The hotel

The Cabanas hotel is ideal for the whole family, offering relaxed, informal, comfortable accommodation in a lush lakeside setting. The hotel is so-called because the rooms are arranged in cabana-style blocks. Waterworld is Sun City's lake area where you can partake in various water sports, including water-skiing and for the less adventurous, a gentle cruise is always pleasant. There are many different activities for the children such as the Animal World, Kamp Kwena children's club and an adventure playground. Adults can soak up the sun poolside and enjoy chic cocktails at the Cabanas Pool Deck.

Definitely value for money! The buses every 15mins were perfect and punctual. There are lots of activities for non-gamblers, we enjoyed the Valley of the waves and the Arcade. It was a perfect summer long weekend away close to Johannesburg.

The most exceptional customer service, passion and efficiency from Odireli, Front Office Manager at the Cabanas. We've not been to Sun City for over 20 years and Odireli really made our trip unforgettable and memorable. His amazing can-do attitude & service has made our holiday even more exceptional. What a gem he is to Sun City.

Oct 26, 2024 Cindy D Pretoria, South Africa

Good hotel and good rooms. Very nice resort set up. However the failed to manage noise levels and open drug use by guest. Many phone calls and complaints could not solve this undesirable situation. The cabanas lost its flair. Definitely don’t expose yourself, family and children to such undesirable situation. Come on Sun City… Do better

The most shocking experience. We went to the Cabanas for a nice summer break and to spend lots of time in the sun and next to the pool. The pool was green like a duck pond. No apologies from the management and no alternative offered. We are 67 years of age snd do not enjoy the Valley of the waves. We want to lounge next to the pool and relax.… Read more
