The Artists Cottage

 
 

Description

The Artist's Cottage is situated in the centre of the little town called Sutherland. The cottage is a typical Karoo-style building, but it has been renovated with modern flare without losing its authentic feel.

Sutherland is situated in the Northern Cape, just a stone's throw from the Western Cape's border, and is known for its clear skies, stars and its cold temperatures in winters, which can drop to below zero and snows occasionally. The town is also steeped in South African history, endemic succulents and amazing architecture.

Sutherland is home to SALT, the Southern African Large Telescope, which is the second largest optical telescope in the world. The town itself is quaint and quiet, but there is more to it than just visiting the observatory. The Artist's Cottage is ideal for that weekend away from the city, and spending some quality time with family.

The house contains two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, and comfortably sleeps four. Downstairs has a bedroom with a double bed and en-suite bathroom. An open-plan dining area, kitchen and big fireplace, built in the old-fashioned way and is big enough to climb into and sit next to the fire, is available. The kitchen has a fridge, a small gas stove, a microwave, and all cutlery and crockery that you may need. Upstairs is a loft bedroom, which is accessible via stairs inside the house or outside of the house. The room has a modern open-plan bathroom with a loose standing Victorian bath, a separate toilet and enough space to sit and read.

This little cottage must be the most romantic place I have stayed in. The cottage is well appointed and has everything that one requires. Also must mention that it was impeccably clean and neat. Just a pity that we didn't spend more time there.

What an incredible place. We were so surprised at the layout and interior of the cottage, completely taken aback. We felt comfortable from the moment we stepped into the cottage. Everything we needed for self-catering were catered for. The town itself is one of the best destinations we have visited. The peace and quiet was perfect for relaxing and letting your hair down. The SALT tour was very interesting and professionally conducted. But most of all, the best self-catering acc ... more
