We started our long holiday for SA at the Sun City. We chose to stay at the Cascades and it was indeed the perfect choice.
Very close to all amenities.......the mall, valley of waves....... and etc
Had the best breakfast.
Whilst it was raining we never got bored or stuck as everything was so close and near by and we enjoyed ourseleves thoroughly

While The Palace remains the resorts best hotel, the cascades is excellent, with a few niggles here and there. Firstly, it has a regular and heated pool with water slide. Secondly, it has a truely spectacular setting with a suspension bridge as the highlight. There are a few room types. Standard, which is an average to small room. Family, which is a little bigger with pull-out sofa. then the deluxe rooms, corner rooms and suites and garden rooms and suites. I've stayed in many of these, and probably the best value are the family rooms that have their own patio as well as seperate shower. Service is ok for a casino resort and GM's are rarely seen. Breakfast is excellent. And the Greek restaurant at the pool, transforms itself at night into an unexpectedly good choice. If you're visiting from overseas, all prices will be a bargan. The superbowl [international pop stars mostly] is steps away. The main hotel hosts the casino which has seen far better days, and slot machines are typically everywhere. the game reserve is good and there's a lake if you're into water skiing, etc.

We stayed at the Cascades during the busy first days of the new year, with 2 kids in a family room. The hotel is very efficient, breakfast is one of the most comprehensive we ever had and the location is great. One can walk to the valley of the waves and a complimentary shuttle takes you to all the other attractions (great kids activities at the lake). The only complaint I have is that the aircon did not work in the room, and room service is expensive and not of great quality. Eeverything else was perfect.

Excellent hotel, and service, but expensive by world standards
