Lovely house near Anse Possession

Good location, really quiet and relaxing! In the garden there are 5 big turtles, an attraction for children and other people! There is opportunity to rent a car with the help of the owner, to visit all the beaches of this beautiful island.

Winter getaway

We had a great stay here. Even though the road runs between the house and ocean, traffic did not bother us. There is a bus stop right in front if you are planning to use public transportation. There are also other properties very close, we never even met anyone from these properties as everyone was out and about doing their own thing. No one entered our yard to visit with the tortoises as we had read in other reviews.

Big garden

We stayed 3 nights in this unique beautiful beach house. The host helped us arranging a rental car and it was so helpful. There are several cottages in the same cite and the surrounding of this big house is fenced. There are 5 tortoises in the garden of the house. Neighbors in the cottages are usually visiting tortoises in the house, so we feel the garden is not actually a private.. The house is just right in front of the beach, so you can directly enter the sea.

Very beautiful house with island vibes

The house is perfect. Comfortable, spotless, simple but very nice decorated. All kinds of amenities are available, everything is clean and perfectly organized. Beautiful and spacious veranda, nice view. The turtles are very nice, the yard is also very beautiful. The beach is not as the best ones, not very suitable for swimming but still nice. Bus stop just in front of the house.There are no any minimarkets, restaurants or takeaways near by. The closest ones are few kilometers away (definitely not a walking distance).The hostess Mrs. Lablache is very kind and helpful and she obviously keeps this property in perfect condition.

Good views of bay

The bedrooms are air conditioned but the rest of the house is not, so it can get quite warm in the living spaces. The house is older and was not especially clean. It is in a small development with several other houses and is not privates- especially with guests coming to your yard to see the tortoises. The bay in front of the house is very very shallow. Our teenage kids were unable to swim in it. Beaches with waves are only a short drive away. There are no walkable restaurants, so be prepared to drive short distances for food. I think this rental would be best for families with small kids who prefer shallow water and cooking at home. The front porch is very spacious and the large fenced yard has 5 friendly tortoises.

Waschmaschine ist auch vorhanden. Bushaltestelle direkt vor dem Haus, das quietschen der Bremsen, wenn der Bus hält, werde ich nicht vergessen;-) Sehr zu empfehlen. Danke für den schönen Urlaub.

Sehr großes Haus, 2 getrennte Schlafzimmer mit Klimaanlage, großer Aufenthaltsraum, zweckmäßige offene Küche, sehr großer Garten, komplett umschlossen damit die 5 Bewohner des Gartens (5 Riesenschildkröten) ein sicheres zu Hause haben....Unkomplizierte und freundliche Vermieterin, Bananen für die Schildkröten, Trinkwasser im gekühlten Wasserspender... kurzum eine perfekte Unterkunft für einen Aufenthalt auf Praslin.... der Strand ist hier auch traumhaft.... es empfiehlt sich ein Mietwagen obwohl man auch gut den Bus nutzen kann...

Prima Unterkunft für Familie

Schöne Unterkunft in ruhiger Lage. Für den Einkauf von Lebensmitteln wird zwingend ein Auto benötigt. Die 5 Schildkröten auf dem Grundstück sind ein Highlight. Sie essen deine Obst- und Essensreste mit Vorliebe. Super Service beim Transfer von und zu der Fähre durch Tessier Morel. Er hilft dir auch bei der Autoanmietung, ist jederzeit ansprechbar, wenn du Fragen hast. Mückenschutzmittel sind auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

Perfekt

Wir haben uns die ganze Zeit sehr wohlgefühlt. Den Mietwagen haben wir auch über die Vermieterin buchen können. Dort kennt einfach jeder jeden. ;-) Die Schildkröten waren für unsere Kids das Highlight. Ein Hausangestellter hat uns beigebracht, wie wir Kokosnüsse am geschicktesten öffnen können. Alle zwei Tage kommt jemand zur Hausreinigung vorbei, was wir allerdings nicht immer in Anspruch nahmen. Mückennetze waren an allen Betten angebracht. Bushaltestelle ist direkt am Haus - brauchten wir zwar nicht, ist aber vielleicht für andere Reisende von Wichtigkeit. Als Fazit kann man sagen: für die erste Station einer mehrwöchigen Reise auf die Seychellen war diese Unterkunft genau die Richtige, da sie nicht so überkandidelt war, sondern einfach landestypischer, irgendwie integrativer.

Schöne geräumige Villa

Die Villa ist stilvoll und hat eine wirklich schöne Veranda, auf der man auch gut sitzen kann, wenn es regnet (Hat es bei uns leider über Tage). Die Schlafzimmer sind klimatisiert und für Trinkwasser ist gesorgt. Minuspunkte müssen wir leider für die Beleuchtung geben. Es war sehr dunkel innen. Als Begrüßung haben wir einen offenen und vergorenen Orangensaft bekommen und sehr störend war, dass man den Garten oft teilen muss, mit Touristen, die ungefragt die Schildkröten fotografieren oder füttern wollen. Aber insgesamt kann man die Unterkunft empfehlen, wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt.
