ACCOMMODATION
Die Blou Huis -Where you can simply relax and unplug your mind
The house is very appropriately named Die Blou Huis (The Blue House) – no surprise there! Since the house’s front is right on the beach and it sits squeezed in between many others, there is no way of reaching the front of the house by car. Which of course means the street entrance to the house is from the back.
Look for the little sign under the tree in the open parking space which can accommodate more than one vehicle. There it is – the double storey house painted a beautiful soft blue with white window frames, deck railings and other trimmings.
Enter the sloping yard through the little white gate and follow the winding footpath with handrails past the covered braai to the back door on the back porch. The backyard is walled on all sides making it a safe place for children and small dogs to play. It is also fenced off from the front part of the yard to keep the dogs off the beach.
Next to the small entrance gate to the right is an odd little stone building which actually houses a toilet.
Downstairs the Ground Floor
In the corner of the back porch is a small shower with its own gas geyser offering warm water at all times. Step through the back door into the well equipped kitchen and let the warm welcoming atmosphere enfold you.
The house is entirely built from wood, the walls, the floors, the staircase to the top floor, the decks, all wood, well worn and lived in. Creating such homeliness, such a comforting sense of being safe and protected.
Find three bedrooms, a bathroom, the TV room as well as the cosy and comfortable living-dining room overlooking the Bay and the Goukou River estuary.
A kind request – please do not smoke inside the house
Climb the stairs to the top floor and find another three bedrooms, a bathroom as well as a separate toilet. From the small manoeuvring space between the rooms you can step onto two decks – one along the front of the house, and the other along the back.
Enjoy the very private deck at the back , while from the front deck you can lose yourself in the splendour of the ocean. The breeze from the sea, the restlessness of the water and the constant mollifying rustling drone of waves rolling in. While sipping on a drink and enjoying a braai with family and friends
