Hotels in Sutherland, United Kingdom

Sutherland is a small town in South Africa's Northern Cape, famous for being one of the best places in the world for stargazing thanks to the South African Astronomical Observatory. Winters are freezing (often below 32°F / 0°C), with crystal-clear skies perfect for peering through telescopes at the observatory or just lying on the Karoo plains to spot the Milky Way. Summers are milder (around 77°F / 25°C), great for hiking the rugged landscape or visiting the nearby Sutherland Church-a historic building dating back to 1896-without the tourist crowds.
