The Cascades Hotel - Accommodation in Sun City, North West Province, South Africa

The Cascades is encircled by a necklace of tropical gardens threaded with tumbling waterfalls, weirs, lagoons and shaded walks - giving The Cascades it’s name and positioning it as one of the most sought after sophisticated and elegant hotels at Africa’s Kingdom of Pleasure: Sun City. Striking, beautifully coloured birds and fish are at home in The Cascades gardens and lakes that cover the gently sloping hillside. They are laced with footpaths that wind between tens of thousands of exotic and indigenous trees and flowering plants. Unwind as you meander through the aviary or sip a long, cool refresher while you relax next to the sparkling pool, to the accompaniment of tropical birdsong.

Bed and breakfast

243 rooms

The Cascades has 243 rooms where the warm rich tones of nature will welcome you. The rooms are decorated with style and a gentle touch. Understated luxury is the order of the day, and each room at The Cascades faces onto the lush, verdant tropical gardens and pools. The majority of luxury rooms have jet-baths and the presidential suites have a jacuzzi.

Sun City Resort is set in the stark ruggedness of the North West Region of South Africa, and is surrounded by mountains and the untamed majesty of the African bushveld. It is a wedge-shot away from the Pilanesberg National Park, where elephants, rhinos, lions and antelope roam freely. The Valley of Waves is open daily from 09:00 to 18:00 in summer and 10:00 until 17:00 in winter and offers an astounding variety of adventures waiting to be discovered and enjoyed here. Walk across the impressive Bridge of Time that links the Lost City Entertainment Centre with the Valley of Waves. Guarded by mighty elephants that protect the incalculable riches that lie hidden in the Hall of Treasures, an ingenious mock volcano regularly erupts, causing smoke and lava to bellow forth from deep within the Temple of Creation. Pass the Monkey Spring Plaza - commemorating the troop of monkeys that saved the ancient tribe from starvation during a terrible drought - and enter the Valley of Waves through the massive Kong Gates. Stretched out before you is the Roaring Lagoon, where 1,8 meter high waves roll constantly towards the white soft sand beach. If golf courses were ranked solely on how spectacular and memorable they are, Lost City would come out on top more often than not. And no hole more so than the par-three 13th with its green shaped like the African continent, surrounded by pot bunkers and an enclosure to front left that is home to over forty crocodiles and hundreds of miss-hit golf balls. The view of the hole from the elevated tee is unforgettable and one can understand why Gary Player sincerely believes he has created one of the top courses in the world at the Lost City, with its desert-style front nine and African bushveld closing nine. Rocky outcrops and large waste bunkers, planted with a variety of cacti, are a feature of the desert- style front nine. The fairway landing areas are generous made more so by the recent conversion off all playing areas, tee to green, to kikuyu grass. The greens are large and generally flat in contrast to those across the hill at the Gary Player County Club.
