Further details
We can provide you with a Chauffeur driven car and guide for the length of your stay at a cost of around £53.00 a day - for 6 people (back by 6.00pm)He can be booked on a daily or weekly basis and will take you anywhere you would want to go, be it the world famous unique 7 coloured earth at Chamarel, The Black River Gorges in the Mountains,The Northern and Southern Beaches of Mauritius, the dormant Volcanoes and Craters, beautiful Waterfalls, swimming with dolphins, golf, big game fishing,or if you just want to go shopping ( good designer factory shops)! Ravi is a discreet and informative guide and a safe and steady driver so you can roam the island, without fear of getting lost or paying for parking etc. Car hire can be arranged from the house whilst you are there so no need to pre book.
The fourth bedroom with an equally spectacular views is on the second floor and accessed by a very steep staircase. This fourth room is therefore unsuitable from very young, elderly or infirm guests.
The telephone only receives incoming calls unless you request the call bar to be lifted. The two single beds are in a ground floor bedroom and this room does not have of a view. This ground floor room is ideal for children as it is next door to the bathroom but would have to be regarded as the short straw as the other three rooms are all nicer.
Smoking on the verandah would be OK but please never indoors. Cigarette damage to our beach house will not be taken lightly whereas other accidents are usually accepted as natural wear and tear For more details on what to do in Mauritius go to Trip advisor
Further details indoors

White tiled floors, loos and good strong showers up & downstairs. Kitchen and living room with breathtaking ocean views and plenty of seating. Shaded veranda with armchairs and huge cushions where you can snooze and read in the heat of the day or enjoy a pedicure or other in-house beauty treatments with a G&T.

Further details outdoors
The house is accessed through a private security electric gate, which is manned 24hours a day and it benefits day and night from a conscientious security team of friendly English speaking Mauritians.

It contains a private outdoor covered dining area seating 8 +, a huge and decadent linen covered day bed and 6 sun beds. Sanjay the gardener brings supplies, keeps the garden watered and maintained and takes away your rubbish daily. There is a huge pool with paddling, shallow and deep area. This is shared but as the other houses are mostly private and often only used once or twice a year by their rather privileged owners you will often have this area to yourself. There is a BBQ, outdoor shower and your own parking right outside.. Step onto the beach for all imaginable watersports including kite surfing, diving, snorkelling & sailing.

“Fantastic!!!”
We had a wonderful week at Louise's beautiful home. It was right on the beach with stunning views. I loved the room at the very top of the house, such a great addition. The beach is beautiful. W… More

“Idyllic location”
The house couldn’t be any nearer the beach so if it’s location you are after then this is it! It’s in an enviable position right on the beach with its shared, very large, superb swimming pool. When we were there if there were 3 people in the pool then it was busy, but we mostly had it to ourselves! The beach is gorgeous with clear water and white sand. You do, however need beach shoes to go in the water as the small pieces of coral are hard on the feet. Sadly we were only there for a short stay but if we had stayed longer then there is lots to do. Either hire a car or get Ravi, a very helpful taxi driver to take you anywhere you’d like to go, even to the supermarket. Ravi’s wife, if asked, will cook you a delicious curry at a very reasonable cost. Ouma is the daily help and she is delightful and very helpful. Sanjay works at the complex and kindly delivers bread every day.All in all we had a wonderful, relaxing few days, soaking up the sun, lounging on the day bed and enjoying the beach and it’s bars. The house itself was fairly basic and not luxury by any means but as a holiday home it is absolutely fine. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 on the first floor but be aware that the 3rd bedroom is in the loft area accessed by steep stairs. There are two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, each with it’s own shower. Louise, the owner was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. She sent us a very comprehensive document with everything you could possibly need to know to have an enjoyable holiday.
