If you’re looking for a bit more chill and comfort than the main resort hub, the 4-star Cascades Hotel is exactly the right play. It’s tucked away among tropical gardens and tumbling waterfalls, giving it a private, “hideaway” feel, yet it sits right next to the main entertainment center and casino. Every room comes with a private balcony, so you can grab a coffee and soak in the views over the resort before heading out for your morning round. Sun City is famous for being a “city in the sun,” and staying at The Cascades puts you at the heart of the action without the noise. When you aren’t out on the fairways or testing your luck in the casino, you’ve got your own private pool area, a top-tier health club, and a range of restaurants specializing in everything from local South African flavors to world-class fine dining. It’s the ultimate base for a “Bucket List” trip that mixes championship golf with a proper safari experience.
