Posizione fantastica
Nous avons passé deux nuits dans cet endroit parfait pour nous. L’accueil était excellent et la propreté irréprochable. Nous étions très proches de certaines des plus belles plages de Mahé, et ce petit balcon au cœur de la jungle fait vraiment son effet. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et nous recommandons vivement cet endroit !
Everything was great! The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and the environment is welcoming and well-kept. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. Overall, we had a really pleasant experience and would definitely recommend it!
J’ai tout adorer déjà à l’arrivée la gentille de la madame, sa délicatesse et sa gentillesse
J’ai tout adorer donc rien à signaler pour ce booking
Das Haus ist mit allen möglichen ausgestattet von Adapter bis Bügeleisen. Die Küche ist sehr großzügig. Die Terrasse für die Abende einfach wunderbar. Überrascht hat mich, dass es auch ein Zimmerservice gibt was bei Selbstversorgung nicht wirklich üblich ist. Die Ausstattung ist natürlich in die Jahre gekommen, aber dafür sehr sauber gehalten was für mich persönlich wichtiger ist .Ich werde noch mal kommen.
The location and the house is beautiful. You feel like you are at your own home.
Everything was perfect.
Gorgeous little spot- I could spend all day on the porch. It was well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfortable, quiet, and safe.
It’s not something I didn’t like, it’s just that I really recommend renting a car if you stay here. I was being quoted over $50 usd each way for a ride into Victoria to get the ferry to Praslin. Turns out there are some very affordable car rentals if you do a little searching and it came out being much cheaper than depending on taxis.
Die Lage zwischen den Bäumen war sehr schön, man hatte so ein bisschen Dschungelfeeling. Es gab einen kostenlosen Wasserautomaten und die Terrasse mit der gemütlichen Bank und dem kleinen Frühstückstisch war sehr schön. Die Ausstattung war größtenteils ausreichend.
Die Straße vor dem Bungalow ist relativ stark befahren und durch die Steigung sind die häufigen Motorengeräusche besonders laut. Die Küche war überall klebrig und nicht wirklich sauber. Die einzelne Herdplatte ging nur volle und halbe Leistung. Die Waschmaschine war außer Funktion. Einige Küchenschranktüren hingen in den Angeln. Viele Laminatplatten standen an den Ecken hoch, so dass man sich die Zehen dran gestoßen hat. Insgesamt bedarf die Küche einer gründlichen Reinigung und Teile der Einrichtung eine Überholung.
The owner is super nice! Very friendly and helpful. The property is perfectly equipped, nothing was missing. The terrace has a stunning view. I definitely recommend it.
We liked everything
Nested in hillside jungle. Beautiful.
None.
It was fairly close on foot to 3 beaches I wanted to visit (Petite Anse, Anse Soleil and Anse Lazaire) There were a few supermarkets close by The villa itself was spacious, clean and view to the garden, I was able to see the fruit bats at sunset and even some geckos. A lot of nature surrounding the villa, so to be expected some unwanted visitors if you leave a window or door slightly opened for too long 😅 But I loved the quietness even being near the main road. The hosts were honestly so nice and welcoming.
Nothing stood out to me
An oasis of peace and beauty that you never want to leave. This place absolutely charmed me. As soon as you arrive, you can feel an incredibly wonderful energy and tranquility. The accommodation was spotless – brilliantly clean, beautifully scented, and decorated with great taste. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
After long flight it was perfect place to stay and recover, everything inportant was nearby, we were sitting on the balcony to the midnight, no public lights, only stars between palmas, beautifull.
All, amazing place with a lovely host. Great location.
Nothing.
En pleine nature
Die Lage mitten im „Dschungel“, ein direkter Parkplatz vor der Tür und die Wohnung beinhaltete alles, was man benötigt.

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt. Die Terrasse war super schön. Uns hat der Verkehr von der Straße nicht gestört.
Úžasná lokalita v krásné přírodě - klid a pohoda. Hlavně na prostorné terase. Čistota ubytování i venku před barákem. Pravidelné úklidy. Upřímní a milí a usměvaví lidé ,moc jsme si pobyt užili. Přejeme Anne-Lies a jejímu muži hodně zdraví. Děkujeme
Das Häuschen bot für 2 Personen ausreichend Platz .Der Balkon war groß und schützte vor fremden Blicken.Nadya,war sehr freundlich und hat sich um uns gekümmert,danke dafür.
Im Haus gab es die Matratze die einem Folterinstrument nahe kam . Die angrenzende Straße ist am Tage sehr laut und stark befahren .Nachts ruhig .
