Hanneman Holiday Residence

We had a fabulous stay at Hannemans. Excellent location, excellent apartment and excellent owner & staff. Huge apartment with everything we could possibly need and more that we hadn't even though of. Nothing too much trouble and even homemade pancakes dropped to us. All areas really clean and well thought out. Manfred and Santale always on hand to assist in anyway. Will definitely return to Hanneman's for our next holiday to Seychelles.

Vilket hotell ett av det bästa jag bott på! Personalen tog verkligen hand om en. Kan värmt rekommendera fett fantastiska hotellet

Manfred is a kind and gracious host. The 2 bedroom duplex is huge, with a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer/dryer, 2 showers, and anything else you might need. A short walk to the beach. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic resort 5 minutes walk from Beau Vallon. Extremely spacious rooms, friendly staff and a nice pool. Ample parking for cars. We were able to check-in a couple of hours before with no issues. Location is fantastic. I highly recommend this place

Jag blev uppgraderad och fick en stor lägenhet med två sovrum och flera badrum trots att jag reste solo. Frukosten är riktigt bra med gott kaffe, generöst med färsk frukt och avokado, toast, pålägg, ägg och pannkakor. AC var bra och effektiv men det fanns endast AC i sovrummen på ovanvåningen- ingen på nedanvåningen. Sängen var mycket skön - mer åt det mjuka hållet. Duschen hade bra tryck och gott om varmt vatten. Det är väldigt tyst och jag sov gott. Stranden ligger knappt 10 min bort och det finns busshållplats i närheten. Trevlig och bra service. Det enda som kunde varit lite bättre är poolen - vattnet var lite grumsigt.

We were very well taken care of by Mannfred and his friendly staff. Actually outstanding service every single day! Our room was very well equipped and the pool was so nice. Wonderful plants and flowers everywhere. The beach was only a very short walk away and many restaurants nearby We would love to come back someday soon!

Manfred, the owner, is very serviceminded and makes sure that you are taken care of. Good location - short distance to the beach. Beautiful pool and garden. We would love to go back!

My friend and I had the most wonderful time at Hanneman residence. Manfred welcomed us with open arms and couldn’t do enough for us. The accommodation was fantastic. Spacious and comfortable. All staff were great. We couldnt have wished for better service. Thank Manfred and crew xxx

The staff were fantastically friendly, and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They kindly provided a larger room than I had booked, and also complementary fruit and pancakes (plus a welcome bottle of wine, as a repeat visitor). They also kindly gave me a lift to a supermarket on my first day. An easy 5 min walk from Beau Vallon beach, and local shops. It was good to stay with a property certified under the Sustainable Seychelles program, and hear all about their efforts to be 'green'.

We've been back now for a couple of months, and, although very busy, I've had it in mind that I should give this hotel a (very positive) review! We stayed here twice during our trip to the Seychelles , for a few days each side of our cruise, and it was a great choice! A small 'boutique' environment and a haven of peace! The accommodation was very nice and also spacious with fridge, cooking and laundry facilities. The pool was nice, quiet, clean and pleasant and, again, very tranquil and relaxing. Breakfast was great, very flexible with timings and staff pleasant and helpful. A nice beach was only a short walk away, as were a few restaurants (a good Indian restaurant, moderately priced for the Seychelles was a favourite), and also a very useful mini-market for beers, snacks & food provisions when 'eating in'. Manfred, the manager, was around every day and happy to make recommendations and give useful advice (he spoke perfect English!), also just generally chat about life in the Seychelles! We would definitely stay there again if we came back to the Seychelles.

Great location - 5 minutes to beach and 5 minutes to shops.

I have now been at Hanneman Holiday Residence fifteen times now. I stay here because it is very friendly, has great accommodation, a nice clean pool, and all in all is a great place to stay roll on May 2024.

