Artists house

The hosts make you feel so welcome in their home but at the same time you have your own space and privacy - the perfect mix! So much great advice - we loved the family and the location - we will definitely return

Super Gastgeber!! Danke für die tolle Zeit. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

I loved everything about it - the location, amazing hosts, lovely house (big and with character)... Diane and Stephane are so welcoming and warm, and super helpful in emergencies ☺️

The location was great, the host family was amazing, really welcoming - the best host family we've ever had. I definitely will come back to Artist house next time ❤️

It is a homestay in a quiet neighbourhood. Supermarket nearby. Also beach in walking distance. And some restaurants. Hosts were very welcoming. Easy to checkin and check out. Would recommend and would visit again.

Wir können diese Unterkunft voll und ganz empfehlen. Die Besitzer sind so außergewöhnlich nett und hilfsbereit, es herrscht so eine positive Atmosphäre in diesem Haus, dass man sich sofort wohlfühlt. Unser Zimmer war groß und hatte einen schönen Balkon mit Blick auf den Pool. Toll war auch das Angebot, gefiltertes Wasser zu bekommen. Die Unterkunft ist großartig und warmherzig für einen tollen Preis. Ganz lieben Dank Diane und Stephane!

Beim Badezimmer muss man ein paar Abstriche machen, wir sind aber gut damit klargekommen.

Die beste Unterkunft, die ich auf Mauritius hatte. Eine so herzliche und offene Familie. Ich konnte mit Ihnen essen, Stephane fuhr mich zum Nationalpark am Morgen und ich sie halfen mir bei Fragen immer aus. 3-4min zu Fuß zum Strand, also besser geht es nicht! Nur weiterzuempfehlen.

le calme, équipements de la chambre très bien.

piscine pas propre et vétuste, douche vieillissante, jardin non entretenu et bazar qui traîne un peu partout.

La gentillesse et la bienveillance des hôtes . L’emplacement proche de la mer, une très belle maison, chambre confortable avec terrasse .

La salle de bain n’était pas dans la chambre mais au fond du couloir. Par contre elle était très grande et que pour nous .

Grande chambre très confortable avec une belle terrasse. L'emplacement est idéal et les propriétaires adorables.

Et simpelthen fantastisk værtspar, utrolig gæstfri, imødekommende og utrolig hjælpsomme. Vi nød poolen og de hyggelige omgivelser. Fik ofte besøg af deres hund Fluffy, en rigtig dejlig velopdragen hund. Vi vender helt sikkert tilbage hvis vi kommer til Mauritius igen. Vores varmeste anbefaling

Alt OK

Toute la famille fait tout pour vous faire plaisir La chambre est spacieuse La terrasse est super agréable pour prendre son petit déjeuner L accueil de Stéphane et Diane vous mets à l aise

Rien

L’accueil des propriétaires qui étaient très aimables

La propreté de la salle de bains Piscine non nettoyée pendant 4 jours avec le tuyau dans l’eau Chambre vieillissante avec toiles d’araignées Aurait besoin d’un vrai rafraîchissement

Очень дружелюбные хозяева и персонал. Встретили, повезли показали ближайшие магазины и пекарню. Номера большие, кровать большая и удобная, постельное белье белое, чистое и приятное к телу. Полотенца чистые и хорошо впитывают влагу. На втором этаже у каждого номера большой балкон со столиком и стульями, на первом терасса с выходом в бассейн. В номере чайник, холодильник, микроволновая печь посуда и средства от комаров. Рядом есть кафе, магазины. До пляжа, 10 минут пешком.

Tout était parfait du début à la fin, de l'accueil de nos hôtes et les nombreuses recommandations de leur part à un logement irréprochable et très agréable, proche de tout. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Merci beaucoup et au plaisir

Rien tout était parfait.

- Lit de très grande taille - Accès à la cuisine des propriétaires pour pouvoir cuisiner

- Piscine pas propre - Cuisine très encombrée

Diane & Stephane waren die perfekten Gastgeber! Hatte eine wunderbare Zeit bei ihnen und hab mich wie Zuhause gefühlt! Alles sehr sauber und die Mitbenutzung von Küche, Wohnzimmer und Pool im Garten war sehr angenehm. Möchte unbedingt wiederkommen !

Tout était parfait : les hôtes leur maison l espace le calme la propreté l emplacement.

Rien. Vraiment un séjour idéal une ambiance bienveillante et paisible.

Deze villa is uitstekend om als basis te dienen om wat meer van bijv. het binnenland van Mauritius te bezoeken. Er liggen een paar uitstekende restaurants op loopafstand en zo ook een bakkerij waar je prima kunt ontbijten. Alle informatie ligt keurig op de kamer. Voor de liefhebber: langs het strand wandelen naar Flic & Flac en vanaf daar met de bus terug. Eventueel nog wat winkelen in Cascavelle waar je moet overstappen.

