The self-catering Acacia Place is family friendly and comfortable, set slightly further away from the casino to ensure maximum privacy but close enough to still be convenient. The Carousel Hotel is located nearer to the casino and provides a choice of accommodation features for visitors in 57 different rooms. All the rooms are luxurious and beautifully decorated. Room rates differ depending on size, season and features, and bookings can be made online.

Guests can enjoy a private courtyard, a stunning Victorian style swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, a gym and a communal braai area. The casino complex is also conveniently located near top game parks such as the Dinokeng Game Reserve only 5km away, where the Big Five can be viewed in their natural habitat.
