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.

    Booking our Buffet at De Vette Mossel was a last minute decision, but now that we think of it, we certainly made the right choice! Everything about De Vette Mossel just felt right, from the time you arrived until the time you reluctantly had to leave again. Our hosts were very friendly and made is feel welcome right from the start. The food was absolutely delicious, with a seven course buffet, which included freshly baked potbrood served woth real plaas botter and jam, mussels in their shells and mussel bredie, kreef and patats, seafood potjie, meat potjie, fruits in season with coffee and kondensmelk enjoyed together with mouth watering koeksisters. All in all an amazing experience and one we'll definitely want to experience again and again. This is a unique experience we definitely can recommend to anyone that likes to kick of your shoes and hang out with friends and family at a very relaxing and informal atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for sure!