Niets. Het gaat er allemaal heel relaxed en hartelijk aan toe. Oh ja, de kikkers in de omgeving kunnen met een concert met vele pauzes aan het feesten gaan maar als je de deur sluit wen je daar ook wel aan.

Bardzo przyjemny nocleg! Lokalizacja idealna, pieszo można dojść do restauracji na śniadania, do supermarketu, bankomatu. Blisko do szlaków trekkingowych. Dużo miejsca, żeby zaparkować wynajęty samochód. Właściciele bardzo mili i pomocni (zapraszamy do Polski!). Codziennie witał nas i żegnał sympatyczny piesek Fluffy. Wyposażona kuchnia, czajnik elektryczny, kuchenka mikrofalowa, lodówka. W domu jest pralka z której można korzystać. Mieliśmy taras, gdzie można było wywiesić ciuchy do wyschnięcia. Jest tam wszystko, co potrzebne na wakacjach!

Great location, easy access to supermarket and beach and bus route. Great hosts, friendly, helpful and very accommodating. Comfy bed.

Liked everything but the one thing missing was sun loungers for chilling on terrace.

The room was great, close enough to a small beach and close to a mall. Not much touristy stuff within walking distance but close by actitivities within a short driving (10-15 mins) distance

There was daily cleaning done as we had seen other properties. Room glassware and cutlery ware had to be cleaned by us when required. It didn’t feel like home stay.

Très bonne situation géographique. Proche d'une grande surface. Stéphane et Diane sont adorables et nous informent sur les activités a faire sur le secteur.

Pas de prise électrique dans la salle de bain.

J’ai adoré la chambre, son aménagement et sa propreté, la localisation et l’accueil des hôtes.

S’il faut dire quelque chose, comme on vit dans la maison des hôtes, peut être un peu manque d’intimité et parfois un peu bruyant (mais on est censé s’attendre à cela quand on réserve donc pas un vrai problème en soit)

Hôtes super accueillants et sympathiques. Literie au top, chambre spacieuse avec une partie de la terrasse privatisée. Piscine et table de ping-pong dispo. Accès à la cuisine libre. Supermarché et bons restaurants à proximité. Un rapport qualité prix excellent Merci à Stéphanie et Diane

Bel emplacement tout proche de la plage la preneuse et du Morne Superbe terrasse Chambre chez l habitant Propriétaire sympathique

We stayed at the Artists house for almost a week. The house is located in a perfect position. It’s close to a big supermarket, bar and restaurants and also to a beautiful beach were we saw amazing sunsets. The room is very big and comfortable and was very clean. One of the best thing was meeting Diana, Stephane and Ruben. They are a wonderful family and they help us with everything we needed! We talked a lot and I really hope we can meet again in the future! I totally recommend this place!

Amazing hosts, spacious and clean room with a huge balcony, large bed, small fridge in the room. They have a waterfilter! You can use the entire house with kitchen, pool, room for Yoga. Very well equipped supermarket at 5min walk, beach same distance at the other side. Great coffee place nearby, good restaurants…

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful house in Mauritius. It was peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to unwind. But what made our stay truly special were the hosts, Stephane and Diane. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us with warmth and kindness, always ready to help and make us feel at home. Their care and attention to detail made us feel less like guests and more like family. We also absolutely loved their adorable dog, Fluffy, and their lovely son, Ruben, who brought even more joy to our experience.

La amabilidad de los anfitriones, y lo espaciosa que era la habitación, el baño y la terraza. Teníamos cerca restaurantes, tiendas y un supermercado.

Todo estuvo bien.

Отличное расположение!Хозяева дружелюбные приятные люди!

Wonderful hosts, super clean, a place where we could rest :)

We stayed in the Artists House for the second time already. We absolutely love it, everyone is beyond friendly and helpful and we just felt at home immediately. The Location is perfect - quiet but close to the beach and restaurants, perfectly located to reach destinations north and south. We got amazing recommendations for both foodtours and massages - even in house was possible. We wholeheartedly recommend!

The hosts were exceptionally welcoming, it was like being received into a family. At the same time the room and terrace space was private. Easy walking to beach, supermarket and restaurants

Diane and Stephane are wonderful! They are friendly and communicative. We had an amazing time with them, and overall, the atmosphere was really warm. The room is large, and the house is well-equipped!

The hosts are a very friendly couple with a cute son, making you feel at home!