Wspaniała willa wśród tropikalnej zieleni. Na przeciwko przystanek autobusowy. W odległości niedalekiego spaceru dwie cudowne plaże. Willa wyposażona jest w kuchenkę, czajnik elektryczny, mikrofalówkę, ekspres do kawy, toster, lodówkę, pralkę. Dostępne naczynia, Salon z częścią wypoczynkową, duży taras, przestronna sypialnia z łazienką . W sypialni klimatyzacja. Przesympatyczni i gościnni właściciele. Cudowne miejsce i świetna bazą wypadową do zwiedzania wyspy autobusem lub autem . Polecam to miejsce.
Wszystko było ok
Owners were very nice and great location on the hill surrounded by forest.
The closest beach suitable for swimming is quite far away so a car is very handy
La struttura ha de gran potenziale ma è mal tenuta. Molto bello il contesto nella natura anche se poi si trova proprio sulla strada principale, un bel po’ rumorosa
Mobilio vecchio, stoviglie e pento lame non utilizzabile, sporco e molto vetusto. Pavimento traballante e spesso con piastrelle rialzate su cui potevi farti male.
We had a great stay here, very nice & comfortable house surrounded by lush green nature. Everything is provided to feel like at home, the balcony is wonderful & Anne Lise and her husband welcomed us very warmly. We also liked that the place is very private, the property rents 2 houses for guests and the location could not be better, you can find all you need close by. Thanks for all❤️
Calme, propre et confortable

Eine traumhaft schöne Unterkunft mitten in der Natur 🏞 mit Flughunde und 🦎 Vögel die singen Dschungel feeling und trotzdem zentral. Ich habe mich total wohl gefühlt. Check in ohne Probleme viele Informationen beim Check in .Wasser Anlage vor Ort total schönes Appartement. Die Terrasse ein absoluter Traum mit Blick in den Dschungel. Die Terrasse ist riesig groß mit wunderschönen Möbeln. Für mich 10 Sterne 🤩 🚍 Haltestelle Bor der Tür. Umgebung super Schön. Die Fotos geben es genau so wider ein echter Traum.
The small cabin was in the middle of the jungle which made our stay quite unique and fun. We also had a washing machine which was a big plus.
If you have a car, then it's okay. Otherwise, quite a challenge.
Milá hostitelka, čisté a moderní, okolo příroda, parking přímo u vchodu do ubytka
Celkem daleko do Victorie, klimatizace pouze v ložnici.
The appartment is perfect, feels like really jungle and has everything little you need. It's enjoyable you don't have to buy 1kilo of salt and sugar, that 2 scoops of detergent etc. That it is already there... The houseowner is very nice.
Our stay unfortunately could only be 1 night, because of the healthy condition of my man.
Nos gustó todo. Ubicado en mitad de la naturaleza. Estuvimos muy tranquilos en la villa. Casita perfectamente equipada con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días. Familia muy amable y servicial. Muy atentos en todo momento. Nos facilitaron una barbacoa portátil. Pasamos la Nochebuena ahí y Anne Lise, la propietaria tuvo el detalle de dejarnos unos regalitos de Navidad.
Nos gustó todo la verdad, lo único malo la cama que era muy blanda y nos gusta el colchón más duro. Pero nada más, un 10 de lugar!!!!!
It was a beautiful villa with a great balcony and complete kitchen. Loved how it is surrounded by nature.
Nothing.
Very nice hidden, cozy location surrounded by nature. The beast beaches of the Island are very close to the location of the villa. The hosts were very nice and helpful as well.:) I can strongly recommend this place to visit.
No things to be mentioned
Die Herzlichkeit und die Gastfreundlichkeit der Gastgeber. Es war vom ersten Augenblick an der perfekte Urlaub,dass beste was mir passieren konnte und der Traumurlaub meines Lebens. Liebe Anne-Liese und lieber Chares … Vielen Dank für Alles!!!
Besser geht nicht … besser wie jedes Hotel. Einfach nur perfekt!!!
Une grande terrasse très agréable avec vue sur la végétation luxuriante. Accueil très sympathique. Logement vaste et très propre. On a apprécié la bonbonne d eau fraîche à disposition.
It was nice, owners are nice and helpful. We liked the south more than north so I can only recommend it.
Accueil sympathique. Très joli logement, spacieux. Belle terrasse. Bonbonne d'eau très appréciable.
Petit hic. La proximité avec la route très passante.
Great location, nice and quiet part of Mahe, good value for money
It would have been nice if my request for sugar would have been granted :-)
Das Hillside Retreat liegt mitten im Grünen – ein echtes Dschungelerlebnis. Die Geräuschkulisse aus Vogelrufen und Blätterrauschen hat für eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre gesorgt. Unser Haus war bestens ausgestattet, sehr sauber und mit allem versehen, was man braucht. Man fühlte sich sofort wohl. Auch die Gastgeberin war ausgesprochen freundlich, der Empfang herzlich, die Kommunikation unkompliziert und vertrauensvoll. Insgesamt ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt inmitten der Natur, den wir sofort wiederholen würden.