The destination of Seychelles for many people will be that out-of-reach, far too expensive, paradise destination that can only be achieved as a once-in-a-lifetime experience such as a Honeymoon or anniversary present. Yet, by staying at Hanneman Holiday Residence, it doesn't have to be, as this property is probably Seychelles' best-kept secret and its most economical. Hanneman's location is ideally placed on the island. Just a short and easy 5-minute walk to one of the finest and most famous beaches in the entire Indian Ocean, Beau Vallon Beach. It is no problem that Hanneman's doesn't serve dinner or lunch, as there are dozens of some of Mahe's best eateries and takeaways just a walk away. But even then, if you fancy a night in your villa, they arrange a delicious local food delivery service on request. You can even cook your own barbeque! Breakfasts are optional but recommended as the chef cooks up a great start to the day and can make most things you ask for, from a fully cooked plate to delicious pancakes. The villas themselves are first-class for the tropics. We were a party of 5 (2 adults, 2 teenagers, and a 6 yr old) and had so much space in the duplex. The air conditioning and fans maintained the coolness needed and with a huge kitchen, open plan dining room and living room, three balconies, and two en suite bedrooms we never got in each other's way. I would recommend that you rent a car (again can be arranged through Hanneman's) and you can park securely right outside of your room. The pool is a good size and despite the residence being full at Easter time when we stayed, we were the only people in it for most of the time - it seemed like our own private pool. And that's the essence of Hanneman's, although there are a couple of penthouses and studios and four duplex's - the place is never crowded. The security is impeccable, with 24-hour security personnel (David and Joe are the night watchmen) and electronic keys to come in and out of the properties at all times. But although the facilities are more than one could ask for, it is the people (and kittens and turtles - more on that at the end) that make a place special. Hanneman's is run by the most affable, personable, friendly, and humourous guy you can imagine. Manfred, a former hotel manager himself, is on hand to offer advice or help with anything his guests need, whether it's administration enquiries or extra water for the room. It is well worth sitting down with him for a coffee or a glass of wine to listen to his stories of Seychelles and his experiences in life. He is backed up by Santale, who runs the property like clockwork in the relaxed manner that most guests would like on holiday. Add to them, their team of housekeepers who make the rooms immaculate each day, and their fantastic Chef make Hanneman's #1 in Mahe. A last word to the four-legged friends who add more personality to the place. At the time of writing, a group of friendly kittens lounge around and only approach guests who approach them. If like us, you feed them, prepare to have these curious kittens visit you at mealtimes waiting outside your door for food and cuddles. And last of all, are the family of turtles, all named after the staff at the Residence, who you can feed and watch in their pen when lounging by the pool or having breakfast. Hanneman's is your home from home in the Seychelles - and somewhere where you will be treated like royalty, without paying a royal price!

Some staff were very friendly. The 2 bedrooms penthouse was huge and nicely decorated. Nice swiming pool. But place not too adapted for people having walking difficulties. Not enough light on the road to the seaside at night

ATTENTION les avis sur Google ne reflètent pas du tout la réalité. Nous n'avions jamais vu un logement aussi sale (voir photos) , humide, sombre et mal odorant. Les draps aussi étaient dégoûtants, j'ai dû aller demander des draps propres pour refaire le lit moi-même ! J'ai payé 180€ la nuit pour ce logement, c'est inadmissible ! Seul point positif le propriétaire est gentil, mais ça ne suffit pas. Notre taxi nous a dit que plusieurs clients avaient fait le même constat.

We were really surprise after reading all the positive reviews to arrive in a appartement like that. It was old There was almost no light, only one window with a big useless furniture in front of it There was a lot of humidity with a terrible smell ABSOLUTELY NOT CLEAN ! (See the pictures) - the floor was covered with hair and dust, won't even talk about the corners - there was mold in the bathroom - the furniture and counters were filthy (I should have take the cleaning paper I used in picture 🤢) - all the equipment like microwave and toaster were probably never cleaned - there were dirty spots, hairs and one dead bug in the sheet 🤢 Owner adorable, good location, spacious appartement but clearly that all this place has, everything else is terrible, especially for 180€ /night ! We are glad we booked only one night, it was our last, what a last impression of the Seychelles...

The only thing good about the property is that it’s spacious! The bad part is the endless amounts of ants in the restroom and I’m not sure if it was a roach or just some bug…the AC worked but blew out a weird smell the entire time we ran it…guy was nice upon check in but kinda sketchy and there were SO MANY CATS walking around!