Insanely nice hosts, Stephane treated us to some fancy mauritian fruits, clean rooms, pool, quiet at night, clean tap water and you can ask them just about anything especially when it comes to plan trips and activities around the islands

That i couldn't stay longer

- very nice family, they make feel you welcome and homely - nice villa and room with balcony, cosy and quiet - refreshing pool under palm trees - close to a big supermarket, nice restaurants and to the beach

The hosts are very kind, they helped with useful tips. The beach is 5 minutes walk, the shop is also 5-10 minutes away. I'd recommend renting a car, otherwise it's difficult to explore the island. The room was perfect, big, with comfortable bed, nice terrace and a small kitchen area.

No such thing

We recently had the pleasure of staying in a household accommodation at Diane  Artist House home, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment We arrived, We felt like part of the family. The hospitality was exceptional, with the hosts going above and beyond to make use feel comfortable and cared for. The home was spotless and beautifully maintained, with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Our room was spacious and well-equipped. The shared spaces, like the kitchen or living room, were equally inviting and provided a great opportunity to connect with the hosts and other guests. One of the highlights of our stay was the homemade dinner as we were in a Christmas period . Diane and her husband prepared delicious dinner  and it was such a treat to sit down and share a meal together. They also provided great tips on exploring the area .The location was ideal—situated in a peaceful neighborhood but still close to local beaches , transport, restaurants and shops. It was the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. If you’re looking for an authentic, heartwarming experience, I can’t recommend Diane’s home enough. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s a place where you truly feel at home. We’d love to return someday! Thank you.

Diane and Stephan were excellent hosts making us most welcome and providing help and information. The room was spacious and we appreciated the access to their kitchen, the washing machine and brilliant water filter and ice. The location was great; a short walk to supermarket, several restaurants and a lovely beach.

The bedroom door was hard to close quietly.

The family host is the best! The house has such a cozy and familiar energy that you understand when you get to meet them. They are so nice and welcoming that make you feel home. The areas of the house are great, clean and comfy.

We loved it all that much that we extended our stay.

Started our Mauritius holiday in the west,Tamarin/Black River, and have made a very good decision about our first “home” during the trip. It truely felt like home as we got part of Diane’s & Stephan’s (the hosts) family for our day’s staying there. Their house/garden/pool is lovely and we could use all facilities together with them, like the fantastic kitchen, living room, washing machine and so on. The Artist House is lying very close to several nice restaurants, very close to a huge supermarket London Way and the local beach is in 5 minute walking distance. A rented car will allow to visit the local attractions more easy, but the bus station is so near and using bus always worked fine. Stephan is a Chef and we cooked a tuna that we brought from fishing absolutely brilliant. We can fully recommend this place.

No

Comfortable and owner is nice

Booking

The owners are really welcoming and helpful. It is well situated for travelers wanting to explore the island. As a solo female traveler it was perfect since it did feel like a safe environment to go through and from. This booking is also well suited for families since it has 2 rooms.

Diane and Stephane are absolutely lovely hosts. It is such a homely place and you feel at comfortable and welcome from the moment you step in through the door. The room was very spacious, there is a little fridge and kettle in the room and coffee/tea, the facilities are great, it is clean. Diane and Stephane were always available for lovely chats and great recommendations. We felt so comfortable there and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a home away from home.

Everything was perfect!

Diane, Stephane, Ruben (and buddy Elias) and the absolutely cutest dog Fluffy made my stay at their home truly a home away from home. The location is great; very central, the room perfect, their hospitality second to none. I can absolutely recommend staying here and hope to stay with them again.

Nothing not to like.

The hosts were really friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for swimming, hiking in the National Park and enjoying the sunsets.

It is very close to the beach, which has stunning sunshine. Diana is too nice to welcome us and allow me to take a shower after check out hour when I was soaked in sea water. Stephane even gave us a ride to the beach very early in the morning. I recommend Artists House to everyone!

No

Large room. Great balcony. Quiet.

The house is full of nice artistic details. My room was decorated with beautiful paintings and the bed was very comfortable. I really enjoyed the balcony and the pool. But best of all is the family who welcomed me into their house and made me feel like I was at home. The hosts were very attentive, offering me a coconut while I was in the pool, or sharing a dinner with the family.

Very peaceful and amazing hosts.

Thank you Diane and Stephan for the good vibes and the unique homely atmosphere

The location was perfect, walking distance to the beach and to a grocery store as well as good restaurants. The hosts Diane and Stefan were so friendly and welcoming. Our room was perfect size with ample cupboard space and a microwave in the room which was perfect for traveling with a toddler and early morning bottle. We loved everything about our stay at Artist House and will definitely be back.

Nothing

Everything was wonderful, we enjoyed it. A very friendly family. We miss. The place is close to everything - the beach (with tree shade), bus, shop, hairdresser :-).

