"Kruger to Drakensberg stopover at Shamrock Arms"

10.0

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.

"Warm South African hospitality "

8.0

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)

"shamrock arms is the best"

10.0

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!

"Good stopover on way to Kruger"

8.0

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.
