The view from the balcony is indeed amazing, but the living space is not. The floors were in need of a clean when we arrived and in the evening a mouse or rat ran though the living space and into the room our daughter was sleeping in. Of all the accommodation we stayed in during our time in Mauritius, this was the most expensive but was a far lower standard than the others.

Sky's home is really a great place to stay. Very centrally located and literally on the water, it is a five minute walk from the bus station in Mahébourg, from which you can go any direction you want on the island. Sky is extremely welcoming, and gladly picked us up when we arrived and brought us home. He even toured us around the neighborhood some to get a better feel of where we were. The home itself is basic, but it has everythin you should need. The wi-fi connection is not is not in every single corner of the space, but it wasn't an issue. The matresses were not super comfortable, but again, it was largely sufficient. If I had wanted I five star hotel, I would have gone for that. You will definitely enjoy your stay, both because of the home, and because of the excellent hosting of Sky.

à éviter

Sky à été très accueillant et agréable des notre arrivé. Très à l'écoute, serviable, au petit soin, vraiment bien.

What a great holiday and apartment in Mauritius. It's very secluded, quiet and relaxing.Sky could not have been more accommodating, so friendly and gave us all the local information (local supermarket, busses, attractions etc..) We were so very grateful that our travel arrangements were considered and we were offered flexibility with check-in and check-out times based on those plans. The apartment is large, comfortable and has everything we required for a family break. We would not hesitate to stay here again as we felt at home so quickly and would recommend this apartment to others. Thank you Sky

Thank you Sky for your warm welcome and for the night at your place. It was a real pleasure to meet you and your brother, you are very nice people. I recommended your place to everyone who is looking for a simple and authentic place. About the view from the terrace you will not be disappointed for sure, such a privilege. See you soon sky

This is the second time in a week that we stayed with Sky, and we used it as a place to stay overnight next to the airport. The trip between the airport and Mahebourg is very easy by bus, and the bus station is a five minute walk from the house. It's really a great location. The accommodations are simple, but largely sufficient for the type of traveling that we were doing. Sky is very easy to work with and he is always looking for the best way to accommodate you. Thanks Sky!

Sky et son frère nous ont très bien accueilli dans cette maison avec une vue magnifique sur la baie de Mahebourg. Nous avons passé un séjour génial. Je recommande à 100% !

Ritesh, his twin brother, and his whole family were open and welcoming during the three days we stayed. We benefited from Ritesh's knowledge of Mahebourg and the surrounding area (he took us to a few 'secret' favorite places of his), and he was incredibly generous with his time, offering us rides, maps, restaurant suggestions, even help arranging a car rental. He's finishing his study if tourism now, and is sure to be successful! The room was airy and comfortable, and the breakfast (bread, cheese, jam, fruits, etc) was plentiful. Thanks for a great introduction to Mauritius!

L'accoglienza è stata piacevole e gentile, la descrizione dell'alloggio si è rivelata veritiera e il quartiere era tranquillo e ben fornito.

Très bon hôte d'une bonne gentillesse! Je n'ai que de bons mots pour lui. L'endroit est propre et en bon état. Sa famille est très accueillante! Au plaisir de se revoir!

Ritesh a été très disponible, gentil et serviable. Le logement est correct et calme. Super petit déjeuner servi en terrasse. On recommande cet hébergement.

Ritesh et son frère jumeau sont extrêmement accueillants. Vous serez logés dans des chambres simples au dessus de leur maison. La famille très sympa saura vous recommander les coins à voir et les bons restaus.

It was really nice at your guesthouse. It was my First Trip to mauritius and he answerd all my questions I had before. My stay was good There. everything was clean. The breakfast he Made was good. I had a really good stay There. thank you :)

Endroit charmant avec magnifique lever de soleil ! Très bon accueil Très bon rapport qualité prix!

Hello Airbians, Do not miss this place if you wanna stay at Mahebourg. It is lovely and absolutely the same as shown in the pix.

We LOVED staying at this guesthouse. (Mahebourg in general was also amazing.) The room was great and the view of the ocean was spectacular. We chose to eat the meal one night cooked by one of the owners (not sure) and it was delicious. Her breakfasts were also filling and great. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and it was in a great spot. We took two different boats from Point Jerome and easily walked to both. The same kind woman got us a taxi to the airport. Definitely recommend!!!

We had a great time there. 4 km from Blue bay, it is easy to get there by bus or taxi.

It's very beautiful place, and we have swing outside of our room,the dinner is also very delicious.would like to come again

如果能做饭,就完美不过了!

