"Clean and quaint town. Flower and bird life is spectacular in spring. Weather was perfect. Viewing the town during sunset from the lookout point is definitely worth the walk. Take with your mountain bike and and hiking shoes!"
"Merweville is jou tipiese Klein Karoo dorpie met vriendelike mense, waarde-vir-geld verblyf en daardie gasvryheid wat jy net in die Karoo kry. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier!"
"Die plek het gewis sy reputasie gestand gedoen en was gewis koud. Die ervaring met die mense van die dorp was egter goed en dit wat ons verwag het om te sien, was oortref. Doen gerus by die planetarium aan en kry die name van al die besienswaardighede."
"Pavements need repair as they are uneven and broken in places making it safer to walk on the road. Found the medicinal plant garden a disappointment."
"Sal enige tyd The Ghost Walk van Ailsa Tudhope aanbeveel, dink dit is 'n moet-doen vir enige iemand wat Prins Albert vir die eerste keer wil besoek."
"We drove from Cape Town via the N1 and R354 to Sutherland and the drive to Sutherland is beautiful in a dry Karoo way. The attraction I would say is in winter, where one hopes for snow. Summer would be extremely hot, but the stargazing might be more spectacular. If you're just wanting to do stargazing, visit the SALT telescope and maybe the planetarium, possibly some mountain biking or walking, then 3 to 4 days is sufficient."
"Die heel mooiste sterrehemel. Absoluut ongelooflik. Geniet die rustigheid van die dorpie."
"Good for a long weekend. One could include a short visit to Matjesfontein. Very interesting."
"Merweville het ons harte gesteel. As jy lief is vir die Karoo en stilte is dit net die plek vir jou. Bekoorlik. "
"Pragtige natuurskoon. Uitstekende bestemming vir iemand wat die stilte van die natuur opsoek."
"Baie rustige dorpie. Die mense is baie vriendelik. Sal definitief daar gaan vakansie hou."
"Sterrekyk in Sutherland is 'n belewenis, maar wees gewaarsku, in die winter is die kouer as koud!!"
"'n Besonderse plek, maar as jy nie die natuur en stilte kan geniet, maar sommige mense sal nie van die omgewing hou nie."
"Dit moet 'n emmerskopbestemming vir elkeen wees! Baie interessant en leersaam vir diegene wat in sterre en verlede belangstel. Skoon, vars, koue lug!"
"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. "
