I Used to Hate Sutherland. Now I Own a House There.

I used to hate Sutherland. But after 14 years of traveling the world, this quiet town in the Karoo has become my ultimate escape from the loudness. From dusty motorbiking trips with bad beds to owning a house here called 'Die Koffiehuis' my relationship with Sutherland has completely changed. In this vlog, I take you on the beautiful (and very quiet) drive from Stellenbosch to Sutherland, through the twists and turns of the Western Cape's most scenic roads. We’ll take a walk through the empty streets, check out the historic horse stables, and I'll show you why this freezing little town is one of the best places in South Africa for stargazing and silence.
