PEREYBERE: AN AUTHENTIC MAURITIAN VILLAGE WITH GREAT LOCAL AMENITIES:

Our guests are charmed by Pereybere's authentic village atmosphere while benefitting from an array of local amenities within a few minutes' walk from the apartment.

All amenities are 1-5 minutes' walk: excellent reasonably priced restaurants serving delicious local and international cuisine, bars, a very well stocked supermarket with a bakery section for breakfast ("Winners" supermarket is only 2 minutes walk from the apartment), several excursion/scuba diving & car/bike hire centres, a taxi stand, bus stops and ATM machines. There is a doctor and beautician/hairdresser nearby. Opposite the apartment is also a chemist.

PEREYBERE'S GORGEOUS BEACHES: THE PUBLIC BEACH WITH AMENITIES AND THE SECLUDED WILDER BEACHES AT "POINTE D'AZUR":

Some of the best beaches on the island are right in Pereybere, all within a few minutes' walk from the apartment, with no roads to cross. These beaches are fabulous with fine white sand and turquoise waters. There is the choice between the more lively Pereybere public beach and more secluded, tranquil beaches and coves.

At Pereybere public beach the sea is like a giant swimming pool - fine sand under your feet (no prickly corals or sea urchins) and a nearly waveless turquoise lagoon with no current that makes for very safe swimming. This beach also offers an array of water sports. "Filaos" trees span the entire rear of the beach offering shade throughout the day for those who prefer it. There is also plenty of room on the beach for sun lovers to enjoy. There is a restaurant on the beach with sea views as well as stalls offering very inexpensive delicious local snacks and specialities. One end of the beach offers a variety of water sports, including pedaloes, kayaks, water skiing, towable doughnuts and glass bottom boat tours.

In Pereybere, there is also a series of less frequented, wilder coves and beaches at Pointe d'Azur", again a few minutes' walk in the other direction from the apartment, which have no amenities but are tranquil and beautiful with stupendous views of "Coin de Mire" island. These waters are a delight to snorkle in. You can walk for miles along fabulous stretches of beaches towards Bain Boeuf and then onto Cap Malheureux.

SEA EXCURSIONS AND ACTIVITIES ON OFFER NEARBY:

You will find a great variety of reasonably priced activities to choose from and most of them can be booked through agencies located only a few minutes' walk from the apartment (we particularly recommend Malyra Tours):

At some point during the outing, the semi submarine stops along the reef giving you the opportunity to snorkel along the beautiful coral reef.

- The Captain Nemo’s undersea walk, takes place in the lagoon near Grand-Baie and is a great activity for non-divers and children over 7. A helmet with a transparent visor is placed on your head allowing you to walk 3 to 4 meters deep on the ocean floor to enjoy, the corals and wide variety of fish.

- Scuba diving with the Ocean Spirit Centre located in Pereybere

Mostly positive impressions

A good rental for two people and enough space for four if you don’t mind preparing a sofa bed for the other two. Positives: A great position: near the supermarket, car rental office, bus stop and about 4 minutes’ walk to the beach. Handy to have a pool for days when it’s too windy for the beach, although there is some road noise but you’ll get used to it. There are plenty of utensils, crockery and bowls, etc. in the kitchen. Spare linen and a linen basket is provided, so just wash what you’ve used. The washing machine plays a little tune when it’s finished its cycle! A drying rack is provided. The air con works well. There is an alarm so you can feel safe. The maid is very helpful and friendly. Our taxi transfer was as arranged. Negatives: A drawback is that there is no hot water in the bathroom basin or the kitchen sink so be prepared to boil the kettle. It would be helpful if this was pointed out. The underground parking that comes off the little lane is quite tight so you have to be good at manoeuvring, so hire a small car. There are usually some cars parked at the top of the lane, so make sure there’s nothing coming before you turn down there from the main road. Extra information: The cooker is gas, including the oven and matches are provided (standard size not long ones, which seem to be impossible to find in the shops!).

We fell in love with Mauritius...

