Adéle Tolken Beuthe

Member since 2017

Tell us a little bit about yourself: I’m a South African artist and designer. I have two beautiful daughters. My husband and I have been expats since 2006. This is our second posting in Jakarta. We lived here for 2.5 years from 2008 - 2010. How long have you been in Jakarta this time? Since June 2017 How did you learn about ANZA? Through a friend who invited me to join bootcamp. What has been your favourite ANZA event(s) or activities? The ANZA Ball and Melbourne Cup. Not only to attend but also to help with set-up.

Use 3 words to describe living in Jakarta. TII (This is Indonesia) - a bit of a mantra to get you through the ups and downs. What’s your favourite area in Jakarta and why? When I do get out of my “Kemang” bubble I like to go to the Golden Triangle - Senopati, Senayan and SCBD. It's fun to wander around the shops at Grand Indonesia then enjoy the spectacular city view from Skye Bar. Where was the last great meal you had in Jakarta? Fujin on Jl. Gunawarman. I recommend trying the gyoza and whiskey highballs. Where would we find you on a typical Sunday morning? In my home studio working on my next artwork. Or outside enjoying a cup of coffee after a workout at F45 Kemang

Any advice to a new arrival to Jakarta? Make sure to try the five national foods: Nasi Goreng, Gado-Gado, Soto, Sate and Rendang. Can you recommend a must-see/must-do in Jakarta? We like to take visitors to Kota Tua (Old Town) and to have lunch at Cafe Batavia Can you recommend a great weekend trip? I wish we did more weekend getaways because the few we have done have been fantastic. I loved spending a long weekend at Roemah Pulo Manuk (IG @ Roemahpulomanuk), a beach house on Pantai Pulo Manuk, approx 4 hours drive from Jakarta. Pulau Sepa is also a fun one-night getaway or camping around Sentul.

2019 Life Members Honours

Each year the ANZA Mains Committee looks to recognise our most dedicated and longest-serving volunteer members by awarding them Life Membership.

Catherine Anderson Catherine has held a few roles across ANZA including Front Desk Volunteer, Membership Coordinator and Orphans Playgroup Coordinator Many new arrivals would have been warmly welcomed by Catherine at a Friday Coffee Morning. She has always been willing to share her knowledge and help others find their feet. She is affectionately known as ANZA’s Shopping Expert - especially when it comes to fabrics. Catherine’s dedication to the Orphans Playgroup has been inspiring. Catherine’s passion for travel and outdoor pursuits has led to some amazing experiences around the world but she has recently repatriated to the green hills of NZ. We presented her with Life Membership just before her departure and hope she will be back for a visit in the future.

Renee Clarke Renee is one of our most creative members and has worked behind the scenes on many of our events. For the last two years she has been the ANZA Ball Coordinator bringing to life the whimsical and colourful themes of ANZA in Wonderland and Under the Sea This year she also took on the role of ANZA House Manager and has added more colour to our common space by introducing ANZA Artist Corner. Renee was pleasantly surprised to receive her Life Membership at our Members' Christmas Lunch. She shared a few words about how ANZA helped her settle into life in Jakarta and how much she values the friendships she has made. We really value Renee's contributions to ANZA and think the honour is well deserved.
