A Peace in Paradise

Unprofessional Owner and Unjustified Charges Credit Card TRAP! This stay was a complete nigh**are. The owner of the property was incredibly rude and unprofessional throughout our interaction. During check-out, the owner personally inspected the room. We handed over the keys confident that everything was in order. Imagine our shock when we discovered a €200 charge on our credit card just one hour later! We called the owner immediately to clarify the charge. Instead of a calm explanation, she became defensive and started shouting. We simply wanted a valid reason for the charge, especially since she had just inspected the room herself. Unfortunately, she offered no explanation and abruptly ended the call. There is absolutely no justification for this surprise charge. We did not damage anything in the room, and the owner confirmed this during the check-out inspection. We strongly advise anyone considering this property to look elsewhere. The owner's unprofessional behavior and the unexplained charges are unacceptable.

Erada ist a lovely person, with an old soul. She has put her heart into these houses and garden, that is why it looks and feels so incredible! When I finally packed out my stuff upon arrival in the villa where I stayed the first night, I felt likt I had finally arrived at the Seyshells. Erada made me feel so welcome. In the evening I layed in the hammock sofa at the terrasse, listening to the birds. For me, the birds are the sound of the Seyshells! When I opened the door every morning there was a strong bird sound - I loved it! Erada is very forward thinking, she is thinking green, recycles, supports sustainability, is healthy life style minded, which are the core features and values of this location. I would definitely stay there again!! Local Tipps: Easy Dinner at Lunch Box (they serve different dishes and fishes for 5€), groceries at Mini Mart (a friendly Indian man with fair prices), the beach anse a La Mousche is also nice, during the day it apparently is a lagoon, but I only visted it in the evenings after dinner. It is not that clean, but the locals also come there in the evening and enjoy the hot, hot, hot water. And one can enjoy the sunset!

Awful, awful, awful on every account. We were supposed to stay 19 nights and left after 3. I cannot list the problems with this rental in this space. 1) No hot water in kitchen to wash dishes, 2) no microwave, coffee maker or hardly any other appliances, 3) RUDE host, 4) Shattered glass door unrepaired-dangerous, 5) TV broken, 6) Light is a bare lightbulb hanging from ceiling, 7) Beds are tiny, 7) Dingy to say the least, 8) No grill or firepit, 9) Constant construction going on at the property, 10) hardly anywhere to park, 11) Insecure, intermittent WIFI. I could go on but it's obvious this is not a good place to stay. Many better options on Mahe.

A quiet oasis with a beautiful garden. There are some small but comfortable cottages placed in the lush garden with their own veranda. A 10 min walk to the only restaurant in neighbourhood and a small shop where you can by some basic groceries. The beach Anse a La Mouche isn’t very suitable for swimming mainly because of strong wind but also sea****. You can take the local bus to the east side of Mahe to Anse Royal where swimming is nice. The only thing that was disappointing in this place was the lack of Wifi, so if your heading here be sure to have a local sim card in your phone.

We loved it! The pictures will speak for themselves..beautiful setting. Close to a beach, market,grocery store and restaurants (2) that were open during our stay. Our host was exceptional and provided advice and assistance. This is a self catering logement however Bernadette cooked us a delicious creole dinner- Homemade with Love! (This can be requested). The garden is incredible...you are surrounded by nature. If you are looking for a peaceful spot in nature with self catering facilities I highly recommend.
