Choose the well-situated Sun City Cabanas Hotel right on the famous Waterworld Lake at this extraordinary South African resort in Northwest Province next to Pilanesberg National Park. The Cabanas Hotel is a more lowkey choice of accommodation at Sun City, ideal for families with small kids, complete with kiddies’ swimming pool next to the vast swimming pool, two terrace restaurants serving wonderful snacks and plenty of grass on which to play and run.
This is a great base for visitors to Cabanas Sun City to explore the entire mecca of the golf course casino estate resort. Try everything there is to try while your kids attend the Kiddies’ Club – the casino, vibrant nightlife, a great movie and book your trip to coincide with a live music show. Sip cool cocktails on the Cabanas Pool Deck before you set off razzling in the greater entertainment sections.
Sun City is a luxury resort and casino, bordering the Pilanesberg National Park, 140 km from Johannesburg and Cabanas Hotel is one of 4 extraordinary hotels comprising hundreds of rooms and suites in total. This wild resort and golf course escape was the brainchild of Sol Kerzner, who imagined something unique for all visitors to South Africa who could enjoy his man-made forests, castles, waterfalls and rivers in one huge estate. The hotels are all large and charismatic but the Cabanas is smaller and simpler and we love that it boasts lake views and immediate access to Waterworld.
Choose a lavish three-star room or suite from the total of 24 standard lake-facing rooms, 120 standard twin rooms, 32 family lake-facing rooms, 201 family standard rooms and 3 wheelchair-accessible rooms. All of this for Sun City Cabana holiday.
The Sun City Cabanas Hotel is five minutes away and here you can gamble at the casino or take the shuttle to the Valley of the Waves. Palm Terrace is a great breakfast spot and Cabanas Pool Deck is ideal for snacks and drinks.

Positioned directly on the shores of Waterworld Lake, the hotel offers a relaxed atmosphere, excellent value and convenient access to the resort’s endless attractions.

Sun City remains one of South Africa’s most famous holiday destinations.
Created by legendary hotelier Sol Kerzner, the resort transformed a remote area of North West Province into a world-class entertainment destination. Today, visitors enjoy a unique combination of hotels, golf courses, casinos, water parks, restaurants and outdoor activities.
The resort borders Pilanesberg National Park, allowing guests to combine wildlife experiences with leisure and entertainment.
Few destinations in South Africa offer such a diverse range of activities within a single location.
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Cabanas Hotel is its location.
Situated directly beside Waterworld Lake, guests enjoy easy access to water-based activities and beautiful views across the water. The lakeside setting creates a more relaxed atmosphere than some of the busier areas within the resort.

Rooms feature air conditioning, Wi-Fi, television, tea and coffee facilities, modern bathrooms and comfortable bedding. Family rooms provide additional space and functionality for parents travelling with children.
The focus is on comfort, convenience and value rather than excessive luxury.
Families are at the heart of the Cabanas experience.
The dedicated children’s pool sits adjacent to the main swimming pool, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for younger guests. Large grassy areas provide space for outdoor games and activities, while nearby attractions keep children entertained throughout the day.
The popular Kiddies’ Club offers supervised activities and entertainment, giving parents the opportunity to relax or explore the wider resort.
For families visiting Sun City, few hotels offer a better balance of affordability, convenience and child-friendly facilities.
A stay at Cabanas places guests within easy reach of everything Sun City has to offer.

The relaxed atmosphere encourages families and friends to gather after busy days enjoying the resort.
Sun City’s wider collection of restaurants and bars also remains easily accessible via resort shuttles and walkways.
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Sun City is its proximity to Pilanesberg National Park.
Located immediately adjacent to the resort, Pilanesberg offers excellent Big Five game viewing opportunities in a malaria-free environment. Many guests combine several days at Sun City with morning or afternoon safari excursions into the reserve.
This combination allows visitors to enjoy wildlife experiences alongside golf, entertainment, water activities and family fun.
For international travellers, it is one of South Africa’s most accessible safari and leisure combinations.
Cabanas Hotel is particularly suited to travellers who want maximum access to Sun City’s attractions without paying premium luxury lodge rates.
Families love the child-friendly facilities and activity options. Couples enjoy the lakeside setting and relaxed atmosphere. Groups and weekend visitors appreciate the hotel’s central location and easy access to entertainment venues.
It is especially well suited to travellers who intend to spend most of their time enjoying the wider resort rather than remaining in their rooms.

Its position beside Waterworld Lake, proximity to the Valley of Waves and family-focused atmosphere make it one of the most practical accommodation options within the resort.
For travellers seeking an affordable and enjoyable Sun City experience, Cabanas remains one of the smartest choices available.
Combine Cabanas Hotel Sun City with a safari in Pilanesberg National Park, Madikwe Game Reserve or a broader South African itinerary including Johannesburg, Cape Town and Victoria Falls.
