    The property is walking distance from everything, it is so safe, convenient and very clean. In the morning whilst having coffee on the stoep you hear every small thing - birds chirping, leaves rustling. Just amazing!

Welcome to "Die Tabak Huis" in the heart of the Karoo (Sutherland). Known for its cold temperatures (and snowfall), as well as incredible night skies and star gazing opportunities! Die Tabak Huis has two bedrooms, one bathroom and wonderful extras such as gas heaters, two fireplaces, Electric Blankets on all beds, two fire places and a Dover Stove. This house is great for a family or friends getaway with ample space for entertaining! Only 3,5 hours from Cape town. Escape to the Karoo!
Sutherland's arid climate and remote location 1,450 metres (4,760 ft) above sea level make its night skies among the world's clearest and darkest. The telescopes of the South African Astronomical Observatory are nearby at 32°22′46″S 20°48′38.5″E. These include the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), the largest single optical telescope in the southern hemisphere.[8]