Nice host, nice place, recommending

Cadre idéal, comme sur les photos, tel une carte carte postale, propriétaires adorables et à votre écoute, toujours prêts à vous conseiller. Prêt de tout, même à pieds.

Situation idéale près de la magnifique plage de blue bay. Proche de l aéroport. La maison est très spacieuse et la vue de la terrasse est splendide. Belle cerise sur le gâteau notre hôte est une telle gentillesse et disponibilité que l on recommande ce lieu sans hésitation.

Bhooprakash is the perfect host!! He really takes care of you and gives you all the right advices you need to fully appreciate the Island. The house is huge! Very confortable and just a stroll from one of the finest beach of the island. Going out in the morning carring just your towel and shoes is priceless! Anything you need you just can go back home in 1 minute and take it. We lived the very mauritian life here! Bus stop is at 1 minute walking as well and you can have nice mauritian food and fruits from the sellers just in front of the beach. Plenty of taxis waits you right on the back of the house wishing to drive you everywhere in the Island..What else to say? Everybody should reserve Bhooprakash house but, please, leave a week free for us, 'cause we'll come back for sure next year!!!

Nous avons passé un merveilleux sejour chez Bhooprakash. L'accueil très chaleureux et très bien organisé. Accueil à l'aéroport et arrêt au supermarché sur la route parfait. La maison est très spacieuse parfaite pour 8. La vue et l'accessibilité à la plage de Blue bay sont exeptionnelle. Notre hôte nous a également trouvé un moyen de transport pour 8 avec chauffeur nous avons ainsi pu profiter plainement de la diversité de l'île. Séjour fantastique à refaire avec plaisir. Merci pour tout Bhooprakash

We 6 persons had a lovely stay in Blue Bay at Mr Kawol's house.Before arrived,we communicated and asked some questions,Mr Kawol replied us within a few minutes and gave us very useful information and introduction.The best location if you like beach and swimming,just 30 seconds walk to the very beautful and very soft sands beach from the house.The beach also has nice place for walking at any time.Mr Kawol served free airport pick up.We recommand the house for family and group in this nice Blue Bay house.

Blue bay is a very good location nice calm bay.The house is spacious large room .The host collacted us from the (URL HIDDEN) us around the house. We had a very good stay.

If you wish to have a problem free vacation this is the right place to go.The house is situated few steps from a beautiful beach, which is perfect for smaller kids but the adults can get good swim there as well.It is also well connected by public transport to Maghebourg (the town with market, shops,..).We also enjoyed the trip to Ile des Aigrettes.And the (URL HIDDEN) was just unbelievable how wonderfully they care of us.Starting with pick up from the airport, taking us for first shopping to supermarket, arranging the car rental...and much more.The beginning of our Mautitius vacation could not be better and easier.

très belle maison spacieuse et idéalement située par rapport à la plage publique de Blue Bay. les hôtes sont d'une grande gentillesse.

Logement confortable et agréable.. .proche de l'aéroport (10min)...ideal pour les familles

Excellent value for money. A Mahebourg, close to the famous Blue Bay beach, ideal for snorkeling and a few kilometers from the airport. strategic position to visit the south, south-east of Mauritius. wonderful owners, very kind and helpful. Highly recommended.

I stayed one week and had an amazing time. The family hosted me in their spacious house like a family member. We had a lot of activities together. I can recommend this house to all traveller visiting Mahébourg and surroundings.

Vandana and her family were lovely hosts! My friends and I had a wonderful time staying in their spacious and lovely home. My only worry was that it was somewhat difficult to find at first, but Vandana did all that she could to help! In fact, they were always willing to help us in any way we needed. She and her family opened their home to us, our rooms were extremely comfortable, and we were truly welcome guests. I would highly recommend them to others!

Very warm welcome and people with a big heart who immediately integrate you into their family activities. This was great for us at the beginning of our trip to Mauritius as it allowed us to feel integrated immediately.

Great place with very friendly host

Duvah Pentiah's place is a beautiful place overlooking the water. It's well kept and organized. They were so welcoming and helpful showing us around and giving us good tips on the local food. Their hospitality was so heart warming and made my friend and I feel like home. We very much enjoyed staying at Duvah Pentiah's place!

Duvah et son épouse nous ont accueilli adorablement, dans leur appartement qui fait partie d'une maison qu'il est en train de remettre en état mais l'appartement en lui même est tout à fait habitable et agréable. Ils nous ont offert un rafraichissement, le frigidaire était rempli pour pouvoir se préparer un petit dejeuner copieux. Ils nous ont donné le nom d'une personne pouvant nous emmener en bateau à Blue bay ( à faire) et étaient vraiment ua petits soin. le lendemain, jour de notre départ, ils nous ont même déposé à l'aéroport! l'appartement est tout à fait dans le style indien, surtout part les couleurs des murs. les lits sont confortables, il y a des ventilateurs dans les pièces.

