GOLD Reef City has once again raked in the accolades for 2017 as an entertainment destination of choice in the South.
The entertainment complex took first place in the Best Local Tourist Attraction category in The Star’s annual Readers’ Choice supplement, and first place for the Top 25 Hotels for Families – Africa and South Africa – in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.
Located just 8km from Joburg’s city centre, Gold Reef City is a significant contributor to Johannesburg’s tourism industry.

“What makes Gold Reef City a firm favourite among South Africans and international guests alike, is the unique way in which we have managed to maintain and preserve the charm and nostalgia of an old mining town, while offering our guests unprecedented entertainment and every other world-class amenity that they could think of. The fact that we were voted as ‘The Best Local Tourist Attraction’ for the third time in a row, once again reaffirms our position as one of South Africa’s national tourist treasures. We feel truly honoured to feature in the Readers’ Choice supplement once again, and we want to thank every single person who voted for us,” said Gareth Kaschula, Gold Reef City’s marketing manager.
