The Lagoon precinct, exclusive to residents and hotel guests, includes a 300-meter lagoon with water slides, the Mediterranean-themed Family Table restaurant, and padel courts, creating a relaxing yet active environment. Visitors can engage in water sports, from kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding to leisurely pedal boating.
Steyn City’s unique 2,000-acre parkland backdrop makes the hotel particularly appealing for family travel, with numerous play areas for children to explore. For those who prefer a dining experience beyond their suite, the estate boasts various eateries, from the lively Café del Sol and family-friendly Farmhouse to bistro-style 19 by Michael at the Clubhouse, Seattle Coffee Co., and decadent treats from Paul’s Homemade Ice Cream.

Just 15 minutes from Lanseria International Airport and under an hour from OR Tambo International Airport, it offers convenient access to key Gauteng hubs. The estate’s Ultimate Helistop allows guests to charter flights on demand, making quick transport an added benefit. Meeting and event spaces are also available, with an 80-seater conference room and Guild’s shared workspace, which provides a productive environment for guests with work obligations.