Das Bett war leider etwas unbequem. Der Verkehr auf der nahegelegenen Straße war auf der Terrasse deutlich zu hören.
Schönes Häuschen, nette Gastgeberin. Sie hat uns sehr geholfen ein Mietauto zu finden. Es hat alles was es braucht.
Keine Beleuchtung den Berg rauf zum Bungalow. Wir hatten wegen Wasserknappheut kein Wassee, nur 2 Stunden pro Tag.
L'emplacement au milieu des arbres, l'espace, la terrasse très agréable avec un canapé, la salle de bain impeccable, l'appareil pour réfrigérer l'eau, l'accueil très sympathique.
Le manque d'un micro-ondes.
Výhľad z terasy. Vybavenie kuchyne. Ubytovanie uprostred prírody. Dobrá dostupnosť do obchodu a aj k moru.
The cottage looks very nice and the view is nice from the terrace and from the bedroom. Is very big for a couple and we had everything that we needed. Very close to some good take aways and stores and to the most beautiful beaches from the island: Intendance, Soleil and Takamaka. The host is very friendly and so helpful
There are moments during the night when you can hear the cars on the street because the cottage is not so deep inside the jungle. Although the kitchen is very much equipped, maybe it should have been more tea cups or some oil for cooking or a better coffee
Un luogo veramente magico, immerso nel verde e vicino ad alcune delle spiagge più belle di Mahe. L'alloggio è spazioso, pulito e dotato di tutto; abbiamo trascorso 3 giorni veramente piacevoli.
Hillside Retreat is well positioned with a good range of amenities. It was quiet place to stay when we we there. Having a washing machine with an eco short cycle was great.
The parking area is very small and tight to turn around in, fortunately while we there the second cabin didn't utilize the space, but it would be a negotiation to be able to turn around if it was. The main issue we had was that someone downstairs in the owners property smoked and this came up onto the the balcony, we had to move inside on a couple of occasions and couldn't enjoy the deck which is a feature of the property.
L emplacement en mode forêt est absolument magnifique Le logement est hyper spacieux, tres confortable, tres propre. Vous trouverez tout ce dont vous avez besoin meme l eau est a votre disposition. Belle terrasse d où vous entendrez le chant des oiseaux le matin et présence de ces trop belles chauves souris c est magique ! La propriétaire est adorable, elle vous accueille avec un jus de fruits frais et elle vous donne de bons conseils pour les visites. Alors oui il y a la route en contrebas mais qui ne dérange en rien car une fois la baie vitrée fermée on n entend plus rien ensuite oui il faut 1 voiture pour se rendre à la plage mais quand on réserve un logement c est ce qu on regarde en 1er lieux , l emplacement... et une merveilleuse plage se trouve a 7 min en voiture donc l emplacement pour moi est idéal ! Juste 1 petit conseil pour les futurs voyageurs, si vous avez de la nourriture comme des biscuits fermez bien le paquet et placez le dans un sac hermétique... vous etes en forêt n oubliez pas lol
Absolument rien
Eine tolle Unterkunft mit einer super netten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeberin. Wir fühlten uns sofort wohl und wie zu Hause! Es wurde an alles gedacht, selbst auf der Terrasse mit einem unglaublich tollen Sofa stand Mückenschutz. Da wir ein Auto hatten war alles sehr unkompliziert zu erreichen. Es liegt zwar direkt an der Hauptstraße, trotzdem merkt man den Verkehr kaum. Es war ein sehr tolles Erlebnis!!
Nichts negatives zu berichten!
Cette belle cabane tout confort et très bien entretenue est perchée au milieu des palmiers. Les oiseaux et les chauve-souris sont un spectacle quotidien qui font oublier les quelques bruits de la route en journée. Proche des plus belles plages de Mahé, cet hébergement a complété agréablement la carte postale des Seychelles. Merci encore à Anne Lise pour son accueil , sa gentillesse et de nous proposer ce bel endroit. Allez y les yeux fermés.
Gewoon alles! De bungalow was zeer mooi, netjes, alles beschikbaar wat je maar nodig kan hebben. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaars. Voortreffelijke service!
Gewoon NIETS!!!
Very friendly Staff. Good communication. House is welle equipped, spacious, has a big windows surrounded by green plants. Beautifull beaches 35min walking distance. Close to shops and bus stop.
The view from the balcony is not that spectacular as it seems.
Lovely setting with views of trees and other vegetation. Balcony was perfect place to eat and relax.
Le fait d’être dans une bulle de verdure au calme Les hôtes sont très arrangeant sur les horaires d’arrivée et de départ .
