Alpha is a quaint little cottage with everything you need for self-catering. There is a microwave, small stove, fridge, crockery and cutlery for you. There is 2 en-suite bathroms and we do have an extra bed in the lounge area for a 5th person. For wintertimes we do have a firepace inside the lounge. We would love to hear that you have had a unforgettable stay here!

I used to live for 33 years in Sutherland and like all small towns everybody knows everybody! I love to read, love gardening - though it is tough in the Karoo, and I like doing business and traveling. I love to have happy guests and we hope you will have a nice stay in the flat.