The staff were really helpful and thoughtful. Offering advise on where to eat and what to do in the area and made as much of and effort to make you feel at home as they could.

comfortable located, nice staff!

Nice place to stay, friendly helpful staff, clean. Round lots of restaurant with tasty, local food with reasonable price level. Great point to travel to other places of the island (bus terminal ) 5min of walk. Pointe d’Esny, Blue bay – beautiful, calm beach – 10 min with the bus. Recommended for travellers, specially backpakers.

Emplacement idéal à votre arrivée d'avion pour une nuit voir plusieurs et si vous allez dans le nord, passé votre dernière nuit, car l'hôtel est à 15 minutes de l'aéroport. En plus vous avez une vue magnifique face à la mer.

Nice calm place. Near is the small restaurant with tasty local food. Breakfast in a hotel was delicious beautiful views near the hotel. I recommend!

The Orient Guest House is an absolute delight. Set on the edge of the the very traditional Franco Mauritian town of Mahebourg at the south east corner of the Island, it is a well run guest house. The services include bedrooms with en-suites, and large balconies with the best ever views of the sunrise over the Indian Ocean. There is good wifi, and an excellent breakfast prepared and served at one's wishes. As well as being very well run, the Orient is a great low cost place for families as well as couples. There is a lot to do and see around Mahebourg. It is a short walk to the local bus station and very acceptable restaurants. We recommend visiting the Isle aux Aigrettes Nature Reserve, just offshore, and the National History Museum, on the west side of the town. The ocean off Mahebourg was the scene of the only naval battle in which Napoleon defeated the English, apparently because of the french local knowledge of the tricky currents and uncharted volcanic reefs just offshore. But shortly afterwards the situation was reversed, with the taking of Port Louis and the remainder of Mauritius by the English!

The guest house is near to the bus station. Everybody is very kind and helpfull, the room was clean. The wi-fi is in the common room at the top of the building, which has a big terrace with a view of the sea. Blue Bay is 10 minutes with bus.

Great service.

Maison extrement agréable dans un petit village qui l'est tout autant. La maison est spacieuse, confortable et propre et nous avons très bien été accueillis par Mano. Nous recommandons!

nous n'avons eu aucun probleme avec valérie pour la communication elle nous a toujours répondu très vite maison très bien située à Mahébourg près du centre ville commerces à côté, le marché important du lundi sinon quelques marchands y sont tous les jours vue de la maison et du jardin magnifique nous nous y sommes vraiment plus nous avons eu le plaisir de faire du canoé mis à disposition des locataires l'accueil de Mano à été très chaleureux nous garderons un très bon souvenir merci à toutes les deux

Le contact avec Valérie avant notre arrivée a été très sympathique. Nous n'avons pu la rencontrer, c'est sa tante Marie-Noëlle qui nous a reçu et qui s'est occupé de nous durant notre séjour (appel tous les jours pour savoir si ça allait, conseils pour entrer en contact avec les locaux, lieux à voir, où acheter au moins cher, bons restaurants...). L'hébergement était à la hauteur de nos espérances et nous avons vraiment regretté de le quitter, nous nous y sentions merveilleusement bien.... Merci encore à Valérie et Marie-Noëlle, cette dernière ayant pris sur son temps pour nous emmener le 1er jour dans sa voiture visiter la ville et faire nos 1ères courses au supermarché !!! Je recommande vivement !

The setting and the bungalow itself was perfect. We had a great time despite the bad weather - lots of rain and the water was a bit cold for swimming. Mano who met us at upon check-in was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely consider staying at the cottage again if we're ever back in Mahébourg.

Un séjour bien agréable dans une sympathique maison les pieds dans l'eau. Très bien placée dans Mahebourg, on peut accéder aux commerces à pied. La maison est bien équipée avec une magnifique vue sur la baie de Mahebourg. Avec la clim dans la chambre ça serait le paradis !! Merci Valérie, Marie Noëlle et Gyann pour votre accueil.

Some details of the bungalow were a little bit different than expected •no glass windows only shutters and metal bars •a bit of a hostel feeling based on the mixed furniture and dishes •quite a rustic touch but the location and overall equipment is great. Especially the kitchen, master bed- and bathroom are really pretty and comfortable. And the view of the bay is priceless. We also enjoyed being right by the center of Mahébourg (main street, public market and supermarket) and therefore close to local people and off the touristy areas. You can go snorkel right of the boat ramp and scuba dive at the dive center at the Preskil Beach Resort (5minutes by car with a bigger supermarket on the way). We had a car for the whole time (Royal Car Rental) to explore the whole island which can be parked on the property of the bungalow which is beautifully laid out with an old tree where fruit bats spend their night, various, local shrubs / flowers and one big coconut palm. We had a great time in Mauritius and in the bungalow and would fully recommend it.

