Hotels near Grand Bassin, Bois Chéri

The 2 bedroom house is big - I felt like a king with the property to myself for a whole month The property was extremely clean upon arrival Huge living room with a chandelier and massive television that has an active Netflix account but also Youtube Comfy sofa seating I set up a yoga mat in front of the TV and had my own yoga studio for the entire duration (Highly recommended!) Quality Aircon in every single room of the house Private outdoor area which also has a washing line Gated property with huge front space and veranda Kitchen facilities are excellent, I especially enjoyed using the electric hob and oven - I cooked everyday! Huge diining room table that I turned into my workspace for the entire duration 2 excellent hosts who will meet you with the keys, they live very locally so if you need anything you can contact them Winners supermarket 10 mins walk away, but also a huge local supermarket called Dream Price that is only 2 minutes away Many many food stalls selling street food at a decent price, you will never go hungry Just 10 minutes to the beach (Jump on the bus is the easiest way)

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it was worth every penny. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a whole package of activities and meals. When I arrived, I was a bit too early for check-in, so I was invited to do a tea tasting on a beautiful balcony overlooking the lake. While I sampled 8 different types of tea, I watched a family of wild boars trot past, and I couldn’t help but laugh when a monkey stole a box of tea from a neighboring table. When I was invited to my bubble lodge, I was blown away by the details - flower petals on the bed, stunning views of nature. It would be perfect for a honeymoon, but I also enjoyed it as a solo traveler. I spent my afternoon watching the animals from my bubble - monkeys, wild boars, a black swan. I also took a long walk around the lake. The dinner (included in the room reservation) was exquisite. Three delicious courses and plenty of vegetarian options. I also really liked the tea bread served with tea chutney. During my dinner, I watched Java deer just outside of the panoramic windows. After dinner, I had a beautiful nighttime walk back to my bubble, and I laid in bed watching the stars and listening to animals rustling in the trees. When I awoke in the morning, I found that a pair of Java deer were looking into my bubble, and the black swan was also right outside. I took a rain shower outdoors with a bit of actual rain mixed in. I had a delicious breakfast that consisted of crepes, an omelet, yogurt, juice, tea, and more of my favorite tea bread. Next I borrowed a bicycle from the lodge and rode it to the tea museum, where I learned all about tea, and then I took a guided tour of the Bois Cheri tea factory. At the end, I had yet another tea tasting, and then it was time to check out of my hotel. All-in-all, I had a perfect stay and I really hope that I will have an opportunity to come back someday. I want to give a special shout-out to Tina, who took really good care of me in the restaurant.

Location was perfect. You come to this place for specific locations (hiking, waterfall)
