What a pleasant surprise

A great well-maintained old farmhouse. We were able to spend the night at the Rooikloof Guesthouse.

Accommodation Description

Rooikloof Guest Farm offers a charming and restful stay on a working Karoo farm, just under 3 km from the historic town of Sutherland. The farm features four thoughtfully designed self-catering units, each with its own entrance and private patio area. Accommodation options cater to couples, families, and small groups, blending old-world charm with modern comfort.


Each unit includes one or two bedrooms, private bathrooms with showers, fully equipped kitchens, and a comfortable indoor lounge or dining area. Some units are housed in beautifully restored farm buildings with traditional Karoo architecture, such as thick stone walls and wooden ceilings that help retain warmth during chilly winter nights. All units have their own braai area and are fully equipped for a peaceful, self-sufficient farmstay. With its simplicity, natural surroundings, and warm, welcoming hosts, Rooikloof offers the perfect base to explore Sutherland’s stark beauty and famous night skies.

Setting Description

Set on a picturesque farm nestled against the rugged Rooikloof Pass, this peaceful escape lies in the wide, open landscapes of the Northern Cape's Great Karoo. The farm is surrounded by undulating hills, dry riverbeds, and rare vegetation that thrives in the crisp high-altitude climate. It’s this remote and pristine setting that gives Sutherland its exceptional night skies—renowned for their clarity and depth.


Guests at Rooikloof Guest Farm are free to walk or hike on the property’s natural trails, enjoy a picnic near one of the springs, or simply relax in the silence of the veld. It’s common to spot small game, birds, and breathtaking sunsets. Despite its remote feel, the guest farm is conveniently close to Sutherland’s local attractions—including the famous SALT observatory, local eateries, and historical landmarks. The combination of remoteness and accessibility makes Rooikloof a standout choice for stargazers, nature-lovers, and road-trippers exploring the heart of the Karoo.
