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.

So what can I say about the Cabanas and Sun City resort. My wife wanted to do a safari for he ?? Big Birthday but she is not the camping type so a friend recommended Sun City. The Palace was out of our price range but the Cabanas was perfect, we had a lakeside room and the noise from the wildlife was amazing Accommodation: spotless and cleaned daily and little touches like tea coffee and drinking water was unexpected as we were B+B only . Breakfast: till 11am each day and that suited us. Plenty of choice and again spotlessly clean + we had entertainment from the monkeys 🐒 playing hide and seek with the rangers Pool: hood size an set in a large garden with lots of loungers and free to use pool towels. @CABANAS maybe heat the pool in the winter please Staff: all very helpful respectful and polite Now some recommendations rather than complaints, heat the pool in winter Some evening entertainment guide to the resort would ideal. Not knowing what's on isn't ideal Would I visit again. Absolutely 5/5 Read less

The room is clean, but the facilities in the room are very average. The a/c didn’t work properly. The toilet didn’t flush, had to contact reception to get some to help. The doors to the bathroom were missing. The volume on the TV wouldn’t turn down. The towels are dull and very worn. Had laundry done, not return they said it would be.… Read more

Shuttle buses, they say are 24 hours, but could not get one at 6am to get to the bus stop for the game viewing. Saying all of this, the Staff are fantastic! Would I come back to the Cabana’s probably not.. there are better places to visit. Read less

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at the Cabanas. We stayed four nights, but only paid for three due to a midweek-break-special, applicable to South African citizens. It was great value for money. Whenever I visit Sun City, I always spend the majority of time at The Valley of the Waves, which is better than swimming in the real ocean, in my humble opinion. In which hotel I stay, is not such a big deal, because I just sleep in my room and eat breakfast at the hotel. The Cabanas, however, always exceed my expectations. All the staff at the Cabanas were very friendly and helpful, but one specific person deserves a special compliment. We have spent every day at Sun City's Valley of the Waves, except Thursday, 1 May 2025, because it was a public holiday. We knew that The Valley of The Waves would be extremely busy. Thus, we spent the entire day at the pool of the Cabanas. I thought it would be a boring day, but the DJ, whose name I unfortunately do not know, provided great entertainment with her selection of music. It was a lady and she catered for young and old. Management's trouble to keep all guests happy and entertained, is greatly appreciated. Read less
