Reviews of Tropical Garden Self Catering

If you want to explore the island of Mahé, this place is perfect! The house is truly amazing – spacious, welcoming, with a wonderful view, and surrounded by green nature and many flowers. It has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Thanks to Flossy for her generosity and kindness, which made our stay really special – she is a truly lovely host!

The location might be a hit or miss depending on what you are looking for - we came to spend a few days in Tropical Garden Self-Catering after we had already spent a week on Praslin and La Digue in accomodations located near the ocean and beaches, so the fact that Tropical Garden is located at a distance from any nearest beach and up in the mountains was not a drawback for us. Quite on the contrary: we noticed that at a higher altitude (around 330 metres ASL) the air in the morning was a bit more fresh and cool than at the sea level. Tropical Garden Self Catering, true to its name, is located within a beautiful garden from which we were encouraged by our hostess to pick starfruit straight from the tree. It has a breathtaking view of the mountains from its balcony. It is spacious and tastefully furnished, clean and cosy. The hostess Flossy is the heart and soul of this place - she gave us the most heartfelt welcome, taking time to explain which beaches are safe to swim, which trails she recommends for hiking, which buses to take to go to Victoria or to the nearest beach she recommends for swimming and snorkelling (Port Launay). When on one day wi-fi stopped working, she was on the phone with us and quickly resolved the issue. She organised a taxi for us, asking the driver on our behalf to take us to the hypermarket in Victoria and wait for us while we did our grocery shopping before taking us to the accomodation. We did not rent a car on Mahe and still managed to see most of the island travelling by bus - the bus stop is located witihin about 8 minutes walking distance from the accomodation. You just need to devote some time to study the SPTC bus schedule but once you decode it, there is no stopping you from seeing every corner of Mahe!

There are no stores nearby (in a reasonable walking distance at least - maybe if you rent a car the situation would be easier for you) so you need to plan your shopping in advance.

The accommodation is located in a very beautiful tropical garden with wonderful birds and beautiful flowers. Everything you need is there to make your stay comfortable and efficient. I can recommend it to everyone with no doubt.

Everything was good!

No bkfast but there was a shop close by to get groceries

Beautiful location. The host was extremely kind and helpful. I will definitely suggest this gem of an apartment to anyone going to Mahe, Seychelles. We have been treated in a fantastic manner. 5 Stars!

Nothing. There was not a single thing that we did not like. I am completely satisfied with the experience and I was a bit sad to leave such a marvellous place and host.

The property was beautiful! Amazing view of the ocean and trees. The house was clean and spacious.

The parking spot was extremely hard to get into. This could have been due to our car not turning correctly but our host moved us to a different house as soon as she saw we were struggling to get in. She was so kind and very accommodating!

The host, Flossy, was wonderful. She was very kind in helping us settle down quickly. She provided us with local recommendations and rental services via her friend for a very fair budget price. I would highly recommend her place for anyone looking to visit Mahe. Her place is very quiet (a little up the hill) with a very nice view of the mountains, and it is very peaceful for a getaway from city life in Victoria. She is ready to help if you need anything.

Lovely place up in the cooler mountains amid some beautiful scenery. Very central location to explore the island. Easy to get to the great beaches of the south. Wonderful host. Very nice house with well-furnished kitchen

Great host, the apartment was spotless and well equipped . Car is essential .

everything was excellent

Beautiful, perfect accommodation in a truly tropical environment. Quiet, safe neighborhood, the accommodation is perfectly equipped, comfortable, spacious, we can only say good things. Flossy is a wonderful, kind and helpful host. This was by far our best accommodation in the Seychelles, if we would come again, we will definitely choose this one.

Wow! What a nice place, within the tropical forest. We arrived very early in the morning and our host was so kind. She let us check in very early in the morning and we could get some sleep after a very long flight. We did not have to pay anything extra for early check-in. We woke up to a very nice view of plants surrounding the house. This is a small house, standing by itself! Very quiet and chill. It contains a bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining area and kitchen. Private parking is available and in addition a washing machine. One of the best beaches is easily reached by car. We had a rental car and it was perfect. I don't know how easy it would be to reach by public transport. Highly recommended, we would definitely come again any time.

There was really nothing that we didn't like.

The house is located in the middle of a beautiful tropical garden and it is surrounded by the rainforest on all sides. The views are amazing. Victoria is not too far, and the bus connections are frequent, so a car is not essential, although I would recommend renting one. The bungalow has everything you might need even for a long stay. Spotlessly clean. The host was very welcoming and gave us some good tips. She offered to keep our luggage on our last day and to provide us with shower facilities, so keep that in mind if you have a late flight.

Nothing.

It was a beautiful house in the middle of a beautiful tropical garden with so many beautiful plants and so much privacy. The host was very helpful and super friendly. The mountain view from the bedroom was just great. It was worth the money spent.

One can always say negative about a place but considering what we spent it was well worth it. Hope to visit again.

The guest house is equipped with all facilities. The lady is very friendly

The sofa was not so comfortable

Flossy, the perfect host upgraded us to a giant, two-story villa with all amenities for a family of four. Any issue (only minor things) we had, Flossy immediately took care of. Very friendly, very caring - extraordinary! A true comeback location for sure.

The host was very kind

It’s far from the town centre so you need a car

It's a nice house in the hill, perfect if you are planning to take a rent-a-car. The owner is very pleasant and helpfull. The apartment is little bit off the main road and it's very peacefull around the house.

Great location for exploring Mahe. Anse Soleil and Port Launay are musts. If snorkelling is of interest, then ask Micky opposite the church for a water transfer to Therese island. This was our best snorkelling spot, with Cap Ternay a close second. The property was comfortable and spacious. All essentials provided. The place was cleaned regularly during our stay. Host was very welcoming and responsive.

Beautiful and quiet location. Very friendly and helpful. Perfect self catering house with everything one could possibly need.