Perfect stay in a beautiful chalet with everything. Friendly reception
It's a perfectly equipped, cozy apartman (nice furnitures, kitchen, etc) surrounded by the forrest. The highlight is the balcony with a big bed where you can watch the forrest with the fruit bats. Definitely recommended.

Endroit magnifique, accueil parfait … en pleine nature avec toutes les commodités nécessaires … je conseille vivement !
Quiet, very secluded location in the forest
Noise from the road
Très bon accueil (avec un jus de fruit bien frais c’est agréable après une très chaude journée) nous avons échangé en anglais puis en français, en se rendant compte que la propriétaire était bilingue ! Nous avons passé deux nuits, idéalement placé pour nos visites et pas loin de take away pour nos repas ! Le logement en lui même est très sympa, confortable et climatisé.
Great place!! We loved the balcony - it's like sitting in the trees! Along with flying dogs and green geckos. :-) Definitely one of my favourites traveling the Seychelles. + great value for money! Thanks a lot!!
Parking directly at the entrance, the balcony with a very beautiful view, you are in nature. Friendly and polite staff
The kitchen cannot be used directly, the cutlery and dishes are not clean. The balcony door cannot be locked or closed well, it can be opened from outside by someone or stronger wind breeze.
We loved the jungle there, it was really a retreat for us, the host very charming and lovely, if we came back to Mahé, we will choose this cottage, thank you:)
The light was very low in the room
Insgesamt ein schlüssiges Konzept von Annelise. Sie hat vorgesorgt für Strandausflüge mit Matte und Handtücher und Plastik Trinkgefäße, Trinkwasser gibt es kostenlos, Küche hervorragend ausgestattet, wir haben frischen Fisch gemacht, WLAN super, Betten bequem, immer wieder neue Handtücher, eigene Terrasse, Stellplatz für Auto,TV, alles was das Urlaubsherz begehrt
The host of the property is very humble and nice lady.
Amazing stay in the peaceful place for the vacation as well as for the remote work. Annalise was attentive and helped us with our questions, coocked us the most delicious fish in a garlic souce as well as chicken in curry. Cleaning was done perfectly with attention to each detail and towels changing. The villa was cozy with a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed, an air conditioner, and a big terrace with a beautiful view. The location was perfect. It's around 10 minutes' drive to the Petite Anse Beach - one of the most beautiful in the island - we started almost each morning there (we were almost alone in the beach at this time). Another beautiful beach Baie Lazare just 5 minutes drive. To the famous Copolia Trail is about 40 minutes by car. The minumarket is in 10 minutes walk. In the nearby village you can taste delicious seychells street food. The best pizza on the island is in Dzayapizza, and you can make an order with a delivery to the apartment. We had a great stay in the Annalise's villa and defenetly recommend this place.
Good location next to some amazing beaches. The accommodation was super clean, bed very comfy and the host was very nice.
I loved my apartment, especially the balcony. Anne-Lise is a great host, couldn’t have wished for anything more. Thank you!
Jungle environment. Verandah in jungle Welcome.
A little walk/drive to the beach. Steep driveway, not room to turnaround when 2 cars there.
Suiteble accommodation for a single person
Not near the beach.
Beautiful property with jungle views. Very clean and nice. Also very quiet.
Location is not the best, but if you rent a car you can get anywhere on the island pretty quickly.
Un piccolo oasi di pace con tutte le comodità. Siamo stati come a casa.
It was excellent! The location, the Villa, the host. I’d totally recommend for anyone visiting Seychelles to stay there.
It is a lovely place. Very comfortable. All you need and close to beautiful beaches.
Nothing..
friendly hostess, cleanliness, comfortable bed, spacious, all equipped. A very fine balcony to chill on. Drinking water is available for use, so no need to buy bottles from stores. The closest beach is 6min drive, through a hotel. Overall the south East of Mahe is best for beaches, nature.
wi-fi is weak, internet speed is very slow, and even basic browsing barely works:(
Great stay great host !
a great place!
Nice place, nice hosts, nice, well-equipped and spacious apartment with everything you need. The huge balcony is very nice to just hang out and enjoy the nature and surroundings. Bus stop and supermarkets are a 5-minute and Anse Soleil and Petit Anse are a 20min walk away. 10L of drinking water, welcome drinks and beach towels are supplied. And, the apartment has the most beautiful lamps in the bedroom! ;) We were lucky to get a free update, thank you for that! Definitely recommended!
The kitchen and the bathroom are ok, might need some maintenace though. The rest was perfect, thank you! :)
The villa was clean and had everything I needed! The balcony was a great place to hang out
Nothing
the place is stunning and it really made us feel like living on a tropical island
