Shamrock Arms Guest Lodge

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.

Stopped in here for a one night stopover enroute to Marloth Park, selected due to high reviews score. A secure spot. Sue and Belinda went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, from catering to a (sort of) vegetarian, to extra blankets for a nippy night. Whilst the building is an historical one I feel the interior could do with a makeover - the main dining/social/pub area is quite cluttered with a strange mix of decor that does not appear to relate to either South Africa, Shamrock Arms as a name, nor the railway history of both the town and the building. Considering how cold it was on the night we stayed I was disappointed that none of the fireplaces were lit to add to the atmosphere. Also disappointed that given South Africa's dire state of electricity supply, the rooms had electric blankets and aircon/heating units. Personally I think some updated bedding (think scrumptious duvets and hot water bottles) would have been a better investment. Plus the towels we had, although they looked great, turned out to have holes in them.

Terry, Sue and Belinda are fantastic hosts. We’ve had a great time at their lodge, diner and breakfast were wonderful and we’ve slept very good. Really hope to see you once again.

Thank you Sue and Nellie for going all out in making our weekend a pleasant stay. Dinner was amazing.

Delightful stay. Great hospitality, made to feel really welcome. Food wonderful and accommodation perfect.

Great place for an overnight stop going to or from Kruger. Rooms were great; nice to stay in a place which had retained it's character but offered up to date facilities. Both Jaco and Terry were very warm hosts, made us feel very welcome. Jaco is very entertaining and a good chef.

Excellent accueil. Excellent repas. Excellents conseils pour des visites et des itinéraires.

Everything from the food, service and hospitality was far above the norm. Exceptional place to stay!!! Recommend it to any new of seasoned traveler.

Since my first stay the establishment seems to have deteriorated somewhat, it is tired and needs uplifting

Lovely lodge convenient located between Kruger and the airport in Johannesburg. Very nice atmosphere and excellent food made by an excellent chef. Thanks to the owner Terry for great evening at the pub. The rooms are great as well...

I simply picked this spot for its convenient location between Johannesburg and Kruger Park, and was surprised to find this pleasant place, with excellent host, friendly staff, comfortable room, and delightful culinary fare. Definitely recommend!

El personal del hotel muy amable, nos dieron consejos prácticos. Desayuno muy bueno. El hotel limpio y amplia habitación.

Our weekend stay at Shamrock Arms Guest Lodge were excellent. Great welcome, good service, excellent food, and warm hospitality. Very good option for stay when you are in the area.

Made for a convenient stop over on my way to Kruger. Great hospitality from the moment I arrived, I was made to feel very welcome and included which is always nice as a single traveller. Dinner was lovely and they really took care to cater for my specific dietary requirements (lactose and gluten intolerance)

Had a lovely stay here with great hosts Terry & Jaco who made us feel very welcome. Only stayed for 1 night but very memorable evening spent with Terry & Jacu on the veranda drinking wine & resolving the worlds problems.

Chillaxing weekend, around the Num Num Trail Run 32km, near Machadadorp. Very rugged countryside, with hiking and walking trails in abundance and mountain biking trails too (although we didn't try any of these). Tough conditions requiring superior fitness. The town itself is a bit run down but this establishment was amazing. Exploding with personality and charm. Jaco is a legend. Arrive hungry - the dinner and breakfast portions are huge and too tasty not to clean your plate!

Sehr nettes Hotel mit einem absolut einmaligen Personal. Jederzeit wieder!

Great welcome and very helpful hosts - couldn't do enough for you. Rooms are behind old pub and are very comfortable and clean. Food is enthusiastically and individually prepared - again great service. Relaxing in the bar before and afterwards was a pleasure. Recommended stopover.

Amazing breakfast, nice room. Some street noise but not too bad

Room was very comfortable. Had all we needed. Even had cookies for our coffee in the room.Wide comfortable kingsize bed. Owners and manager were very friendly and always at hand to help out with anything. Gave us tips on the travel i and around where we wanted to go.
