Our house, your home away
Welcome dear reader !
​
Thank you for visiting our website.
We are very glad you want to know a bit about us!
​
If you are looking for a different experience to anything you already had, then you may find it at our place ....
We are located outside the most touristic areas so enjoy quietness and peace of mind thus within 10 minutes drive from all facilities.
We offer a home made selection of dishes every night for those willing to taste the blend of flavors our country offers.
We share our house's main spaces : main verandah, pool, garden and living room.
We mean it when we say "Feel at home".
​
We are a family owned and ran guest house.
As such you are welcomed like a friend.
So take it easy and enjoy the moment,

Exploring around
Beach side
A 1 km walk will lead to Le Bouchon, pittoresque fishermen village located along the sea.
Another 3kms further, enjoy the beautiful beach of La Cambuse for a nice swim or snorqueling.
The Natural Bridge
Shaped by the sea into the cliff, the Natural Bridge is located 2 kms from Gite des Acacias. Relaxing and breathtaking view over the ocean.
Exploring Mahebourg
Mahebourg hosts a local market every Monday where one can enjoy the Mauritian living style and buy souvenirs, taste delicious street foods and visit historical monuments and unique places like the traditional biscuit factory.
Extend the local experience by taking a bus ride from the guest house to Mahebourg.
The wild south
Wild. This word says it all.
Unspoiled lagoons and beaches for fun snorkeling or swims.
No amenities around.
Getting to these spots mean you will either need a car, a scooter or be ready to walk a bit into the sugar cane fields.
These authentic places are worth the ride to our opinion.
Ile aux Aigrettes
Managed by the Mauritius Wildlife Foundation, Ile aux Aigrettes organizes guided tours to discover the endangered species of Mauritius and explain their work to protect them.
Boat trips
We organize boat trips upon request. Either to Ile aux Cerfs with a catamaran or the Old Light House island in a traditional boat, enjoy a full day tour in the largest lagoon of Mauritius.
