Laced with footpaths winding between tens of thousands of exotic and indigenous trees and flowering plants, lush gardens, tropical birds and water features give The Cascades its unique and relaxing atmosphere. A sophisticated, elegant hotel.
The Cascades Hotel, Sun City... a cool breeze, a sultry summer's day, an exotic cocktail at the sand bar and a hint of Turkish music, set the scene for a perfect holiday retreat.
The Cascades Hotel, the Grotto Restaurant and the pool area underwent an extensive R 60-million refurbishment project transforming the 1980's themed pool area into a tropical paradise, reminiscent of the azure blue of the tranquil Mediterranean.
The original garden area has been transformed into a lake with cascading waterfalls. The pool deck has been extended by about 7 meters and the lawn areas have been converted into a sandy beach complete with secluded bathing area and sand bar evocative of Tom Cruise's "Cocktail" movie. There is a heated pool, a Jacuzzi pool and children's pool.
The restaurant now named Santorini, is surrounded by glass windows providing an all season enclave, harbouring guests during winter. Al fresco dining takes place along the island promenade and delightful gazebo's offer shaded areas where guests can relax informally and enjoy a delectable meal.
Rooms:
All 243 elegant air-conditioned rooms and suites enjoy spectacular views over the gardens to the golf course and bushveld hills beyond.
In the luxury twin and luxury family rooms, the entire bathroom was reconstructed and enlarged. Amenities now include a separate large shower cubicle which provides an intimate and private experience and a separate bath that is the ideal place to unwind. The bathrooms have double vanity units and are somewhat larger than standard hotel bathrooms.
The luxury rooms at the Cascades Hotel were also given the ultra-superior treatment. Each room has its own dressing room with built-in dressing table, cupboards and shoe racks. The furnishings have also been upgraded and are the tapestry of the verdant gardens and tranquil beach pool area.

One of the most advanced water parks in the world, dominated by the Roaring Lagoon, a 6 500 square meter wave pool with palm-fringed beach. Hydraulic mechanisms can generate a 1,8 meter wave every 90 seconds. The water park has five exhilarating flume rides (Temple of Courage, The Tarantula, The Scorpion, The Viper, the Mamba). A gentle tube ride around a kidney-shaped island on the Lazy River is available.
