Established in 1890
The Bot River Hotel, established in the 1890s, stands as a proud testament to the history of Botrivier in the Western Cape. Built during the town’s early development, it became a casual stopover for travellers and traders in the Overberg region, even before the railway’s arrival in 1902 connected the area to Cape Town and beyond.
Botrivier’s roots trace back to the 18th century when it served as a Dutch East India Company outpost. This strategic location monitored frontier movement and thrived as a center for agriculture and trade, with the indigenous Khoikhoi people contributing significantly through butter production. These historical ties cemented the hotel’s role as a key gathering place in the growing settlement.
