Starry Night

Starry Night is ideal for couples or parents travelling with a child, situated in Sutherland. Starry Night offers a bedroom with a full en-suite bathroom as well as its own lounge and foyer, with a kitchenette and an outdoor braai area. Since one must go through the main bedroom to access the bathroom, it is best if parties of three are a family.

Sutherland is a quaint Karoo town known best for its stargazing. The South African Astronomical Oberservatory/SAAO is only a 15-minute drive away, where day and night tours are available. The town also boasts the childhood house of Afrikaans writer N.P van Wyk Louw, and a beautiful church built in 1855.

Although the region is semi desert, every year winter dusts the landscape in snow and spring brings forth a multitude of daisies. The fresh air and peace and quiet makes for a great getaway from the city.

Sutherland is also close to the sites of unique corbel houses. Corbel houses are only found in this region in and around the towns of Fraserburg, Williston and Carnarvon. They look something like stone beehives and were built from flat stones common to the area where wood was not available.
