Overview of The Cabanas
The resort borders Pilanesberg National Park, so guided game drives and self-drive safaris are close at hand.
Location & Setting
Cabanas has a lakeside position at Sun City, around two hours’ drive from Johannesburg on the N4 and R556. Lawns lead down to Waterworld’s beach and activity hub, and the Valley of Waves and Sun Central are a short ride away. Children have their own spaces and pools, golfers have the Gary Player Country Club and Lost City courses, and the whole resort is compact enough to walk around.
Rooms
Rooms are practical and shower-only, designed for guests who spend the day outdoors. Standard Twin Rooms come with or without a lake view, and an Accessible Room has twin beds and a large shower with handrails. There are three types of Family Room, each for two adults and two children under 17. The Standard Family Room is the basic version, the Ground Lake Facing Family Room adds a sleeper couch, and the Upstairs Lake Facing Family Room has a balcony over the lake.
Facilities
Light snacks and sunset cocktails come from the Cabanas Pool Deck, and the rest of the resort’s restaurants are a short walk away. On Waterworld Lake, guests can book water skiing, parasailing and sunset cruises. Kamp Kwena keeps children busy with the Stimela Train, a playground and the Chimp & Zee Adventure Park. Golf courses and the Valley of Waves are close by, and Pilanesberg National Park borders Sun City for morning and afternoon game drives.
