Things To Do In & Around Sutherland

Kambrokind Guest House

Louw Museum:
Nog eenmaal wil ek in die skemeraand
Weer op ons dorp en by ons dorpsdam staan,
Weer met my rek op in die donker skiet,
En luister, en al word ek seer en dof,
Hoe die klein klippe ver weg in die riet
Uit donker in die donker water plof.
N P Van Wyk Louw

InSutherland Main Street you will find the old style Bed and Breakfast of Rita and Jurg Wagener called Kambrokind. Kambro is a very tough Karoo veld food something like a potato. It can be eaten and also makes a very nice jam if you know how to do it!

The establishment is graded THREE STARS by the Tourism Grading Council. Every room is en-suite.
