Alpha offers a two-bedroom, en-suite apartment with stone walls in the charming Karoo town of Sutherland on both a self-catering and bed and breakfast basis. The unit is perfect for a family holiday, with one room featuring a double bed and the other room two single beds. In addition, an extra divan in the lounge area can accommodate a fifth person. Features include DStv and a fireplace for those cold winter nights, as well as a garden with barbecue facilities. All rooms also offer electric blankets to fend off the winter night chill. Sutherland is well-known for its large telescope at the observatory, a mere 15 km from town, where day and night tours are also available. The museum, the birthplace of the Afrikaans writers and poets, NP van Wyk Louw and his brother, WEG Louw are worth a visit, as is the Dutch Reform Church, with its beautiful organ and history of the Anglo Boer War.
