Amenities/Facilities provided

 

Accessibility
No, sorry the house is not really suitable for wheelchair users because all bedrooms are on 1st floor.

Outside
The verandah, which is actually the outside dining room, is furnished with large rectangular Teak dining table and 8 matching chairs. To read one's magazine or drink one's coffee or aperitif, 4 deep seated cane sofas with matching round table are set charmingly in one corner.
Small Indian coffee tables, a 3 seater sofa in teak are spread out to give living comfort.
While outside, in the garden a large solid wooden table hand crafted out of one of our own garden tree with 4 impressive matching benches await to welcome guests to prepare barbecues and enjoy outdoor living. Spots lights are installed in near by trees to illuminate the dark tropical nights when needed. Deck chair is provided and a Weber barbecue also.

Coast/Beach
Our villa is next to the coastal road opposite a 4 star hotel. The nearest accessible beach is "La Cuvette" 10 minutes walk, Pereybere also 10 minutes, Grand Baie beach 10 minutes walk. In fact all along the coastal road are beaches. All beaches have white sand with emerald crystal clear water. On the shore we have filaos trees and grass growing and normally guests can hire deck chairs and practice all kinds of water sports everywhere. One of our longest beaches "Mon Choisi" is about 15 min.

Golf
An 18 hole Golf course at Belle Mare Plage about 40 minutes' drive by car from Grand Baie offer all the challenges that a trained golfer is looking for. Another golf course at Anaita near Belle Mare Plage in a nice setting is also open to the public. For guests who wish to travel light, it is possible to hire golf clubs and bag on the spot but perhaps the choice of brand names could be limited.

Special interest holidays
Being a painter and ceramist, this could be a special opportunity for guests interested to have workshop or courses in oil painting, painting on glass, ceramics, china and also hand building sculpture.
Besides, we have a plantation of 4 acres of land where all tropical fruit trees to be found on the island have been planted. We have a collection of full bred cocks and hens, guinea fowls, ducks, geese and turkeys, goats and even a little wild pig. Guests who love nature can choose to spend time on the plantation to experience natural living and a super barbecue is installed with a huge table and long benches for meals and hammocks hang for siestas. A pergola with wine trees gives shades from the hot summer sun. All this is set among the sugar cane fields away from the centre of Grand Baie but still within Grand Baie (5 minutes), with a superb view on the Coin de Mire, the sea on one side and a range of mountains on the other.
We normally eat the fresh produce of our plantation.

Travel
Nearest and unique airport is about 1 hr 15 mins from Grand Baie. Hiring of car is not essential but if guests prefer to have a greater mobility and independence then it could be recommended. We could propose some reliable local car hire that charge less per day than Avis or Hertz. Otherwise, during the day, the bus is a cheap and reliable means of transport. We have also our own regular taxi man and if used by our guests, he would charge very reasonable fares.
