The town of Sutherland was established on the farm, De List in 1855. The large Dutch Reformed Church, in the centre of Sutherland, was built in 1899. Sutherland is also the birth town of the famous South African Poet, NP van Wyk Louw. Sutherland also hosts the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), the largest single optical telescope in the Southern Hemisphere. Sutherland’s arid climate and remote location 1,450 metres (4,760 ft) above sea level makes its night skies among the worlds’ clearest and darkest. When visiting the South African Astronomical Observatory, look out for Salpeterkop, an extinct volcano, which erupted 66 million years ago. The town is one of the coldest in South Africa with snowfall and extreme temperatures during the winter months. Snowfall is common in winter and on 12 July 2003 the lowest temperature in Sutherland was recorded as -16.4 °C.

Sutherland Reviews
The guesthouse, the food, the stars, the planetarium. No litter, no beggars and no starving stray dogs walking around.
The peace and quiet, and clean Karoo air.
Interesting planetarium, quaint architecture. All set in an incredible sparse landscape.
Stargazing with Jurg, the planetarium, sungazing and visiting the SALT.
Stary-nights, food, hospitality, planetarium, stargazing.
The Planetarium, the Mall.
