Holiday apartments and houses in Black River

There are two ways to spend a holiday in Mauritius: isolated in a resort hotel or in the middle of it all. Since the former is interchangeable all over the world, we opted for the second option and hit a "six with a super number" with the accommodation. But first things first:

The house has a spacious living area, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 air-conditioned bedrooms, bathroom with shower and toilet as well as a guest toilet. Everything corresponds to local standards (including the power sockets) and is very lovingly and tastefully furnished. Of course you spend the day outside, the terrace and the spacious garden are just inviting. It is almost no exaggeration to say that the garden makes a visit to Pamplemousse superfluous, a single splendour of plants. The greenkeeper and the housekeeper make sure that it stays that way twice a week. The soul of the property, however, is Mr Antoine, who scrupulously supervises the work, lends a hand and is simply infectious with his good humour.

Black River / Rivière Noire has everything a holiday resort needs: shopping centre, supermarket, a variety of restaurants and, of course, a freely accessible beach. You can get everything you need here.

To explore the island, a rental car is recommended. However, Mauritians drive on "the wrong side" and with a lot of faith in God. In addition, the traffic volume is quite high and the roads quite narrow and winding. Basically, you should calculate the driving times generously and not expect too much of yourself. Heading north or around Port Louis, you are hopelessly stuck in traffic jams before 10 am and after 4 pm, and an average speed of 40 km borders on breakneck speeding.

We spent three wonderful weeks here and are already looking forward to our next visit!
