OK grocer, coffee and gift shops and a post office. Travel info on the minor route between Sutherland and Merweville, via the Rammelkop Pass and onto the Karoo National Park: It was reported that during October 2013 this road condition was good, but with many manual farm gates to open and close on the Sutherland side. Going further towards the Karoo National Park, find out possibly from Sanparks website wrt flooding in the area and the conditions of the roads. It was reported that the road between Skurweberg and Sutherland was not that good in September 2013. There is a clinic, hospital no. for Sutherland Public Hospital.
