The name "Batavia Boutique Hotel" was derived from
Batavia, a Dutch Colony in South East Asia. Many of the senior officials at
the Cape (established on 6 April 1652), including Jan van Riebeek, had
previously served in the east. The Governer, Simon van der Stel, who
established the small town of Stellenbosch in 1672, grew up in Batavia.
Within a short walk along oak lined avenues, the Batavia's guests can
experience the best of Stellenbosch, the centre of South Africa's premier
wine region. Footloose and fancy free, visitors can appreciate splendid
examples of Cape Dutch architecture while enjoying easy access to a
fascinating collection of "living" museums, art galleries and craft centres. |
Experience the Batavia - reminiscent of the comfortable villas that hosted
discerning travellers and lordly merchants in the bygone days of the Dutch
East India Company. This boutique hotel is conveniently situated just off
the famous historical Dorp Street, the historic heart of Stellenbosch
Besides convenient closeness to village life, the Batavia offers five
en-suite bedrooms, a comfortable lounge, a dining room where sumptuous
breakfasts are served, a meeting room for business travellers who wish to
consult in comfort, and a swimming pool in a relaxed garden setting.
Original antiques, eastern rugs, ostrich leather furniture, bright bay
windows, local artworks, patio views and an excellent selection of wines
evoke the richness of the town's Dutch-African heritage.
