The Cabanas Hotel

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 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.

The Sun City 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.
