    Really good place to stay if you want to explore the island by car
    • Leisure trip

    • Double Room with Pool View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Loud noises by animals running on the roof during the night which woke us up a couple of times because it sounded like someone was in the apartment but it was outside. Also the cleaning guys woke us up without noticing us in advance about their coming.

    Very nice location to explore the rest of the island with car. We could even use the outdoor shower on the last day before we departured by plane but had to already check-out from the room. The parking is also really good. Also they have big tortoises and lots of fruits to explore like bananas.

    Could be cleaner and the doors and windows to seal better. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms (which is quite common).

    Spacious 2 bedroom apartment at the back of the property guarded by the tortoises and the friendly dogs and cats. Has everything you need in a basic budget friendly apartment. Staff are very responsive. It’s not far from the airport or craft village or rum distillery. A supermarket is also walking distance. The pool while small was still great for the kids to play.

    Okay apartment, fight with lizards
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Single Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    We had lizards in the apartment, we fought them every day, but they came in from every possible hole, so our stay was not relaxing. The location is okay but there are no nice beaches nearby so you need to get there by car or bus. It is difficult to walk because the roads have no sidewalks.

    Large and spacious apartment, proximity to the shop and bus station. Friendly owners who provided us with transportation to the ferry port.

    Missing hair dryer, no faz extraction in the bathroom. The second time we stayed with them, they didn't put water on the water dispenser, but after we messaged them, they gave us two small water bottles.

    They are flexible and helpful people. They listen to our suggestions. They provided a tissue box to the room after we suggested it. They added soap in the bathroom as well.

    Missing fan extracter in the toilet, no hairdryer provided, no tissue box in the room. My room had a connecting door, which made me hear the conversations until late from the other room.

    They provided a water dispenser, which was a lovely surprise. 2 towels provided. They allowed a late check-in. They provide microwave, kettle, fridge, mugs.

    Swimming pool was very small and out of order. They separated our group into 2 rooms a bit far from each other, rooms are a bit outdated.

    Close to shops and restaurants, right by the ocean, close to the airport, takamaka rum distillery and beautiful beaches. There are 3 lovely turtles too!

    Water supply for the washing machine was not working, and it wasn't known by the staff before my stay. While it was fixed the next day, I couldn't proceed with my washing plan for my trip (leaving the next morning), such thing I recommend should be checked before any guest stay.

    Everything was good, the flat was spacious, comfortable and had most of what you need for a self_catring accommodation. The staff were nice and responsive.

    Accommodation was a good price for the Seychelles and was perfectly comfortable. It was close to the beach and only 7 kilometres from the airport which was the reason we choose this for our last night on Mahe. Just bear in mind that the morning rush hour traffic is very slow and it took us an hour to get the airport during that time.
