We had an amazing stay in Alison’s apartment No 1. Communication with her before the trip and during our stay was so easy. The apartment has everything you need and is equipped with washing machine, stove, fridge etc. Everything is in good condition and we felt very comfortable. Especially the staff (e.g. Vanessa) is so lovely. We had daily service which we didn’t expect. The team went every extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible. 100% recommendation.

We enjoyed every moment of staying here! The view from the balcony is amazing! Thank you Alison and Vanessa for everything! Hope we’ll come back here someday. Greetings from Lithuania🇱🇹🇸🇨 ❤️❤️❤️

The apartment is spacious and modern, with beautiful natural light, and dual aspect windows in all the rooms. It is fantastically appointed and clean, which makes for a happy holiday, because everything I need is here. The rooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans, to help keep cool. The building-wide terrace, with dining table and hanging chair, is a great feature. The additional roof terrace with panoramic views is sublime. I can relax, or work remotely, in the open air, like a true Seychelloise. The hostess Alison is very helpful, and can organise car hire, or excursions upon request. Her local knowledge, generosity and warm personality is a highlight of my stay. Thank you for an unforgettable holiday!

We stayed here in October and honestly loved it. From the moment we arrived, Allison made us feel so welcome. She greeted us with cold towels (amazing after the trip!) and we even found water, juice, and fresh flowers waiting in the apartment — such a sweet touch. At first, we had the first-floor apartment, but after two days Allison offered to move us upstairs when it became free. Totally worth it! The place was spacious, super clean, and the balcony had an incredible ocean view. The rooftop view was even better, especially at sunset. There were so many thoughtful details — like a power adapter in the room (we’d forgotten ours!). And the hospitality didn’t stop there. Allison took us on a boat trip with great food and drinks. Even though it rained a bit, it was still such a fun day. The housekeeping team was lovely too. One day they surprised us with a homemade mango-chilli salad (so good!) and when one of us got a bad sunburn, they brought fresh aloe vera to help. Those little gestures meant a lot. They even cooked for us a few times with ingredients we had — completely unexpected and so kind. We really felt at home here. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay special. Would absolutely come back next time we’re in the area! Warm geetings from Lujza, Anke and Steffen

We were a group of three friends spending our two week vacation at this lovely place on Mahe. The host and everyone involved were super friendly and welcoming - felt like home. They were always happy to help out. The apartment is spacious and has all you need (even adapters for electronic devices). All in all, we were super happy with everything. Highly recommended!

Very nice apartment, which will be your great base. Towels, soap and shower gel (not much) are available in the facility. You can also ask for beach towels downstairs. Parking is available, and entering by car is not difficult. The apartments have balconies, where you can spend a nice evening with a beautiful view of the ocean.

The rooms are spacious, very clean and well equipped (plenty of wardrobe space, a kitchen with all appliances and a wash machine). Towels are exchanged daily. Every evening, we were returning to a top notch clean space. Finding our clothes washed and dried went beyond any expectations! However, the real value is provided by the owner and the staff. They warmly welcomed us and from the first day we felt more like members of their family than just some random guests. Also, the proximity to the beaches is very good (Anse Major or Beau Vallon). There is a fairly priced restaurant next door. A grocery and a street food is no more than 5mins away from the villa by foot.

From the moment I arrived, I felt a warm welcome and genuine hospitality.

The home is a true haven - impeccably maintained, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed. The full glass windows not only provide an abundance of natural light but also offer breathtaking sea views that are absolutely mesmerizing.

Alison(Host) went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their cooperative nature and attention to detail made the experience truly exceptional.

If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with a perfect blend of comfort and stunning scenery, this is the place to be.
