“Since the late 1800s and early 1900s people of the area started coming to Stilbaai for the December holidays. They came on wagons pulled by oxen loaded with food and drink and camping stuff. It took days to cover the distance from places such as Riversdale. Gradually simple holiday houses were built on both sides of the Goukou River mouth. Of course, in those days Stilbaai looked very different what with all the unspoiled vegetation, snakes and other wildlife. Even the flow of the river and appearance of the mouth were altered by a few major floods.
Many of the houses along the western beach, of which Die Blou Huis is one, date from the early twentieth century. Consequently, they are regarded as an intrinsic part of the history of Stilbaai. As historical buildings they fall under the protection of the National Heritage Resources Act.
This means that one needs approval from Heritage Western Cape before one can make any changes or renovations. Such changes or renovations include destroying, damaging, defacing and excavating, altering its original position, subdividing as well as changing the plan. Therefore, although these houses have been restored and refreshed, they kept their original layout, building material and look.”
