The Green Shack

Die Unterkunft ist mit ihrer etwas abgelegenen Lage sehr für Naturliebende oder für Leute, die eine Pause vom Stadttrubel suchen, geeignet. Die Hütte und der Platz davor haben eine wunderbare Aussicht auf Meer und Berge, zusätzlich ist in der Hütte alles für einen gemütlichen Abend vorhanden. Zusätzlich kann man in der Umgebung schön wandern und die Natur genießen. Das selbstgekochte mauretanische Essen, welches jeden Abend auf die Hütte geliefert wurde, war ebenfalls sehr gut! Der Inhaber ist sehr freundlich, authentisch und hilfsbereit, wir haben uns durchgehend wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen!

Great view with a fantastic host. Would come back.

Being surrounded by nature!

We had such a beautiful stay at this cottage, exactly the kind of peaceful escape we were hoping for. Surrounded by nature, the setting is incredibly calm and grounding, with stunning views that make you want to slow down and just take it all in. The camping experience was fantastic. well-organized, comfortable, and still close enough to nature to feel like a true getaway. Waking up to fresh air and quiet mornings was a highlight. The staff truly made the experience even better. Warm, attentive, and always ready to help, they created a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. And the food was delicious ☺️

While the stay had many lovely aspects, there were a few areas that could be improved. The cottage itself could have felt a bit cozier and more comfortable. Additionally, the bathroom had a leaking issue, which was a bit inconvenient during the stay. With some attention to these details, the overall experience could be even better.

We enjoyed the beautiful chalet with its stunning views, and the host, Sebastiaan, is fantastic, friendly, helpful, and full of tips. He really does everything he can to make his guests feel at home! The breakfast was great!

We missed having breakfast with other guests at a central location, but this is being worked on and will likely be possible next time.

I had a wonderful stay at The Green Shack. Sebastien is an exceptional host - warm, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The authentic Mauritian cuisine is absolutely delicious, a true delight! The setting is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for disconnecting and recharging. I highly recommend it

Too bad it was raining on our stay, we couldn’t enjoy the property as we wished.

Vi gillade verkligen stället, supergod frukost och middagen på kvällen var toppen. Naturen och utsikten är superfin! Välkomnande ställe!

Vi tyckte det var lite för varmt (ingen luftkonditionering) med bara en fläkt så vi sov lite dåligt i och med värmen. Men vi visste om att det inte fanns luftkonditionering, trodde vi skulle sova bättre än vi gjorde. Men det blev för varmt för oss

Everything was great Thank you Sébastien !

Nothing

Delicious food - local, tasty and unique. Amazing place Sebastian is developing. Perfect for a quiet retreat.

Loud music from the village nearby.

Lage und Gastgeber sehr gut.

Man würde sich eine Klima wünschen, aber passt nicht ins Konzept. Ein Fliegennetz um das Bett wäre auch schön.

The view, the energy, the surroundings : an escape from the hectic, busy modern life. The food was excellent and delivered fresh right to your door. The warm welcome from Sébastien truly makes you feel at home ; an experience out of this world. And the sunrise is simply a must.

Though I have to admit, the bed was a little too hard 😅

Wow! You want to escape the crowds, see some real forest and enjoy a bit of bat watching? This is the place. Sebastian is a great host. We parked down below and he drove us up in the 4x4. We had local food and met the locals on our walk up and down to the shack (about 20 minutes walk).

One of the best views the greatest place to disconnect from reality

Lack of activity

Die Lage war ein absoluter Traum! Wer Ruhe, Natur und traumhafte Sonnenaufgänge sucht ist hier genau richtig. Sebastien ist ein toller Gastgeber. Er hat uns mit seinem Auto hochgefahren. Das Frühstück und Abendessen wird von den Damen im Dorf zubereitet und von Sebastien bis vor die Haustür gebracht. Wer das Essen nicht dazu bucht verpasst etwas. Sogar auf Extrawünsche (in unserem Fall vegan) sind sie eingegangen. Tolles Projekt, lohnt sich zu unterstützen.

Nichts, wir werden wieder kommen.

Logement exceptionnel, hors du temps, une cabane isolée dans la nature avec tous les équipements nécessaires. Parfait pour déconnecter. Notre hôte, était aux petits soins et porte un projet exceptionnel. Nous reviendrons sans faute redécouvrir cet endroit. Les repas ( dîner et petit déjeuner) sont copieux et délicieux, préparés dans le village en bas en circuit court. Vue et lever de soleil magnifique, activités de randonnée possible à proximité !

Sébastien was very welcoming and we had a good time with him discussing Mauritian cuisine and culture. We recommend staying at Green Shack to nature lovers and we enjoyed our stay there. The view from the mountain was stunning and food was very good. We wish Sébastien all the best for the future!

The view is amazing from the top of the mountain. The staff is so nice, the food was wonderful and we had such a quiet and peaceful time there. They have a beautiful mission driven eco lodge and cannot wait to go back.

