The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort

On the shores of a lake at a sprawling resort complex bordering Pilanesberg National Park. Steps from a water park and steam-train rides, and minutes from a major casino, cultural village, championship golf course and a famous wave pool. Roughly a two-hour drive from Johannesburg.

A contemporary, colorful vibe with about 380 air‑conditioned rooms split between family and standard bungalows. Expect lake-view family rooms, flat-screen TVs, minibars, coffee/tea makers, in-room safes and daily housekeeping. Evenings heat up at the pool deck with chic cocktails and island-style energy—still very family-friendly with a kids' club and playground.

Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials; outdoor pools and a seasonal waterpark; casino access and a complimentary shuttle for players; championship golf course nearby. On-site fitness center, tennis, mini-golf, gymnasium and plenty of parking. Wake up to lake-view mornings and easy access to safari excursions into the surrounding national park.

Business center with conference and meeting rooms, express check-out and event facilities. Practical extras include dry cleaning/laundry, concierge services, free self-parking and complimentary wireless internet throughout the property.

Multiple on-site options—choose from a terrace restaurant plus a lineup of up to 10 restaurants and a coffee shop/café. Five bars and a poolside bar serve cocktails and light bites, with family-friendly dining areas, highchairs and non-smoking sections.
