We stayed at the Shamrock Arms on the way to Kruger. You couldn't be made to feel more welcome on arrival and the rooms are extremely comfortable. They were extremely helpful prior to arriving as the communication on booking was prompt. The food was amazing. I'm vegetarian and they cooked me a lentil cottage pie, which was great, we even...

This is a historic building built in the late 1800s at the heyday of rail travel; it retains its Victorian charm. The meals are custom catered and even... More
