Shamrock Arms Guest Lodge, hotel in Waterval Boven

Located in the historic village of Waterval Boven, this Victorian-style lodge is located a 2.3 hours' drive from Johannesburg. It offers free guided tours to guests staying longer than 1 night.

This was our stopover between Graskop and Johannesburg and we did not really explored the area only stayed overnight. The room was a little bit outdated but overall this place has its own charm so it really did not bother us at all. The service provided by Sue and Belinda was really exceptional and the dinner was really wonderful, we felt spoiled!

    The place is breathtaking and Frank was very helpful and a great host. The swimming pool wasn't as clean even though cleaning measures were taken. The bathrooms weren't as clean, the tv🤦‍♂️and using old towels was BAD

    Only went there to stay at Acra-Retreat but the drive down the northern road of the N4 through Shoemanskloof was enchanting as we drove from Hazyview towards Johannesburg. Though the southern road of the n4 may be faster the Shoemanskloof Pass is a must see and easy drive.

    We went to the Falls.

    We went to the Falls. It was a bit difficult to get to due to having to brave a completely dark tunnel that goes for about 200m in total darkness. There is no form of security. The falls is really beautiful but the complications of getting there make it a bit hazardous. There were no dodgy people hanging around though and there were a few other people who arrived same time as we did and we went as a group.

    Sue & Belinda are warm-hearted hosts, we had an absolut friendly Welcome and stay with them. They offered delicious food and our room war well equipped, for example with electric blankets in the bed, Coffee and tea accessories and a well filled minibar. Their friend and local guide Terry showed us amazing views in the beautiful surrounding of Waterval Boven on a short walk of about 90 minutes, such as impressive rock formations on the edge of a steep gorge, a waterfall and spectacular views over and over again.

    It is simply stunning, currently having breakfast overlooking the cliffs and the valley. Brilliant little bar and amazing host. Food was great after a drive from the airport. Our family suite was just perfect for a family with two teenage daughters. this is a brilliant spot en route to the Kruger. We could not have been made to feel more welcome and would highly recommend Acra to anyone who is looking for a warm welcome, great views and something different from big corporate hotels.

    Very clean and comfortable accommodations with amazing food and great location close to climbing and hiking. The only downside was a lack of screens on the windows but the fans helped keep any mozzies at bay. Host family was incredibly nice and had so much excellent local info to share.
