White House

The White House is fast becoming the most popular and most affordable place to stay in Sutherland. After being transformed from the local garage to its current lodge and backpackers, it has found its place in the market and appeals to all travellers who need good clean accommodation and fun.

The White House appeal comes from the genuine home from home approach and the feeling of belonging once you enter. The open plan lounges, dining room bar and recreation area make for a friendly mood and gives visitors the chance to mingle with other guest should they feel that way.

It is designed for the true traveler.

SUTHERLAND is many things, Small, Quiet, Remote and Interesting. It is the Gateway to the Northern Cape and also as we say The Universe. Star Gazing in this part of the world is of the Best on the Planet. Visits to S.A.L.T. (Southern African Large Telescope) can be arranged in advance via our tourism office.

The journey from the WHITE HOUSE through the TANKWA via the OUBERG PASS to PLANET KAROO is one of the best journeys in the world!

Besides the obvious trips to the Observatory there are other things that make a visit here so unique and memorable. The terrain is firstly stark, mountainous and often breathtaking. The joy of drifting this way is the lack of people and traffic and one can sometimes spend and entire day without seeing other people.

Accommodation ranges from our "PRESIDENTIAL SUITE with En-Suite and private braai to our up stairs DORM ONE and TWO for the travellers who wants clean comfortable rooms at very affordable prices.