I can say that my 8 nights stay was both amazing and difficult! The place is located few single steps from the ocean water, and the view from the doors and from the window of the bedroom is stunning and breathtaking, a real divine beauty with calming waves and birds sounds. The house itself is beautifully designed, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The woman in charge, Mrs. Marie-Noelle, (the owner’s aunt) is really amazing and lovely, and she really did for me more than expected with so much care and kindness. The other man in charge, Mr. Ghian and the uncle neighbor were also very kind and helpful. So why was it also difficult? Because I was not informed that there is a house in construction attached to the house in which I stayed. Every day (including Saturday and Sunday, the day off for the workers is Monday) there was banging, hammering, drilling and electric sawing. Juxtaposed with the serenity of the place – made it a nightmare. I complained and was compensated (I feel proportionally not enough). The people in charge, especially Marie-Noelle, sincerely did whatever they can to make me feel better. So as a bottom line, if this kind of things disturb you, check carefully with the owner what is the construction’s situation. Otherwise it is an amazing place, don’t miss a lifetime experience.

This little gem was just right for me and my family. It is just like Valerie described it. Perfect spot for couples or families. However be aware of the staircase it was a bit tricky for our 3year old, but she got the hang of it eventually but needed parents supervision. The proximity to shops, restaurants and the bus terminal was welcome surprise for us. It is what and how Valarie described it. Looking forward to another chance to stay at this place.

Chez Connie et Peary tout est fait pour que tout se passe bien. Idéalement placé, au bord du lagon, la maison est un havre de paix pour les vacances. Propres et calmes les chambres permetent un repos idéal. Les petits déjeuners sont bien garnis et frais. Nous recommandons cette adresse d'exception à Mahebourg.

Un endroit paradisiaque avec des hôtes à l' écoute. On ne se lasse pas du spectacle du matin les pêcheurs au pied de la terrasse. La maison est très grande et spacieuse. Seul bémol le wifi seulement aux parties communes. Nous espérons pouvoir revenir très vite pour revoir les propriétaires.

We had a lovely stay with Connie. She was always available and very helpful - she even helped us book a scooter in advance from a trusted place. I would recommend staying here for anyone looking for an authentic Mauritian travel experience.

Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in Mahebourg. Connie hat uns persönlich sehr freundlich empfangen und uns sehr gute Tipps für Restaurants und Schnorchelplätze gegeben. Eine sehr schön gelegene Unterkunft mit traumhafter Aussicht.

Sea fever was the perfect introduction to mauritius! The hosts are so kind and went out of their way to show us around Mahebourg so we could get the best out of our time there. The breakfasts are delicious, loved the room and the view! Wish we had booked a longer stay! Highly recommended!!

Un séjour formidable. Connie et Peary ont tout fait pour que nous passions des vacances agréables, et ils ont réussi. On se sent comme à la maison, ce qui est vraiment plaisant. La maison est impeccable, la vue est splendide, bien située (proche commerces, restaurants, gare routière). Le petit déjeuner est aussi un moment convivial. Tout a été vraiment parfait.

Nothing else to say but perfect! A beautiful place at the waterfront, facing the sea and, as described, a very beautiful lagoon. Connie and Peary were very kind and welcoming, always there for a little chat and helping out with some good tips and suggestions. We had a really good connection! Enjoyed the stay, the kayak-trip, the homemade banana-jam and the fresh coconuts! :) Thanks for everything! Absolutely recommended!

Malgré notre arrivée tardive Connie nous a accueillies très chaleureusement. Pearry et connie sont très disponibles. Ils nous ont aidé à planifier notre séjour et ont de réels bons plans (empruntez leur kayak pour une chouette balade). Nous sommes ravies de les avoir rencontré et d'avoir séjourné dans leur auberge. Nous vous la conseillons vivement !! Pauline et Léona

L’accueille , est la disponibilité et la gentillesse de Nathalie qui nous as reçu . La proximité des commerces , transport ect..comme l'as décrit Mary . La maison et sa propreté , spacieux , on se sent comme chez soit . Je peux que vous conseiller cette maison pour vos prochaines vacances à Maurice.

