Reviews of Garden Hut

We had an amazing stay! The apartment is located in a picturesque area on the hillside, surrounded by lots of greenery, right in the hosts’ beautiful garden where three friendly, domesticated turtles roam freely – such a lovely touch! 🐢 The apartment itself was spotless, fresh, and everything worked perfectly, including the air conditioning. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen, which made our stay even more comfortable. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming – they greeted us warmly, showed us around, and explained everything at the start of our stay. As a lovely surprise, we were welcomed with two fresh coconuts and a basket of local fruits. The location is great too – there are several shops and restaurants nearby, and the beach is just a short walk away. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

David and Marlene were amazing and helpful hosts

Great place, close to the airport. Beautiful garden!!!

Not good value for money

Facilities & amenities

We felt at home! Marlene and David along with Jean Luc are super host! They arranged also a car rental at a good price and helped us making the most of our time in Mahe. We found a lot of fresh local fruit in the fridge! Marlene was way too kind to let us have a a shower before our flight even after the check out time. Thank you for everything!

Lovely and clean, comfortable bed and everything you needed there. Marlene and David were great hosts and we were well looked after with plenty of fresh delicious fruits. We were picked up from the airport (much cheaper than taxis and also hired a car for the day from their don). Very short walk to the supermarket, easy 5 min walk to the nearest beach and 10 mins walk to restaurants. Great location.

David and Marlene were perfect hosts it was a fantastic place to stay and You can arrange with David for transportation from the airport for a reasonable price

Great stay at the Garden Hut! Everything we need or don't need was provided for a comfortable stay. Very relaxed & friendly vibe. Even the dogs were welcoming us after the first day of checking us out. We were very well looked after indeed! Thank you, David & Marleen for your friendship. Highly recommended place to stay!

I spent first and last night at Garden Hut. And it was an excellent choice. Quiet location, close to the bus stop, comfortable room with well equiped kitchen and very nice veranda, surrounded by plants and flowers. But for me the most important is a hospitality of Marlene and David. Thanks to this lovely people my holiday started and ended smoothly.

Loved the hospitality of the place. Marlene and David were the best hosts. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials, the garden was very well kept. Wish could have stayed for longer, we’ve heard a lot about their barbecue.

The hosts - Marlene and David were absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating, and thoughtful (Marlene left us some breakfast in the room which we thought was very kind). The garden hut has all the facilities that you need. Comfortable and quiet, great location, close to the restaurants and local bars. Wish we stayed there longer! Next time!

Everything was excellent!

Everything! A lovely reception from Marlene and David and their family. A spotlessly clean ‘garden hut’ with a covered patio, a comfortable bedroom, a well-equipped small kitchen and a bright, clean bathroom. Marlene and David’s hospitality is second to none! The location is a 10 minute (max) walk to the main road and on to the beaches, a supermarket and bus stop just 2 minutes away. We walked to the Takamaka Rum Distillery which was 30 minutes away. Fine other than it was hot and humid, but worth the walk. There are a couple of good restaurants on the main road less than a 15 minute walk. We were fortunate to have 2 nights here as I’m sure lots of people just have 1 night as it’s near the airport but we had a really chilled time relaxing on the patio and enjoying their garden. Marlene provided welcome pack with breads, butter, milk, fruit and jams.

Very comfortable and easy going. Beautiful garden, even had 2 tortoises who mowed the lawn.

Marlene and David have been like Mama and Papa! We hope to come back someday. A second slim bedside table would be nice. Everything was pefect, the kindness and hospitality was going in our hearts! Thanks for all

The quiet, comfortable, cosy and well-equipped Garden Hut is conveniently located near the beaches, shops, takeaways and restaurants and just a 20- min drive from Victoria and the stunning beaches at the West Coast. A rental car was conveniently organised by our host family. But what made our stay really extraordinary was the warm-heartedness of our hosts, who did not only welcome us by organising the pick-up from the airport but also with fresh flowers, coconuts and fruit and a basic supply of water, coffee and foodstuffs etc. They are such nice and considerate people always ready to share information and give valuable advice of all kinds. We got on with each other so well that they finally invited us to their Christmas dinner with all their family, the most wonderful and impressive experience we’ve had so far in Seychelles. We came as guests and left as friends - thank you so much Marlene and David!

Marlene and David are fabulous hosts and looked after us very well. Their garden is beautiful. We were arriving late and Marlene kindly provided provisions for breakfast the next morning and local treats throughout our visit. She really went out of her way to support us during our last few days in the Seychelles.

Nothing, this place is very special.

This is an excellent choice for accommodation in Mahe. Close to the bus stop but in a quiet location, the hut is spacious and features a nice veranda. The tortoises in the back yard are so cool. But the hosts are the best - Marlene and David go the extra mile to make their guests feel welcome. They welcomed us with coconuts and a basket fruit. Tea, coffee and toast for breakfast are also provided. Their service was really 5-star. The only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Thank you for your hospitality!

We spent one night at Garden Hut before catching an early flight back home the morning after. The owner were super helpful, Marlene gave us some fresh lemongrass to prepare a tisane and left fresh bread and fruit in the kitchen for a quick breakfast. They helped us to book a car with their son’s rental company. Marlene’s husband took us to the airport. The review is more about the people rather than the place!The room was clean and private. The bathroom and kitchen (even if it was small) were modern and clean.

If you decide to spend more than one night at Garden Hut you really need a car to reach any type of service.

A perfect spot in a great location. David and his wife were wonderful hosts. They picked us up and returned us to the airport. Had some snacks ready for us in the garden hut. Have us a recommendation for a great dinner delivered to the hut. It was all perfect. A little garden paradise.

Nothing. It was all very nice.
