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.

    This was a great experience, pure relaxation and friendly atmosphere. Our kids had a lot of fun, they were busy with various activities offered at the location. We are coming back for sure!

    We ordered additional prawns, and although we were informed that the prawns are not pealed, they were not deveined either. Still very tasty, but not so easy to devein after cooking which affected the overall taste experience.

    We had an incredible time at De Vette Mossel in Hermanus! Charné & Gustave were incredible hosts and the food was out of this world. We can’t wait to go back again.
