Lovely boutique hotel
Beautiful boutique hotel. It was pretty mush empty when we stayed but the receptionist and manager was lovely and very accommodating. Everything in the mini fridge was past it’s expiry date but apart from that we had a great night’s stay.

Fabulous stay
What a delightful and charming boutique hotel, everything you would want one to be. A super room, so well equipped and comfortable, lovely sitting areas, and a delicious and plentiful breakfast with so many choices. The absolute stars of the show, however, were the two members of staff who ran the place during our stay. Without them, it still would have been a lovely stay, but definitely not as enjoyable. They were so helpful, went the extra mile in every way, and everything done with a great big smile. And the location couldn't be better - in a quiet one way side street, and a two minute walk to the nicest areas of Stellenbosch, full of busy cafes, restaurants and coffee shops, and all kinds of shopping. A great stay. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Boutique hotel in centre of Stellenbosch. Antiques in rooms. We had a nice, large room with a modern ensuite and shower. Pleasant, helpful owner and staff. Very good breakfast, cooked to order. Would certainly recommend it to others.

Terrible night in Stellenbosch
It was absolutely dreadful. There was a buzzing outside the window all night and I did not sleep a wink. The service was shoddy and the breakfast was terrible. How this is rated five star is beyond me, from the astroturf (fake grass) around the pool ....................................

More of a B&B feel than a hotel
It's a small hotel with more of a bed and breakfast feel. The room was large and the staff was eager to help with anything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and there were plenty of extras throughout our stay like chocolates and port in your room. It's an easy walk to everything around town and great location (loved the Opie Dorp wine bar on the corner.) Our only complaints are REALLY minor- there was no ironing board in the room (which they probably would have brought one had we asked), but throughout our stay in Africa we learned that rooms only have a hairdryer or ironing board and never both. The other issue was that the first morning we went to breakfast for about 20 minutes around 9am. When we went back to the room, housekeeping had the door open and was starting to clean. This wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't have 30 minutes to get dressed for our wine tour and we weren't expecting house keeping that early so we hadn't put our valuables away in the safe and they were in the open. I asked them to come back later and there was no problem. (Not that we didn't trust them, everyone at this place was very friendly and wonderful), we were just caught off guard and weren't expecting someone to enter the room that early. Also the safe is too small to fit a small laptop. This hotel was wonderful, safe and so cozy and I highly recommend. Its the perfect location for Stellenbosch.

Nice small hotel
Very nice small hotel, that feels more like a bed & breakfast than a hotel (I believe there are 9 rooms). We stayed in one of the largest rooms and had an excellent breakfast twice in the hotel. Good location to great restaurants and shopping, all within an easy short walk. Staff were excellent and I would give this hotel 4.5 starts if I could. The only reason for not giving it 5 starts is the air conditioner was difficult to control and the TV did not work (I an sure if I asked the staff they would have fixed the TV).

Great stay
Had a lovely stay in Batavia. It's centrally located and really handy for the good restaurants and bars. It's quirky and cool, a sort of collonial feel. Food and service were excellent and lots of unexpected extras. Best thing was the staff, friendly and went out of their way to help.

Conveniently located to explore Strllenbosch. The hotel has a tasteful traditional feel and you can relax. The staff were always available and helpful. I really enjoyed the buffet and cooked breakfast. Well worth the cost throughout - it met my needs entirely. I would recommend this to anyone
