Bicycle rentals are available directly from the owners at a competitive price of 100 SCR per day.

Reviews
The hosts have taken care of every detail of the house, and you feel very comfortable here.
The rooms are clean, with a refrigerator, a comfortable bed, and excellent air conditioning. Each room has a private bathroom and hot water.
Guests have access to a fully equipped, professionally cleaned, and spacious kitchen and a veranda. The garden is full of delicious orange trees.
It was suitable for us for one night on the island.
Pros:
Location: 10 minutes from the port
Breakfast: Quite filling.
Staff: Special thanks to Julia! She was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, allowing us to leave our bags after check-out and even take a shower before leaving.
Amenities: There's a shared kitchen where you can cook.
Cons:
Booking discrepancies: The voucher indicated a different address, which caused initial confusion.
Furnishings: Very basic, without any extra amenities.
Utilities: No Wi-Fi in the rooms.
Shower: The water isn't very hot.
Kitchen: Basicly equipped. We were missing salt, pepper, and oil. Some of the mugs were chipped.
Verdict: If, like us, you just need a place to stay near the port without any special comfort requirements, this option is suitable. Julia's kindness brightens the otherwise austere atmosphere. However, for longer stays or if you value comfort and consistent amenities, it's better to consider other options.
Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos; I'm attaching one that shows the bathroom.
Upon check-in, the owner pulled a tub of juice from the refrigerator and poured it out for me. He was very welcoming, and I could have unlimited coffee.
The breakfast was also excellent, with a large slab of butter to cut, cheese, milk, coffee, juice, and toast.
The hotel is very close to the La Digue pier, a 10-minute walk away, making it very convenient for boat trips.
There are several reasonably priced small supermarkets between the pier and the hotel, making it convenient for grocery shopping.
The hotel is also close to Anse Source d'Argent, ranked as the world's number one beach by National Geographic, and lives up to its reputation. The boss's family is located on the south side of the pier (turn right a few dozen meters after exiting the pier). It is the largest bicycle rental point on the island. You can rent a bicycle for a day for 100 rupees and ride to Grand Anse, one of the three beaches. It is then an 8-minute walk to Petite Anse.
The boat fishing trip was perfect.
the crew 2 nice locals who had fun and loved their job
The classic fishing tour whiuld have killed my vacation Budget but Bel Petra had a good solution made a win/win .
I also really loved the grill experience, the barracuda was yummy :-).
Ps: the two guys offered me to bring home my coach but i just gave it them because I lived in a hotel .
