The menu reflects the true West Coast Spirit.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.
