    My son just stepped through the main door and said: "Wow, if this is not a 10 (on Booking), I don't know what a 10 is." The appartment is even nicer than on photos, spacious, stylish, spotlesly clean, with two big bathrooms, hot water always available. The essentials were provided when we arrived (salt, sugar, vinegar, coffee, washing liquid) and Magdalena, the owner, gave us so many good advice. The position of the appartment is perfect, as all the places on Mahé are easily accessible from there. The location is quiet and the outdoor sitting area has a direct view of the ocean. And finally, we absolutely fell in love with a quiet, small beach just a 100 meters from the appartment, just a few steps right to the place where the road to the appartment joins the main road. Perfection!

    The hill from the main rd but we soon got use to it. 😀

    I loved that the host was so hospitable, she made my son and i so welcomed. The shop and restaurants were down the rd and there a local beach near by to relax.

    We spent three days as a family in May. The accommodation was very clean and spacious with a fully equipped kitchen. The location is good for exploring the south of Mahe. Magdalena as the owner was so kind and friendly with very reasonable rules regarding the apartment. She was in contact all the time, helping her guests on request. To sum up, we recommend this accommodation.

    The property is located up a steep hill so it's not something you want to go up and down more than once a day. The rooms are very large. I booked the entire condo but the host had locked the second room. It sat further away from the street, so I should have had my choice of rooms. The AC is only in the bedroom and is old. The blades point towards the wardrobe closet, so not very effective at all The ceiling fans in the living room and kitchen do not provide enough cooling for the extreme heat and humidity. The bathroom decor is lovely, but the only light switches are behind the bedroom door, so not at all convenient. The lighting in the bathroom is not very bright. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine. The host is lovely and brought me fresh bananas from their garden. The unit is very close to the street so there is some traffic noise; mainly as vehicles are making their way up that hill. Bus stops aren't too far, but sidewalks are limited and traffic is fast moving.

    Nothing.

    The house is located in a very good position, close to the airport and to all the beaches of the south. There is also a very nice beach reachable on foot. The house is very confortable, clean and big, with two bathrooms, washing machine and all the facilities you may need. It has a wonderful view on the surrounded forest. The owner is very helpful providing tips and advices on how to spend perfect holidays.

    I am delighted with the choice of this guest house! Perfectly clean, spacious, has everything you need in the kitchen for cooking, comfortable beds, a terrace with a beautiful view of the mountains. The location is convenient, within walking distance of the beach, a small supermarket, take away, restaurant, Takamaka factory, craft village, mountain trail for hiking. The hostess is very hospitable and kind, attentive and sensitive to guests, knows what good service is. She gave us recommendations for places to visit, additionally provides a car for rent and can meet you from the airport.

    Rested on May 12-17, 2023. I really liked it! It's cozy and clean. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen and living room. The apartment has all the dishes. The air conditioners are working. The owners provided towels and clean beds. There is parking. Good location. Overall, we really liked it. We left for 2 days for La digue, when we returned to this apartment, we felt like we were back in our house;)
