"Sterre en planete kyk is iets wat elke mens in sy lewe ten minste een keer moet doen."
"Die besoek aan die kerkbasaar, kerk, SALT en sterrekyk by Jurg Wagner was van die hoogtepunte. Dit was hartseer om die pragtige, klip skoolgebou te sien wat afgebrand het. "
"Absolutely love Sutherland! Fresh air, beautiful, clear night skies. This is simple living at it's best, no snobs, no airs and graces, just normal people making a living in a desolated part of the beautiful Karoo. In additional to the normal star-gazing facilities there is now a Planetarium which offers interesting shows. If you do decide to visit Sutherland do yourself a favour and eat a lamb shank at Cluster D'Hote. Incredibly food. Just do it, you can thank me later. Looking forward to many more trips to this fascinating little town."
"Gaan na die Sterland. Jurg gaan ‘n onvergeetlike ervaring gee oor die sterre."
"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."
"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."
"Good for a long weekend. One could include a short visit to Matjesfontein. Very interesting."
"Sterrekyk in Sutherland is 'n belewenis, maar wees gewaarsku, in die winter is die kouer as koud!!"
"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. "
"Sutherland is 'n sprokiesdorp as mens wakker word en dit sneeu. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring."
"Behalwe vir die koue waaraan ons Kapenaars nie gewoond is nie, is die gasvryheid van die mense van Sutherland ongelooflik. En boonop het ons 'n bonus ontvang met die sneeu wat Sondagoggend geval het. Wat 'n ervaring. Die besoek aan die Planetarium was baie insiggewend, asook ons besoek aan Sterland."
