Situated 1500m above sea level on the Roggeveld escarpment in the Great Karoo, the village of Sutherland is 100km from the fast paced N1 and about 370km by road north east of Cape Town. Come and experience Sutherland hospitality at its best. The beautiful clean champagne air of the high Karoo is an exceptional experience, especially during the night when the awesome milky way unfolds itself. The stars are very clearly visible and is also the main reason why SALT (Southern Africa Large Telescope) are built in this area. See our attraction list. The Sutherland Hotel is wheelchair and pet friendly.