The home is ideally situated in a quiet suburb of Mahebourg. Only about 10 minute drive from the airport. There is a shopping complex with a grocery store and pharmacy within walking distance (1 block). The ocean is literally within walking distance (1,5 blocks). Blue Bay beach is only a 5 minute drive from the house (One of the best snorkeling beaches in Mauritius). The host's family who looks after the property are extremely friendly and make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. The host's communication is excellent and she is always ready to help where possible. Honestly I can recommend this accommodation to anyone wishing to visit Mauritius.

The house: as advertised, super clean, modern with security, loaded with all utilities and kitchen utensils, wifi, TV with cable channels. Solar water heating and electric heating for when the sun doesn't shine (which helped our family as our trip was during rainy days in May). All in all a home away from home. The host: Mary Ann is easily a Super Host for us. Keeping in touch and offering advice about everything Mauritius (she stays in UK). We were helped by her niece Nathalie and Mykael who are cheerful people and prompt to respond. The location: of the house is convenient; very near to a super market, public transport pick-up/drop is also there for Blue Bay (superb waters, your infinity swimming pool), Mahebourg waterfront is walkable and market, bus station nearby it. We highly recommend this house. Value for your money and you get reception from a warm host. Thank you Mary Ann, Nathalie and Mykael. :-)

Excellent place. The house is huge, but very homely. Very close to supermarket, coastal road and sea- you could see the sea from the terace. Highly recommended!

La maison de Mary est grande et belle. Cela a été un point de départ pour notre découverte de l ile. Tout proche de l aéroport, très pratique. Bien accueillies par Nathalie.

the owner is very nice and hard working. the room is really clean and the price is the cheapest nearby. you also have a good chicken and balcony.

Très bon séjour chez Nicholas qui est très accueillant et de bons conseils pour la visite de Maurice. Logement très propre, spacieux et agencé avec goût.

Super séjour chez Nicholas! C'est un hôte incroyable, attentionné et généreux. Tout est fait pour que notre séjour se déroule au mieux: la maison est propre, spatieuse et conforme à la description. Nicholas vous donnera de très bons conseils pendant votre voyage, de bonnes adresses et vous parlera à merveille de son île. On se sent accueilli comme un ami. Une belle rencontre! Je vous recommande vivement.

Nicholas not only did his best to make sure that we enoy our short transit but he helped us as much as he could when the immigration asked his confirmation of our stay. The appartment is lovely, neat and closed to the bus station. I would recommend Nicholas' place for everyone :)

Nicholas was a great host. Communication was really clear before the stay. Nicholas went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed in order to have an enjoyable stay in Mauritius. It was a shame that i only stayed 1 night.

I had a pleasant stay at Nicholas' neat and modern house. It is well located and all his advice was extremely valuable. This is real Airbnb. Highly recommended, I will be staying there again soon .

Nicholas was a super nice host with a very clean and neat house!

Nicholas was extremely helpful before and during the stay. He provided me with exact landmarks to help me find the location. Nicholas was very welcoming; he informed me about amenities like hot water, coffee, oats etc. that I could use according to my fancy. The place was very comfortable and cozy. Definitely great value for money.

If you want to learn about the real Mauritian life, this is the place to be. A lovely accommodation, in a lively neighbourhood and hosts that are kind and friendly to help you with everything. Our hosts arranged the glassboat in Blue Bay on local tarif and even took us for a boattrip with a boat of their own. We highly recommend this place!

Endroit vraiment pittoresque pour ceux qui veulent vivre en immersion dans la vie mauricienne ! Les propriétaires sont adorables ....

Very good accomodation for nice price.

Très bon séjour chez Mahmud qui a été très arrangeant.

Apparement propre est bien équipé pour y passer quelques jours ou pour attendre son vol proche aéroport . L'appartement était très propre, bien Equipe et tout proche de la mer Tres bien pour le prix Quartier moyen

Appartement rénové clair et très bien équipé. Vue sur la mer ce qui est tres agréable ! 5mn en bus de pointe d'Esny. La gare routière est proche. Une bouteille d'eau et un ananas nous attendaient au frais. Très bon accueil !

Nice.

The host canceled this reservation 96 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very kind people and great big appartement. It was very clean, place to park the car and nice vieuw on the sea from the terras.

Le séjour dans l'appartement de Mahmud s'est parfaitement bien déroulé. Mahmoud a été très réactif pour les réponses à nos questions et très très arrangeant! Il s'est arrangé pour qu'une personne nous récupère au bus et nous conduise à domicile. De l'eau fraîche et du jus de fruit nous attendaient dans le frigo. L'appartement est très propre et pratique avec tout le nécessaire sur place. Il est très bien situé. Ce fut un plaisir de séjourner chez lui. Un grand merci!