We are really happy to write this review about the apartment and Mauritius as well. First of all if you are looking for a destination with great weather, beautiful ocean and amazing people Mauritius is a right place for you! We always hoped that such a place still exist in the world where people great you with a smile in their face only because they pass around you! We really loved that! As for the Pereybere it is a nice holiday village with good restaurants serving thai, chinese and creole food, several bars, internet cafes, travel agencies, ATM machines, some boutiques and big supermarket called "Winners" where you can buy really everything you might need. It is ideally located about 100 meters from the apartment (it is great for buying the freshly baked baguette every morning :) Pereybere is also known for its beautiful turquoise lagoon where you can swim almost like in a pool. We have a small baby so we couldn´t think of a better place. Yes it can get a bit crowded during the weekends but it is nice to see how locals spend their weekends by the sea. On the other side of the apartment there is a loooong stretch of so called private beaches where you can relax without the crowds. Apartment is equipped with the lightweight sun chairs and umbrella which you can take along with you to the beach. As for the apartment itself... it is a nice, bright and very good located holiday apartment where you will find everything you might need for the selfcatering vacation. There is also a babycot and a highchair. Everyday cleaning is a bonus that we really appriciated and you are also in touch with lovely always smiling housekeeper Marceline who is there to help you with anything you might need. And at the end we want to thank to the owners Sandra and Mark who were very helpful arranging the things around apartment. We were lucky enought to meet them and their parents personally. They all are such a nice people who provided us with plenty of information about the island and helped us with everything we needed during our one month long stay and also helped a lot when our baby was ill... they made our stay really amazing and unforgettable experience! And when they left back to Europe our baby was standing everyday infront of their door saying "Where is Gerome and Silvia?" :))) it was so cute...So once again thank you and we really hope so much to meet you all again in such a beautiful place like Mauritius definetely is!

Self Catering in Pereybere. 1 Bedroom apartment

We would like to let you know we had a very relaxing enjoyable holiday. The was excellent. We used the "private" beach the mostly, as it is only 5 minutes walk and the snorkling for tropical fish was what we both were looking forward to. We found the trip (Rs400) to the South West showed us most of the Island and the bus rides into Port Louis(Rs32) as good as any fairground ride! Marcella's meal was delicious and plenty of it. There are lots of restaurants within 10 min walk or Winners supermarket is only 2 mins round the corner. Highly recommended.

Island Living - An Amazing Holiday

Dear Sandra & Mark, First of all thank you so much for really a great holiday.The photos don't do this apartment justice.. What a lovely spacious apartment, furnished appropriately for holidaymakers wanting a self catering style of holiday.,which is the only way to enjoy Mauritius :-) . The supermarket is around the corner and there are 2 fruit markets just as close making shopping so convenient . We enjoyed amazing food for breakfast every morning and had lunch and dinner a couple of times in the apartment. The place was kept immaculate by Marceline who also makes a mean local curry upon request for dinner - for a nothing fee. We spent every day on the beach and there was a cupboard full of beach towels, and beach chairs and mats to use which we really appreciated. The coffee perculator was my best friend and the local supermarket stocked my favourite coffee :-) . The location was brilliant - 5mins to Grand Baie by bus which stopped outside the door, and cost next to nothing. Cote d Azur private beach was a two minute walk and we spent every other day here, while Pereybere's main beach, a 3min walk was a lovely beach style lagoon , and a sunbed and umbrella could be hired out for the whole day, and Cafe Perybere and the local Food Stand and Icecream stand was well visited by us. We highly recommend hiring a scooter and going around the island - we had a free tourist map to use and it was easy to get around. Swimming with Dolphins was the highlight of our trip , which Nanda, who picked us up from the airport, combined it with a mini tour around Mauritus for a great price. Nanda is the man to talk to about tours, and if you like seafood and don't mind basic restaurant surroundings then Nanda's Uncles Rest in Grand Baie is the one to visit . The Sailing trip out to Flat Island was also another highlight with the snorkleing and the onboard seafood BBQ. We could go on and on about how amazing Mauritus was and staying in such a fresh, spacious and well equipped apartment for two weeks just made the holiday a real island style living scenario. We had an amazing time and ( fingers crossed) hope to be coming back next year. It really was a wonderful and truly magic holiday and would recommend it to families, couples and friends. Regards Anje & Ricky
