    The River House is comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. Angela was so thoughtful, kind and generous. We loved staying there. Such a beautiful, peaceful location with lots of birds - wish we could have stayed longer.

This is a very peaceful place in front of the river. Some guests have said it is a truly magical setting. The full moon on the river at night, the birds singing at breakfast and the fish jumping in the river all add to the charm. We have a new water purification system so this is a rare place in Mauritius where you can drink water from the tap instead of bottled water but we also provide a filter in each suite and recommend you use it for extra security. The lovely calm beach is 3 minutes away on foot and the sea is ideal for bodyboarding and we provide bodyboards free of charge. We have 2 kayaks for you to use, a single and a double also free of charge. We want you to enjoy your stay and are happy to advise on excursions and interesting places to visit and to tell you about local customs. To avoid allergies we only use 100% Egyptian cotton sheets and pillowcases and all bedcovers. Also we have a Kirby machine to clean all rooms and especially mattresses. Rooms are mopped twice a week if you want and sheets are changed once a week normally and air conditioners are cleaned regularly to provide clean pure air.
I have lived in Mauritius for 47 years. I am originally from England but feel very Mauritian after so many years here. I paint and I love to cook and as I live in a beautiful place I enjoy sharing it with people from all over the world. I also take great pleasure in helping my guests to feel at home and to really enjoy being in Mauritius. I am happy to help them organizing excursions when asked. My staff have been working here between 8 and 40 years and speak several languages.
This is a residential area and is very calm and quiet. The nearby sea is often calm or good for surfing and bodyboarding. A full size golf course is 5 minutes away. If you like to swim with the dolphins and snorkel on the reefs I have two fishermen who will take you out at 6.a.m from the beach next to us. Sometimes if the tide in the river is high enough they can collect you from the river in front of us. This is a very personalized service as there are few people on the boat; sometimes only two people and they go before the other boats. They will also take you out for a fishing trip.
