What's new at Sun City
In fact serious bucks, R1bn to be exact, has been funnelled into adding to and revamping Sun Citys facilities and image. These upgrades were revealed at a grand celeb-filled event last week. Bizcommunity was lucky enough to get an invite to the Sun Central launch and I got a taste of the exciting new refurbishments and attractions that the #NewSunCity has to offer.
Here my top picks to entice you to pay a visit to the revamped Sun City:
Dine and shop at the new entertainment arena
The Sun Central entertainment and conference hub has been thoroughly revamped. Boasting lush jungle themed decor, this centre now houses a bowling alley, a food court offering popular fare from Spur and Steers, and stores such as Haviannas and Billabong, as well as fancier dining options such as restaurant Splice.
Another addition is the Hall of Fame, an interactive exhibit that honours South Africa's outstanding sportspeople and performing artists. Here you can try your hand at virtual reality games, attempt to race against world record holder Wayde van Niekerk or Springbok Sevens star Seabelo Senatla on an indoor 20-metre track, or work on your handicap on the golf simulator.
Enjoy stylish and affordable accommodation
The Cabannas and the self-catering Sun Vacation Club, one of Sun City's most affordable accommodation options, has been majorly revamped. Now boasting a fresh, modern look, these rooms offer the most slick and contemporary styled accommodation the resort has to offer.
Get your adrenaline fix
Adrenalin Extreme, the new adventure hub, comprises a range of outdoor activities including Drift Trikes, Hovercrafts, the Accelerator and the Grizzly 4x4 Quad Challenge, while the iconic Valley of the Waves water park offers two new rides; Nobles Descent and Ovango.
Waterworld now offers more action-packed sports such as the new Grand Prix-styled racing go-karts at Kazooma Raceway and adventure golf course; Rock Venture Mini Golf.
Party all night long
Soho Hotel; Sun City's always-on party zone now offers new dancing and entertainment areas. The new trendy dance club Encore and bar and comedy club Vibes both offer late night entertainment options to either celebrate or console one's self at after your fortunes have been made or lost at the Sun City Casino, also housed in this area.
