Great view, atmosphere and local cuisine for lunch or dinner. The building that houses this restaurant is a heritage site that has been part of Blouberg’s history for over two hundred years. Once home to Frederick Louis Stadler, after whom Stadler Road is named, these days it offers a selection of seafood and a splendid view of the bay.

If you’re looking for somewhere to get sushi then you have to head to Blowfish Restaurant, situated in the Dolphin Beach Hotel. It also has a seafood counter that allows you to create your own seafood platter, making it the perfect choice for people who want a little of everything.

Unique wine tasting experience in old wine storage caves. Be sure to book in advance. Their wine tasting caves were once fermentation tanks for wine. Some still have magical, shiny tartaric acid deposits on the walls and others have lines that show the wine levels of yesteryear.

Sightseeing

Beach just across the road, famous for its ideal kitesurfering conditions. Bloubergstrand is divided into two beaches – Big Bay and Little Bay. Big Bay is a long stretch of beach that is popular with kitesurfers due to the epic wind that you can find in the area. It’s also a great family beach – perfect for lazy walks with the kids. Little Bay is popular with those looking to picnic and braai. There’s a lawn-covered braai area, and kids can explore the nearby rock pools.
