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. ##### Carolyn Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reijer 5 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Heel apart verblijf in nette niet al te grote maar kamer die groot genoeg is met comfortabel bed.

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. ##### Martin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher, Boston, MA 27 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A+ Amazing breakfast, nice room.

Shamrock Arms provided what we needed. The staff - notably Jaco :) - and owner were very friendly. Food was good. The place was clean. And we would be happy to stay there next time we're in the neighbourhood. The place had many returning guests, who were friendly and added to the positive wipe at Shamrock Arms. ##### Heino ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ruhiges Guest House Wir haben ein sehr gutes Abendessen bekommen und wurden vom Koch sehr gut unterhalten. Das Frühstück wurde vom Besitzer zu bereitet und auch da gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. Leider hat uns gar nicht gefallen, dass so viel Hundekot auf dem Rasen lag, der bei der Hitze gestunken hat. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### מיקום מעולה בקרבת יוהנסבורג שירות מעולה, אווירה טובה, אירוח נהדר, נחמדים ושירותיים. מומלץ בחום! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### william 7 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### shamrock arms num num trail raun stayed over the night before a race. arrived late and received the friendliest and warmest greeting ever. lovely host and gorgeous little pub and restaurant. really felt welcome and comfortable. very comfy rooms with all essentials. i'll definitely be back for an overnight stay for future adventures out to that part of the world! ##### william ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa, USA 25 Aug 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Shamrocks Arms is a quaint little resort in an idyllic setting!