The one thing that trumps anything else about the Hanneman is the staff. Chantelle and Manfred made our stay awesome! Thank you so much. They were super friendly and helpful, with little touches like giving us pancakes or bananas after diving or letting us stay by the pool as we had a late flight. Our room was fairly basic, but they do have some amazing suites also. Walking distance to the beach is a major bonus!

It was our 4th time at Hanneman, and again we were not disappointed. Wonderful spacious self-catering in a hidden and secure area, 5 minutes walking to the beach. Again welcomed by Manfred and Santale who run this place already for ages. The place is really cheap for what you get, some 140m2 I suppose, main area and 2 detached bed rooms. They do also great breakfast at reasonable prices. In case you need anything, they support you, reserve tables at restaurants (e.g. highly recommended Perle Noire) or organise a rental car for some rupees. We will be back again, for sure!

Wonderful Large multi-room residence with beautiful views and an awesome location. The Hosts were exceptional and the amenities were terrific. I would definitely stay here again!

Stayed with my family for a month, kid friendly an amazing environment. Loved the cats. The owner always making sure you are okay, the security guy took his job very seriously well done. Felt safe. The lady at the reception and the cleaning ladies all did a super job. Parking space. 5* Would highly recommend.

The apartment, pool, service and general ambiance were all very good, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The only minor criticism I would have of our particular apartment was that it was quite dark as it only had a window at one end, exacerbated by the dark finish kitchen cupboard doors and relatively low wattage lighting. I believe other apartments also had a side window which would have made them brighter. However this did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay.

Everything was in excellent condition. The apartments were well furnished and equipped and very comfortable. The owner was very friendly and fun.

I loved everything about it. Great location, accommodating staff, delicious breakfast and excellent service. I will stay there again. There is good air conditioning in the upstairs area, but the only thing I would recommend is for there to be another a/c unit for the downstairs area, though the weather in Maha is near perfect, it can get a bit warm in the lower living area, but don't let this sway you away. Great value for the price. They even got me a rental car and had it delivered to my front door. All I had to do was ask. Wonderful stay -- August 2018

Basic apartment within walking distance from the beach. Friendly and helpful staff. Air conditioner in the living room would be great for comfort.

Beautiful, immaculate town home apt. The apt. was perfect. Beautifuly furnished with high end appliances. Great location, less than 5 minute walk to the beach and restaurant. Secured free parking and wifi. Very helpful host.

Stayed here for 3-nights on a business trip with a colleague. Rooms were beautifully maintained, clean and have everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay. The location is a 5 minute walk to Beau Vallon beach with restaurant options nearby (note that when walking in the area there isn't really a side walk so families should keep that in mind). The breakfast was completely fine and served promptly each day by the pool. Laundry facility in the room was great. Staff was friendly and assisted with any enquiries we had. The hotel across the road has a gym/spa if you want to use it for a charge each day. I would stay here any time. It's about a 15 minute drive into the core of Victoria and it gives you the option of easily exploring the Northern part of the island and then quickly getting to the south as well.

very good experience for being 1st time on that island

Reading other reviewers on what a marvelous experience I was a bit sceptical. However Manfried and Chantelle have restored my faith! When we were too tired to eat breakfast at the designated area they brought it into the apartment for us. When we needed a cab or car hire they were always ready to get us one. When I needed to print tickets and boarding passes , Manfried let me use his facilities at no extra cost. Our flight was leaving late and night and checkout too early? Chantelle and Manfried to the rescue again letting us stay much later than nevessary. I could go on and on. Beautiful apartment, beautiful scenery, a pool almost all to ourselves and truly warm and wonderful hosts that were always eager to please. what more do you want?, Thank you guys for restoring my faith in the human race!

I had a great stay at Hanneman. I was travelling on my own and they madd me feel so welcomed. Appartments are very nicely decorated, have a neutral fresh decor and are super clean. Great value.

We had a nice stay. The residence is less than 10 mns walk from the beach and from nice restaurants along the main road.The breakfast is very good and healthy (variety of fruits included). Chantal and Manfred are very kind and ready to help.

Clean, modern and high quality accommodation with very friendly, helpful staff. Great property for people who want to fully self cater their holiday, with full size well equip kitchen, but also great location for places to eat out. Nice pool restaurant area at the property.
