Description:
Forest Lodge Guest House located in the beautiful north-west of Mahé, which is ideal for backpackers tourists. The famous, bustling bay of Beau Vallon is not far away from the accommodation, while the nearby coastal road offers spectacular views of the ocean and the gorgeous Seychelles landscape. The apartments of the estate are ideal for self-catering thanks to their in-built kitchen. In addition, there's a barbeque area available for use by guests, where you can grill the freshly-caught delights of the Seychelles and enjoy them outside under the sun. Or, if you don't fancy preparing your own meal, the hotel also has its own restaurant, which offers good food that will satisfy your hunger. The guesthouse is run and owned by the same people, so they are always happy to lend a hand to their guests, recommending tourist attractions with their broad knowledge, as well as hiking trails, special restaurants, and other home secrets.
Each unit features a flatscreen TV, air-conditioning, and a balcony. In addition, you will find a complete kitchen unit or kitchenette in each unit, containing all the necessary equipment for a self-catering holiday. The private bathroom has a toilet, sink, and shower. The balcony leads off the property, and offers a beautiful view of the mountains and garden. Inside, the simple decor and the welcoming atmosphere will make you feel right at home. In the bedrooms, kingsize beds or twin beds ensure a well-deserved night's sleep, leaving you refreshed each morning. Listen to the birds in the morning from your balcony as you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, ready for a new day in the Seychelles. The rooms of the guesthouse are divided into three categories, the "Studio with Balcony", "Studio with Twin Beds and Balcony", and "Apartment with Balcony". These units differ in terms of size, as well as certain features. The apartment is the largest living unit, and includes a separate living room with integrated dining area and a spacious kitchen.
The nearby sandy beach of Beau Vallon is one of the most famous bays in the whole world, and is the longest sandy stretch in the Seychelles. Unlike many smaller coves, this beach allows you to participate in several different watersports, and slopes gently into the sea. Over the last few years, a small yet bustling town has sprung up around the beach, including several bars, restaurants, and shops. The beach itself, however, manages to remain relatively uncrowded, even during peak season. Don't miss the Bazar Labrine market each Wednesday, right in the bay, where locals sell their products, delicacies, and souvenirs, sometimes accompanied by live music. In addition, Mahé is home to the Seychelles' capital, Victoria, where you can admire traditional markets, popular bars and restaurants, and a beautiful harbour.

I really liked the accommodation "Forest Lodge Guest House". Everything was very clean. The equipment of the guest house was simple, but everything that was needed was there. Since the accommodation is right on the edge of the forest, you could watch the twilight from the terrace as fruit bats made their rounds in the sky. Except for a few barking dogs, it was pleasantly quiet. All people were very nice and helpful. Alom brought me a papaya from their own garden several times. Unfortunately, I only met Steven, the owner, on the evening before my departure, as he was traveling himself. Checkout on the day of departure would normally have been at 10:00 am. I was offered that I could stay 2 hours longer for free and each additional hour would then cost 100 SCR (approx. 7.20 EUR). I then took the opportunity and extended my checkout until 4 p.m., which enabled me to take a half-day trip with a shower afterwards on the day of departure. Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
spacious apartment for two people, staff present and available necessary car rental; in any case, to fully enjoy the car, the top quality price structure is highly recommended Translation (IT): GoogleTranslate
