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.

    Dit was die lekkerste en geselligste, en mees ontspanne atmosfeer - dit was 'n heelike ondervinding en het vir Gustav baie geniet

    Ons het die kos en ondervinding geniet maar ons voel dit is te gejaagd tussen die verskillende gange. Ons is nog besig met 'n gang dan kom die volgende kos al uit.

    Beautiful venue, wonderful food and very relaxing atmosphere. We celebrated my daughter's birthday here and she absolutely loved it. Will definitely be back when next we are on holiday in the area.
