In June 2006 The Lighthouse Group was awarded the rights to “take care” of the Jetty and to make it viable, the rights to construct an “Oyster Bar” at the end of the structure. The group would maintain the renovated jetty and prevent it from becoming run down and unsafe as it was in previous years, which resulted in its closure for seven years. The jetty was renovated to roughly half way, and the rest of the structure was cut away and left to the elements. Quinton’s wish was to ‘save’ the portion left to disintegrate, and after engineers, divers and experts deemed the seaward portion more suitable to carry the restaurant structure, the Lighthouse Group undertook the task of renovating and rescuing the seaward portion of the jetty and once again restoring it to its full glory. It was opened to the public on 6 August 2010 by Swakopmund’s Mayor followed by the opening of the restaurant on 14 October 2010. Jetty 1905 is located at the point of the jetty with a viewing deck above it to allow every member of the public to enjoy the view from the end of the jetty. In June 2014 the culmination of rough seas, high water, spring tide and strong currents resulted in wave damage to the restaurant and it was forced to close its doors to renovate, but after two months and some remodeling, the doors we opened once more. Jetty 1905 has become one of Swakopmund’s leading restaurants and travelers book well in advance to secure a table and enjoy the spectacular view, excellent service and delicious dishes.
