Sun City – a beach haven where no beach should be

Posted on 11 February 2008

In spite of the unbelievable traffic and a road that never seems to end, I have been pleasantly surprised with my weekend away at Sun City.

It has to be without doubt a tiny gem in SA’s vast offerings to locals and tourists alike. It has various hotels (The Sun City Hotel, The Palace, Cabana’s and Cascades) which all carry a swimming pool, incredible accessories and more.

There are 5 star restaurants, casino’s game drives nearby, an aviary, walks through a forest and amazing architecture to be seen.

The most amazing thing and thing that astounded me the most was the amount of people at Sun City this weekend. I honestly did not know that Sun City was still such a buzzing venue, apparently I was wrong. Tourists were abound, locals were enjoying the braais at the vacation club alongside the tourists and monkeys were bouncing from flat to flat trying to make ends meat.

The beach is really not my cup of tea considering that stepping of the actual beach involves stepping to to water and off of the sand completely. This is a very unnatural feeling but one that is fairly irrelevant when you consider that you are at a beach in the middle of nowhere next to nothing!

If you haven’t visited Sun City in a while I would suggest that you make your way in that direction. With the Pilansberg right there you can be sure to have lots to do.

Do not be decieved however, the road is long and to be honest not particularly fun to drive. It took me about 3 hours (what should have been an hour and 45 minute drive) to get there on a Friday afternoon after work.
