Striking, beautifully coloured birds and fish are at home in the Cascades gardens and lakes which cover the gently sloping hillside.
They are laced with footpaths which wind 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.
Cascades Hotel, Sun City
. A cool breeze, a sultry summers 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 R60-million refurbishment project, transforming the 1980s themed pool area into a tropical paradise.
The Mediterranean is the deep, blue heart that gives life to the countries that surround it. With this in mind, Sun City has transformed the Cascades Pool and Grotto Restaurant into an area 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 metres and the lawn areas have been converted into a sandy beach complete with a secluded bathing area and sand bar evocative of Tom Cruises Cocktail movie. Guests can enjoy the ambience complete with bikinis and flamboyant barmen. There is a heated pool, a Jacuzzi pool and childrens pool.
The Grotto restaurant has been revolutionised. The Mediterranean restaurant now named Santorini, is surrounded by glass windows providing an all season enclave, harbouring guests during winter.
Alfresco dining takes place along the island promenade and delightful gazebos offer shaded areas where guests can relax informally and enjoy a delectable meal.
