"Sutherland is so interessant. Ons het sterre gekyk, SALT besoek, die geskiedenis van die dorp verken, die kerk was so pragtig, die Louw huis was goed om te sien. Ons was 4 dae daar en het elke dag iets gehad om te doen. En ek moenie vergeet om die eetplekke te noem nie. Jy gaan beslis bietjie vakansie gewig optel! Ek is so bly ons het gegaan en ons was daar in die Somer en dit was regtig nie te warm nie. Gaan kuier gerus, jy sal nie spyt wees nie en dis lekker naby aan die Kaap vir die wat nie ure wil ry nie."
"Die besoek aan die kerkbasaar, kerk, SALT en sterrekyk by Jurg Wagner was van die hoogtepunte. Dit was hartseer om die pragtige, klip skoolgebou te sien wat afgebrand het. "
"Pragtige, bekoorlike plekkie met baie interessante mense! SALT besoek amazing en Blue Moon het heerlike kos!"
"Sutherland was a life changing experience. Stargazing that made me realise that we as Earthlings are merely a molecule in creation, the cemetery, so well preserved and kept, made history a reality. The town is neat, no children or people begging from car to car. A town with pride and dignity. Town is so clean and safe to wander the streets by day or night. No glitz and glamour apart from the stars shining. Pure as snow the souls that inhabit the town. Also very friendly, all apart from the lady in the Antique Shop. She is not friendly and none of her goods in her shop marked and makes up prices as she feels. Not a good experience. Blue Moon Restaurant has such friendly staff and good quality food and the best chocolate cake ever to be found at Strawberry Moon. Jurg/stargazing (Sterland) was a wonderful experience and such an honour to be introduced to the moon and stars by a man with so much passion and knowledge. My first experience and introduction to the galaxy was the best. Thank you so very much, Jurg. Life changing as you realise after stargazing that we are merely molecules in a very, very large galaxy and that all of us on earth are in the same boat of existence no need to be superior to others as you Mr. High and Mighty are also just a molecule in the universe. Sutherland serves as proof that with little a lot can be accomplished.We don't need the jewellery shops the take away franchises and superficial. Thank you Sutherland for grounding me again. Hopefully someday I shall have an opportunity to return. "
"Sutherland is 'n sprokiesdorp as mens wakker word en dit sneeu. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring."
"We had a great tour of the beautiful NG Church. Our guide, Oom Jannie, was very knowledgeable and you can find his number on the side door of the church. The SALT telescope is very worthwhile visiting but unfortunately, due to it being overcast we could not do any star gazing. "
"Quaint village with friendly people. The newly opened Planetarium, together with Sterland and the SAAO gives the visitor a selection of stargazing options. Very cold in the winter months."
"Die nuwe planetarium in die dorp is baie interessant en moet besoek word. Aangesien ons tydens 'n vorige besoek op 'n begelyde toer by SALT gegaan het, het ons hierdie keer net die teleskoop terrein besoek. Die uitstalsentrum lyk egter taamlik verwaarloos en vir seker in 'n baie swakker toestand as by ons vorige besoek, so ongeveer tien jaar gelede. "
"Dit is 'n pragtige dorpie met verskeie dinge om te besoek en leêr. Moenie net een nag oorslaap nie. "
"Besoek aan planetarium was wonderlik. Toer na teleskope en die aand se sterrekyk was ongelooflik."
"I was disappointed in the tour at the observatory. It was very short and the guide did not give much interesting information about the SALT. I went 10 years ago and the guide had much more information to share about the SALT. I found the new planetarium was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately the video they showed was boring (Google Xprise). I was hoping to see a video about the stars/planets but they showed mostly trailers of lots of different movies. Town itself is typical small town vibe and I loved how peaceful it was."
"Sutherland is 'n wonderlike plek met gawe mense en restaurante wat heerlike kos bedien en warm kaggelvure binne restaurant."
"Ek sal 'n Karoo-kuier in Sutherland vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Jy gaan 'n ander mens terug huis toe!"
"Die Sterrekyk by Jurg Wagenaar en besoek aan die sterrewag en Louw huis was werklik ‘n belewenis. Dis jammer, maar duidelik soos in so baie kleiner plattelandse dorpe, dat owerhede die waarde van onderhoud en verfraaiing onderskat. Vergeleke met, bv. Merweville en Prins Albert kom die dorp self verwaarloos voor en dis jammer, want Sutherland is die moeite werd om te besoek. "
"Dorpie het baie potensiaal vir toeriste attraksies. Ek sou beslis 'n lekker koffie en koek winkel wou open en dalk aktiwiteite vir kinders ontwerp."
"We loved the natural beauty, the journey there, the stars, the stargazing experience at Sterland (highly recommended), and the accommodation at Primrose Cottage. However, trying to see the NP Van Wyk Louw house and the church turned out impossible (we had a phone put down in our ears at one point). Also, the restaurants are somewhat overpriced and wishy-washy in their hours. Be prepared for a real small-town, afternoon nap attitude to tourism."
