Truly enjoyed every moment of our stay!


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!

Description



Enjoy the warm embrace of The Shamrock Arms – a 4 Star Guest Lodge offering good value, tranquil surroundings and wholesome food.



The lodge is authentically Victorian and comfortably modern and traces its history back to 1894.



Superbly situated on the Mpumalanga Highlands Meander Route – a mere two and a half hours from Johannnesburg – and clasped by the picturesque and historic village of Waterval Boven – gateway to the world-famous Kruger National Park – you are guaranteed a country-village ambience that will soothe your soul.



The Shamrock Arms is unquestionably an ideal stopover for both the business and leisure traveler. It is situated ‘more or less’ half way between Oliver Tambo International Airport (previously known as the Johannesburg International Airport) and the Kruger National Park. This will be of particular interest to travelers arriving at OT International Airport who are keen on the idea of getting some ‘mileage’ behind them on their first day in South Africa - so that the drive to the park the next day is not so daunting.



All of the rooms are elegantly furnished each with its own entrance and en-suite bathroom, DSTV (own decoder), tea/coffee facility and electronic safe. You will have a choice of either a single bed (3/4 size) or a double bed (king or queen size).



Enjoy the convivial banter in the Irish Pub and the mesmerizing crackle of a log fire in the dinning room on a winter’s evening



The wonderful thing about the Shamrock Arms is that it is the perfect base from which to explore many places of interest and scenic beauty in the Mpumalanga Province. All of the provinces principal tourist attractions are within easy reach of the Shamrock Arms

In and around Waterval Boven you can do: trout / bass fishing, rock climbing and abseiling, mountain biking and hiking and horse riding.



The Shamrock Arms also offers added value in the form of full-day guided tours to Mpumalanga Province’s most treasured tourist sites. All in the company of your host, Terry, who is an accredited and registered tourist guide.



A sincere and friendly welcome awaits you from your hosts Terry & Cheryl Jansen.