Room was well equipped - milk in fridge, coffee & tea, sugar, glasses & cups & utensils, on tray on cabinet, plates & bowls on cabinet shelves, purified water from special machine in kitchen, Bed was elegant & comfortable, linen was very nice, and furniture (wardrobes & dresser) were elegant & very adequate 2) balcony & garden/pool view 3) flat screened tv with Netflix opposite bed installed by host - was installed to brighten a rainy day! 4) closeness to beach & Supermarket, bus stops, 5) style of the villa 6) Christmas decorations 7) quiet 8) friendliness & attention of the hosts Stephane & Diane and their young son Ruben, & their pet dog Fluffy! 9) paintings by Maryse Hardy, mother of Stephane! & good artistic atmosphere (opportunity to enrich one’s musical culture- i was able to get a ticket to a hristmss Concert thanks to the hostess Diane who teaches music and is a professional singer) & Very relaxing cultural conversations about Mauritius with gourmet & artistic Chef Stephane! 10) good neighbourhood, good environment

Nothing

The house is ideally located, close to bus stations, the beach and nice restaurants/coffee places. It is also located in a very calm street and it feels like a real home.

The pool was a real bonus, especially when travelling with a small child.

We only spent 3 nights at the artists house but we felt like being at home. Wonderful owners, beautiful house. Highly recommended for everyone!

It was easy to find and located 5 minutes’ walk from the beach. It’s within half-an-hour’s drive of the world heritage site, Le Morne, and there is an endless list of great things to do in and around Riviere Noire. Artist’s House is a beautiful home with a swimming pool and a very friendly dog, Fluffy. The Hardy’s are a warm & welcoming family keen to open up their home to their guests. One night Stephane, a very capable chef, made a lovely Mauritian dinner and invited some of the guests - it was a special treat, not something to be expected or taken for granted. My last night at Artist’s House, I went out to dinner with the hosts at a local restaurant and enjoyed the company. Diane is a talented & accomplished theatre producer and drama teacher trailblazing English theatre in Mauritius. As a solo traveler, I really enjoy meeting new people and staying at Artist’s House is a great way to get to know the amazing hosts and some of the other guests who pass through.

Honestly, I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like. I shared this with the hosts already, but a bigger dustbin in the room for a longer stay would be good.

Great hosts, very clean, walkable to the beach. Would recommend a stay here. Big terrasse. A shopping center in walkable distance too.

The location was a bit unclear for us at the start I wish the whole address would be displayed here on booking.com. The pool could be cleaner it was quite greenish. The bathroom should have a shower curtain as you wet the whole room showering.

Hospitality & generosity

Nothing

Great location! Near to supermarket, beaches, bar and restaurants, pretty much everything you need. Stephane and Diane are very friendly and super helpful to help us arrange anything we could ask for. Highly recommended!

Nothing

I loved everything about this place: close to the beach, close to the supermarket, bus station is in 3 min walk. Hosts was extremely helpful and friendly, property was looking even better that it looks at the pictures. Very clean villa, I felt like I was staying in a classy boutique hotel. My terrace was the best. Just amazing, I would recommend this place to everyone!

Nice big room with terrace and private bathroom with window. Sharing facilities in the house like kitchen, pool, and living room, and people to deal with if you want. Cute Fluffy dog 💕 and very welcoming owners. Good emplacement for visiting the South and West (car necessary). A few shops and restaurants at walking distance.

Bed was a little hard for us, maybe it's a matter of habit.

It was nice, cozy, homely and super clean.

Tamarin is a cental place on the West Coast from where you can visit LeMorne, go hiking in the pristine Black River Gorge and enjoy boat trips. We loved the warm hospitality of the Hardy family in their lovely home. Diane was quick to respond and flexible with the check-in. Luxurious linen. Milk in fridge and muesli provided. Good value for money. We would highly recommend Artist House!

No comments.

The property is just wonderful and the hosts are sweet, I had requested an early checkin and based on availability they provided me an early check in, house is beautiful and rooms are spacious with lovely bed and all the amenities that you need for a comfortable stay, Diane and Stephen both are so welcoming that it felt at home and yes I forgot to mention Fluffy (the healing dog) my wife who is so afraid of dogs was playing with her. Location is very apt with Londay Way Super market just 2 minutes away and Black river is walkable. There is a wonderful kitchen which u can use to prepare quick bites etc and the house rules are not very strict as well. Want to out a note that the property is a non smoking one but you can alway stroll outside the gate and have a smoke. Overall I would like to say that I walked in as a guest but created memories staying there. Thankyou so much Diane and Stephen for making our stay a memorable one.

it was exceptionally clean and well maintained. the hosts have created an incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere, with great attention to detail and quality finishes.
