Le Morne Beach Cottage - beach front cottage at kite and surfspot

Lack of toilets rolls and air condition for down stairs fan wasn’t enough

The cottage was everything we expected. It was stocked with all the utensils we needed for a 7 day stay and being situated in the heart of Le Morne village we could buy food & drink from the local shops and food stalls. Everyone was courteous & helpful with a very lively and entertaining village life surrounding us. My husband thought he could kite to Le Morne kite beach from there but the wind wasn’t in the right direction. We walked to Chill Point, then waded 150m through the lagoon waters to a dirt road with another 1.5km walk to the kite beach. Easy going especially at low tide & great exercise for the day. Hosts were easy to communicate with & helpful with bus trip suggestions. We definitely recommend this property for an authentic Mauritian holiday.

The standard of the actual property was ok. It should be noted that the image is of a whole house but it is divided into two properties. What cannot be seen is the 5foot wall separating the garden from the very busy road. The garden is in fact for parking the cars. Immediately next door is the village beer outlet. There was a lot of loud people noise during the day and evening. Together with the 20 to 30 stray dogs roaming the village almost every house seemed to have their own dog kept outside and together they managed to bark off and on all night.

Francois, who looks after the property, was very helpful and even lends you a local mobile phone sim. The property is equipped to a very high standard, is only 10 minutes drive from one of the best beaches we've found so far on Mauritius, is handy for getting into the national park for walking, not 10 minutes drive away there is a wonderful supermarket and fresh fruit and vegetable roadside stalls. I would highly recommend this place....at the price it's a bargain!!! .....the house is on a busy road and surrounded by locals houses which didn't bother us at all....we rather enjoyed watching all the local activity pass by!

Just as described. The cottage is very nice and well equipped. Air conditioning works but is additional. Village can be quite lively on weekends but not too late in the evening.

We just returned from a very nice holiday in Le Morne! We stayed in the cottage for 1 month with 2 adults and a son (1 years old). We really liked the house, it's very complete with a good kitchen/bathroom/veranda and airconditioning in both bedrooms. The house is built between the local people and we like that very much, only sometimes at night you hear the dogs barking at the street. Next to the house there's a little restaurant/shop where you can order diner (like curry chicken/noodles/rice) and bread for in the morning, very cheap. Only 10 min by car there’s a big supermarket in La Gaulette where you can buy almost everything, there are also some nice restaurants! In front of the house there is a beach but not really nice to lay on, but when you drive 5/10 minutes to the left of right there are enough beautiful beaches. Nearby Le Morne there are a lot of nice things to see, like Chamarel, Rochesterfalls and La Vanilla Zoo. We really like the island as well and the people are really nice. For kitesurfers it’s also a great place, the kitebeaches are nearby and you can start in front of the house. When we return tot Mauritius, we will stay in this cottage again!
