“We liked the location and the staff was polite. But there were ants and even a rat in our room. The breakfast area was not cleaned from the night before and there was trash everywhere. ”

“lovely accommodation. nothing luxurious, but everything was great nevertheless. friendly owners, lovely reasonable dinners, free breakfast. super relaxing and private enough, but not too far from the main city center. not much to do in Mahebourg, unless you have a car”

“We stayed a week at Nativ Lodge with half board (breakfast and dinner). My husband and I in one lodge and my 80 year old mother in another. The individual lodges are surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens with paths winding through it. The lodges have an interesting minimalist decor which we liked and comfortable beds and good air conditioning. No WIFI or TV in the rooms so we relaxed and read books instead which was great. The open plan bar/restaurant area was in a natural setting near the river with geckos and frogs around in the evenings. The decor made use of recycled materials which gave a rustic and creative feel to the place. We enjoyed all our meals and the staff were very attentive. The location is close to the airport and Blue Bay Marine Reserve and next door to the National History Museum. Nativ Lodge is in Mahebourg which is the real Mauritius, not a walled resort, so it's not for everyone, but we liked it. It is simple, relaxing and close to nature. You have to go down a back lane to get there but it's worth it.”

“A pleasant quiet garden setting by the river. 8 s/c units, al fresco dining. Close to bus routes and staff will arrange friendly taxi service, boat trips etc. Rooms are clean and comfortable. A clone hotel from a chain, its not. Food cooked by 5* chef Jocelyn is excellent”

“The place was like an oasis, with very friendly hotel service. And the best part, each room has their own pool!”

“Great for nature lovers and if you want to have a real Mauritian experience.
They have a pretty convenient early check-in. We were picked-up at 7am and they offered us breakfast in that moment. Also they have a late check-out, so we could enjoy our last dinner without hurry. The owners are charming and treated us like family, helping us in everything we needed to make our stay more pleasant. Also the rest of the staff is very friendly and helpful. We chose the half-board plan and worth it. Ask for Ricardo`s cocktail, and maybe you`re lucky to try his speciality: "oeufs rôties". Virginie prepares delicious omelettes.
My parents had a nice experience too. We were neighbours. The rooms are so well isolated, you don`t hear a noise inside.
There is a big supermarket not very far away, where you can buy shampoo, etc. And the most important: the best beach (Blue Bay). Ask for COCO to do the glass bottom boat; very nice guy.
Even if you`re planning to go these days -while the spa isn´t prepared yet-, you can enjoy your own mini pool with running water at one of the prestige rooms. I loved the detail of the beach towels and you have a couple of comfortable deck chairs.
Nicolas, special thanks to you. Cliff, you`re awesome. Joelle and the girls, so sympa you all... Can`t wait to go back!
P.S. You don`t need a safe box; Mauritians are good karma people.
Don`t worry about the ants. And even the dog is friendly!”