Nothing. The roads are challenging to get there but they are working on upgrading the tracks and they offer to come pick up people that don't have the ability to do off-road driving.

The cabin was fairly comfortable, it was peaceful and the view was stunning. The local country food and presentation was typical of the place my wife and I loved. The food was brought up by our host Sebastien. He was always welcoming and ready to make our stay better. Although the cabin concept has not got the frills of a hotel but it has the charm of old time peaceful Mauritian living. We highly recommend it.

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing Sebastien!!!!

This is a soul place in the middle of nature. Peace, silence and such a beautiful energy. Sebastian is putting his heart in this place. I felt very welcomed and home here. I'm truly grateful I had the chance to enjoy this place and I will come back.

The host Sebastien is very kind and welcoming - even bringing us an extra fan as our little one struggled with the heat. Dinner was delicious - a traditional Mauritian meal (several dishes) served in a tiffin that was very filling. Breakfast was wonderful - so many different things such as omelettes/pancakes/fresh fruits delivered by Sebastien himself. The best thing is the peacefulness and the 11/10 breathtaking view. No picture can capture such a view all the way to the sea. A few games are available, bug repellant etc. We love that the place uses solar power and rainwater. Sebastian’s vision for this place in the future is very special and we look forward to one day return again.

A little too hot for our toddler. Would recommend a mosquito net for a more comfortable sleep.

Awesome viewpoint. Seb was a great host. Went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable.

We went in peak summer. So was a bit too hot, given that there was no AC or fan. However, Seb went above and beyond to get us a battery powered fan.

The view of the location was mesmerizing

Just a little bit too hot

I liked the location, because it is very quiet in the nature. You look down to the village and you can even see the bay, bit the Shack is in the nature, like on a little farm, and yet you feel really sage there. You see stars, see and hear animals. It is a little bit up in the mountain, so cool enough at night even without a fan/ ventilator. Sebastien, the owner is really nice and helpful and relaxed. Not the right village, if you look for restaurant or bars.

So far there was no electricity to charge your phone etc. There is no fridge or place to cook. But Sebastien will provide you with hot water for coffee or tea and powerbanks to charge your phone (which works well) to make your stay as convenient as possible for you.

the location was absolutely stunning. Seb really did everything to make our stay as great as possible.

the facilities were very basic, so it was a bit pricey in relation to the facilities that we had.

The breakfast was absolutely impeccable; combined with that gorgeous view and the warmth of the cabin, comfort and contentment went hand in hand. I also loved how clean everything was. The bedsheets were fresh and not a speck of dirt on the floor, which sometimes you would expect with places in the mountains. But not this one, so pleasantly surprised by the good maintenance. The host is absolutely welcoming and friendly as well. We actually booked the place to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and the host, Sebastien, had someone make a homemade birthday cake as a gift to us. We could not have asked for a more welcoming gesture. 🙏Thank you, Greenshack! We look forward to more bookings with you.

As a suggestion for improvement, maybe include some more tools to lit a fire. It was hard trying to start a camp fire with limited tools. Reso maybe? Wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a camp fire and failed miserably. 😂

Gorgeous views away from the crowds up in the hills overlooking the sea and forests. Sebastian was incredibly helpful both before we arrived and afterwards. Also helped take us on a lovely hike to the local stunning waterfall. Included a lovely breakfast and you could also order dinner on top.

Was worried as we needed him to give us lifts (unless you have a 4 by 4) to the shack. It's a 10min walk from where you park but because it rained and I was pregnant we weren't confident to do it. However he was so open and generous with his time and availability it wasn't a problem. He is planning to make the road more accessible in the next year anyway.

Stunning sea views and very peaceful. The host is very welcoming and kind. Great food!!

Beautiful location and views; owner Sebastien was very friendly. Amazing food.

I was awestruck by the postcard-perfect scenery. My whole family was in awe of the place. Even though there was not much to do, we basked in the beauty of nature; we loved the quietness, went for some trekking and spent some quality time with the family. I loved the ecological concept also...we felt reconnected with nature and it was above all a rejuvenating experience.

Nothing that I can complain of!

Beautiful view, great food, great patio, good bed and shower

Nothing

We loved our time up in the mountain, away from daily hustles, and despite the rainy weather our staycation turned out way better than we planned. Sebastian, our wonderful host, was very welcoming and did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I would like to come again once he has his farm project up and running; the idea of picking my own veggies fresh from the farm to cook meals in the outdoor kitchen is something I really look forward to. This time we were pampered by having a hot continental breakfast delivered right at our doorstep by the ever smiling Sebastian. Though we all wished hard for the skies to clear just to have a glimpse of that amazing sunrise, it was not meant to be. Hope we have better luck next time.

Need to rebook on a sunny weekend

Peaceful environment nature and wake up with the bird singing and the sunrise.

You are cut off from the routine. No WiFi, no TV....only family time ... Beautiful view from the cottage... very nice place... 👌
