for us. We decided to break the drive from JNB to KNP and chose the Shamrock. Sue and Belinda gave us a warm welcome and even though the power had failed, we were served a delicious dinner and the beer was cold too! After a long flight, the bed was nothing less than heaven. Terry was a wonderful host answering our many questions about his beautiful country. We definitely will plan to stop here gain on our way back to Jo’berg. Thanks to all of you for the ‘soft landing'.

What a great discovery! Shamrock Arms is a little gem in the rough. Sue, Belinda and their team welcomed us and made us feel at home during our 2 day stay. The rooms are big and spacious.The bed and pillows were comfortable and the shower was a welcome relief after we ran our marathon. The catering was absolutely outstanding and attention was given to our dietary requests. A hearty breakfast just hit the spot the day of our departure. Shamrock Arms is definitely value for money and the bar prices are very reasonable. The front garden of the property is well kept and immediately gives you peace and calm after the trip from Johannesburg. Thanks Sue and your staff for your hospitality we can’t wait to see you next year again.

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 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.
