In December 2004, owner Niel du Bois followed his heart, gave his creative spirit free reins, took the plunge and did what many people only dream about – opening an open air restaurant literally on a beach. Where the best seafood is prepared and enjoyed in Spartan surroundings – just like on the West Coast.

The first De Vette Mossel Beach Seafood Restaurant was born. On an isolated and pristine beach at Groot Brak River near Mossel Bay.

Thanks to the continuous support by our newly found Mossel friends, De Vette Mossel grew and grew. At De Vette Mossel your hosts are local Hermanus residents, Gustave and Charne du Bois. They grew up with De Vette Mossel and love the sea and all it has to offer, as well as hosting guests.

    What a great experience eating at de Vette Mossel! I thought the format worked very well. Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful view, with good food supplied regularly. The best for me was the playground. The kids had a ball and there were many kids.

    De Vette Mossel was a most remarkable experience. Not only was the food brilliant, the atmosphere, the music, the value of the experience became a real highlight of our holiday. Recommended for large gatherings or smaller. Or anyone that wants a taste of South African culture that's totally authentic and so enjoyable

    Great food, great vibe, also as non Afrikaans speakers felt very at home! Try the rock lobster!
