Where is Sutherland?: Sutherland is situated in the highlands of the Karoo, 335 km by tar road from Cape Town. Sutherland is known as the gateway to the universe and also as the land of snow and stars. That is because it is statistically the coldest place in South Africa and also home to the famous SALT telescope. This is the most powerful telescope in the Southern Hemisphere and can detect a candle burning on the moon.
If you want to get away from the rat-race and the life in the city, this is the place to be. If you want fresh, fresh air, solitude, vertical and horizontal space and absolute silence, you must visit Sutherland. You will for the first time in your life be able to hear the blood rush through your veins.
Coming to Sutherland is an experience in it self. It is like travelling back in time literally and figuratively. Come and experience the simplicity of the life in the Karoo and enjoy the genuine country hospitality. Discover all the hidden secrets of the Karoo’s fauna and flora and also the universe, by attending the evening Stars to Midnight lectures and star viewing offered by the local observatory.
