Everything ! The location in the middle of the jungle, the view, the cleanliness, the food and the mood and of course Gerard the boss. It was perfect for my honeymoon. Merci infiniment Gerard !

The only comment I would say is if you don’t like a steep climb up to the property then you might find it challenging but because it’s so secluded we didn’t mind the extra effort.

It was an amazing stay. Gerard and his team have a beautiful place - it’s so picturesque.

The location is really up high on the hill, it is a hard walk every day, which is not for everybody.

The location of this guest house is really unique inside the "jungle". The guest houses are made out of all natural elements, very well thought-out and lots of work invested. The breakfast and dinner were always delicious, healthy and plenty. The crew was really kind and always helpful. Our host Gerard was great to talk with, very positive man with lots of great stories. He also offered us a free upgrade just to make us happy, which we really appreciate and made our honeymoon even better. Our room was spacious, very unique open spaces to the nature, large balcony where you can relax with a nice free coctail after an exhausting day. Lot's of work is invested into this villa every year. If you like nature, I highly recommend Secret Garden Villa, you will not be disappointed.

- This is not "what I didn't like". Food is OK but some plates were a bit spicy for children. Staff cooked non-spicy food for them. I did appreciate their flexibility, actually. - Since it is very open space, we cannot stop insects coming in... - Again this is not a complaining. If you want to enjoy nice landscape, you have to go up! Steep slope to the villa was really good exercise...

- We enjoyed open space - Great to see the full moon and stars at night from the room. - Very helpful and friendly staff - Nice cocktail which make you relax.... - Landscape from the room - Free drinking water

Amazing place and stay. Food and staff was gorgeous

A dream come true in the jungle. The rooms are very thought through, comfortable and yet special everyone in its own way. Ours had a bathroom in the middle of a huge granite rock. The view was great, you also have a lookout just a few minutes of walk away. Breakfast and dinner were very good, a lot of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish. The staff was very friendly and kind. We loved the location, far away from everything and also in the middle of a wonderland of flowers, plants and wooden cotages. Keep in mind though, that from the main road you have to walk cca 7 min on a very steep road, that can get a little slippery during rain. But if you are at least a little bit capable of walking uphill, you can do it. All in all, we would definately recommend!

”No worries”- We Europeans don’t know how not to worry about everything! 😅

There is something really poetic in this place. It takes few days to your nerve system to figure there’s nothing to be worry about. After that, your soul starts to sing. There hasn’t been many times when man amazed me, but this place really did that. It was honour to be here and I think that's the only way to approach this place. Big respect. Food was amazing and Gerard and his staff was so kind and lovely. Like Carl Sagan once said:”I love no man less, but nature more.”

The way up to the property is steep and a good fitness level is required. (No dislike, just a note) If it’s raining and the humidity is high, the wood is giving an intense smell. We informed the host and got scented candles which helped.

Stunning view from the terrace! The atmosphere is really intimate due to the limited amount of rooms - 5 only. Dinner is cooked by the host. Super delicious local food buffet. Small selection but everything was tasty. I liked the papaya salad most. For dinner are water and wine included, before dinner a cocktail is served on the terrace. All the stuff is helpful and very friendly.

steep climb to reach the villa.

Exceptionally beautiful location in a wonderful green tropic garden overlooking the sea. Friendly staff. The natural wooden construction of the Villa appears warm and friendly.

The experience at the secret villa was amazing! as it's name it us a secret garden in the mountains walking distance from the beach. the staff is wonderfly helpful, friendly and professional. the place was all hand made by Jerra .the Aladinn villa is unbelievable! tropical garden and secret lookout points all around (including a pond and even turtles) food was fesh and good. Heplful staff did we say? for example we rented bikes and in the middle of a long ride had a puncture. we sent a message and in no time a new bike arrived! it is an authentic experience . Only thing to know it is a very steep climb from beach front. only possible by foot or the jeep that brought us from fairy and back... we loved every moment here!

An amazing and unique experience staying in the "Robinson Crusoe Lodge". A beautifully constructed room in the jungle made from local wood. The breakfast and diners were good made with high quality local produce. Gerrard and his staff looked after our every need. Fantastic views, a jungle trail with giant tortoise and fantastic views. All round an excellent experience. A must if you come to La Digue

We absolutely loved the property, its location, cleanliness, privateness and the staff. It was the perfect place for our first days of vacation on Seychelles. Also the food was amazing - locally sourced and fresh.

Feel part of nature! within the forest with amazing views. the service was amazing- with great dinner, and a filling breakfast. the host was engaging and his team were naturally friendly. would have loved to stay longer! the walk to the villa is a little challenging- but worth it. stunning views, and friendly pets!

We liked everything. Just as an info, the hill is pretty steep so a fair phisical condition is needed. But it is all worth it. :)

We loved this place. Secret Villa is placed on a hill top with amazing views, surrounded by jungle and trees with delicious fruits. We really manged to disconnect from our daily lives and enjoy the laid back lifestyle of the island. Staff is amazing and it is doing their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Also both dinner and breakfast were equisit. Everything was freshly prepared using ingredients from their own garden.

No doubts that the accomodation is worth to go there, but better to consider in advance that - the access road is really steep, even not by bike ( but we could keep at the beginning of climbing) - there is no airconditioning in the room

Design appartment in beatiful garden Very tasty breakfast, great dinner ( best avocado salad ever:-) Very pleasant the coctail before dinner Nice helpful staff

10 minutes exercise to reach the villa on the top but then you are like in paradise

Ask for Robinson Crusoe appartment. Beautiful view, nature all around you + romantic accommodation. Coctail every day at 18:30 served in your room. Fantastic breakfasts and dinners (wine is included). It is really very special.

Nothing much to say. It's a unique place, give it a try.

Breakfast was great, as was dinner which was part of the package. Given the location at the top of a very steep climb and being away from any shops / restaurants etc, dinner in was ideal and really well done

Shower was (mostly) cold. No windows means no AC, the ventilators did not help much during sleep.

Amazing building that merges with nature. It truly is a very special accomodation so we can recommend it especially if you are looking for more of an adventure. The breakfast and dinner was plentiful and very tasty. We were also upgraded to a larger room in the upper building.

to stay only two days! If we would have known how the « room » was, we would have stayed longer!

paradise on earth! the best place we ever went to. the « boat-room » feels like to be on the roof of the world. Amazing experience, thank you so much.

Since this property is a bit further away from the action we think it would be approppriate to include the rental of the bikes in the room price and not have to pay extra (although it wasn't a lot) for it.

We had one of the wonderful rooms overlooking the sea and island and it was just spectacular. We were so happy with the room and also the staff that we would definitely come back if we ever get the chance to go to LaDigue again. Breakfast and dinner were also great, we loved it.
