Sun City - The Cascades

Tumbling streams & lush tropical forests

The Cascades at Sun City, as its name suggests, is based on a theme of cascading water, both in the stunning interior decor and throughout the beautiful landscaped gardens. This impressive hotel offers a range of eateries to complement the water theme; such as the delightful 'Grotto' restaurant where you can dine surrounded by sparkling waterfalls and lush tropical vegetation. Alternatively, you can enjoy a sumptuous meal in the elegant 'Peninsula' restaurant, surrounded by tropical lagoons which provide the perfect habitat for flamingos and swans. The resort offers easy access to Sun City's entertainment centre, which has cinemas, restaurants, cafes and shops. Also close at hand is the amazing Valley of the Waves, one of the most exciting water theme parks in the world.

Disappointed

Richards Bay, South Africa

Currently staying at the cascades hotel in Sun City. I convinced my partner to spend Valentines weekend here because it was so enjoyable the past few times I visited. It was a huge mistake. Things change so much in a year. We paid for 5 star service and got 2 star in return. We changed rooms the minute we checked in because of the bad sewer odor coming from the bathrooms. Staff are not friendly and neither are they accommodating. It was not at all value for money. Very disappointing. We will not be returning

A classic case of "attractions nearby, so we just don't care"

New York City, New York

Perhaps, this hotel was good for its time, but it definitely has lost its luster. The only attractive factor for it now is, well, the attractions nearby: the water park, Pilanesberg National Park, Sun City entertainment. The hotel has seen better times, and it shows. I mean - it's not all too bad, but you can clearly spot wrinkles of time on everything. Furniture has some wear and scuffs, shower and sinks drain slowly, walls in the hallways don't look "fresh" any longer, elevators creak, etc., etc. Service is also disappointing - primarily because it's SLOW. Everywhere. On the positive side, the sleep quality is good, and the territory looks nice, with wildlife visitors ranging from peacocks to baboons (make sure you LOCK your balcony doors: a huge baboon was passing by our room and stopped to try and slide our door open - I'm not kidding). Also, as I said, the proximity of main attractions in the area is definitely a plus. The hotel has a nice color-lit garden that looks beautiful at night. Also, you get a free pass to the waterpark. The restaurants on premises are okay. You can also book restaurants located at other hotels in the area - but you'll have to do it via concierge in the morning of the planned date. There's no gym at the hotel, but there's a spa/health club a minute walk away - you can get a pass for about $12 for 3 days, which is ok, but the gym itself is pretty small. Also, there's a break-away room, a rope walking course, a maze, a cinema and other forms of entertainment nearby.
