Cabanas
Budget-leaning base inside Sun City's restaurant strip
About this stay
Cabanas trades the palace-style grandeur of Sun City's flagship hotels for a simpler, airier build, but keeps the same seven-minute walk to the resort's man-made beach at Sun Terrace and its cluster of 21 restaurants and bars. Two golf courses sit within the same short walk, useful for guests splitting a stay between fairway time and pool time. Rooms are air-conditioned but modest, with the fitness centre and bar covering most on-site needs beyond food. The roughly two-hour taxi transfer toward the airport is standard for this end of the North West province, and the accessible-room designation and kid-friendly billing widen who the property suits. It reads as a value entry point into Sun City rather than a destination hotel in its own right.
- Sun Terrace beach walk
- 21 restaurants and bars
- Two golf courses
- Fitness centre
Our take
This suits travellers who want Sun City's restaurant strip and golf courses within a short walk without paying for the resort's premium hotels, since Cabanas sits inside the same seven-minute radius at a lower rate. Golfers splitting time between two courses get the most value here. Anyone prioritising room finishes or a quiet, low-key stay should look elsewhere, since the appeal is proximity to the busier parts of the resort.
- Walk to Sun Terrace early for the beach area before the day-tripper crowds from nearby towns arrive.
- Book a golf tee time in advance, both courses within walking distance fill up on resort weekends.
- Pick a restaurant off-strip on your first night, the 21 options nearest the hotel queue up fast.
Why we love it
- Seven-minute walk to 21 restaurants and bars
- Two golf courses within the same walk
- Man-made beach at Sun Terrace nearby
- Lower rate than Sun City's flagship hotels
Why guests love itCabanas earns its keep on location rather than luxury: the seven-minute walk to Sun Terrace's man-made beach and the resort's restaurant row makes it easy to eat and swim without a car, and having two golf courses in the same radius suits a stay split between fairways and pool chairs. The rooms themselves are plain by Sun City standards, air-conditioned but not the reason to book. It works best as a value base for exploring the wider resort rather than a stay built around the hotel itself.
