Perfection!
This review is long overdue and that is in part due to the fact that after leaving this place, you’ll have a hard time accepting it. It’s just that lovely!
My boyfriend and I spent a little over 2 months in Mauritius and while our original booking with Trish and Kev was only for a week, we ending up booking our entire stay with them. So we were lucky enough to stay in a number of their apartments, all of which are perfect for any length of stay.
To start, their property is easily in the best area of the island. It’s a safe and quiet residential community. After much exploration and hearing the opinions of other guests, We wouldn’t suggest staying far from Le Morne beach. You’re a short drive to the most beautiful beaches of the island as well as a fully stocked grocery store. I will say that a car is a must though, as you’ll undoubtedly want to explore the rest of the island. Luckily you can rent a car from Trish and Kev!
The apartment is simple, but lovely. Tastefully decorated with natural tones, there’s more than enough space for two. You’ve got a large closet with a safe to hold your valuables, a bathroom much larger than typical American bathrooms, and AC should you choose. We opted for the sea breeze, sleeping with our patio doors open every night. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook yourself. If you can’t find something, just ask! Or if you prefer to eat out, there are a number of restaurants worth visiting close by. The cleaning ladies do a wonderful job of keeping the place spotless. No matter which apartment you’re in, you have a lovely private terrace for breath taking views of the sunset. For the sunrise, be sure to head up to the roof deck one morning for a full view. Dinner up there is lovely as well.
Internet was a priority since we work remote. We had a few hiccups, which were addressed immediately so we were able to work without interruption. Before leaving, the town north of here was getting fiber optic cable, so surely it will be available here soon.
As for activities outside of the apartment, Trish and Kev are a wonderful resource, happy to help research and book any type of excursion, from a private beach dinner to swimming with dolphins.
I can’t recommend this place enough! You’ll be extremely pleased with yourself. Trish and Kev made our stay wonderful by not only being wonderful and thorough hosts, but lovely people. We hope to visit our friends again soon!
