Chez nous

The hosts are super friendly and loving. We talked a lot with them about our cultures, living, food, religion, etc. One will love to spend time with them. And the lady is an amazing cook. She cooked a very delicious breakfast for us even though we are vegetarians. Also, they have two cute dogs which made my stay more fun.

This place is near a lot of greenery, so need to be careful about mosquitoes here.

Joyce and her family were absolutely lovely and welcoming! You really get to hear and experience what everyday Mauritian life is like! Their house is at the end of a quiet road and about 10 mins walk from Pereybere beach or 5 mins to the nearest bus stop which can take you to Grand Baie/Trou Aux Biches. The property is a bit dated and the room itself is basic and simple but a comfortable stay nonetheless. It’s not super clear on the details on Booking.com when booking but they do have two dogs and also there are family members that smoke. Wasn’t a problem for me but something to consider if that bothers you. Lastly, Joyce will feed you! The breakfasts were plentiful and she made a fantastic dinner (additional charge of €15/RS750) - fish stew to my request which was lovely and delicious! I wish I could have stayed longer, for her hospitality if not for her food!

Because a household with dogs, there was a bit of a lingering smell in the room. Very minor and easily fixable. Other than that, was just sad to go!

The hosts were a lovely couple and made us very welcome, they were happy to share lots of information about Mauritius. The room was quite old and tired with broken electric sockets behind the bed. We weren't able to lock the bedroom door which was a first for us but we were told this was normal in Mauritius. We had dinner at Chez Nous on the first night, the food was very good, Joyce is a great chef but unfortunately she didn't join us for dinner as she had another engagement, her husband joined us but didn't eat. When we got the bill we were a bit surprised at the price as we didn't think it was good value in comparison to other places across the island but perhaps that was our fault for not clarifying the price first. Kindly gave us a late check out.

Breakfast was great and excellent location. Joyce and her Family were very helpful at all times.
