Welcome to "Ons Huisie" (literally translated to Our Small Home). Ons Huisie has a long and colourful history in the
development of Bloubergstrand. It was most probably the first dwelling of Frederick Louis Stadler. Shortly after the Battle of
Blouberg in 1806, he became the owner of almost all the farm property that is now known as Bloubergstrand. No exact building date
could be established for the original residence, but an artist, Thomas Bowler, made a beautiful pencil drawing of the house
when he visited the Stadler family as far back as 1853. Hendrik Louis Stadler, the sixth son of Frederick Louis, was the owner
of "Ons Huisie" at that time. His sons, Frikkie, Rozier and Johannes, were the true pioneers of Bloubergstrand.
True fishermen at heart - they were the ones who put Bloubergstrand on the map! Acquaint yourself with the firm stare of the
three brothers at the bar area. The other prominent family involved in the history of "Ons Huisie" and Bloubergstrand, the
Boonzaier family, also stand their ground somewhere in the restaurant. The owners of "Ons Huisie" have tried to restore this
magnificent heritage sight in such a way as to capture the true feel of the fisherman’s cottage that it formerly was. We invite
you to close your eyes, hear and smell the sea, and imagine a time when life was harsh and simple, yet beautiful and
fulfilling, a time when the reward of a day’s hard work was the glistening bodies of the fish filling the nets.
Ons Huisie’s cozy little kitchen not only tickles your taste buds with their famous spit braais but also rumbles the tummy
with varied buffets and there traditional a la carte menu.The choice of menu reflects the West Coast tradition, dishes
that were mostly born out of hardship and ingenuity in an environment so stunningly beautiful but some times harsh,
relentless and unforgiving. The Afrikaans culture is an inextricable part of the history of "Ons Huisie". Experience the many
traditional names and words that form part of the menu and relax when music takes you to places so familiar to some, but new
