The entrance uphill is bit steep.

Very close to beaches and restaurant. Spacious and clean.

The location on Anse Parnel , nice view of the ocean from our patio . Spacious chalets equipped with everything you need . Pineapples growing out the back . Tropical setting . Huge bed and huge bathroom . Friendly and helpful host Richard .

Some minor issues: despite some previous reviews, there is no outside shower / foot washing tap in the garden (or at least we could not find it). This would be really useful, as public toilets/ showers/foot washing utilities are unknown on the beaches of Mahé Island (we have been to like 20, and none of them had any such facilities....though some have open-air fitness parks...) Some curtain would be useful and practical on the bathroom windows. So do insect-net on some of the doors/windows.

I have been travelling frequently and extensively for decades mainly for leasure purposes and stay mostly at airb&b and short term rental apartments. Surfers Beach Self Catering Apartments are among the best (out of the circa 25-30 apartments I have stayed so far worldwide), in all respect: location, comfort, kitchen, cleanliness, staff, layout, spaciness. Easy check-in, late check-out, helpful and always available owner, daily cleaning, great, open, widespread view on the Indian Ocean, 1 minute walk to the nearest beach (Anse Parnel), properly equipped kitchen (which really made real self catering feasible for us - we cooked dinner nearly every evening), shady big ocean facing terrace, Good location to explore the entire island - providing you rent a car. Airco and fans were highly efficient and silent. Surfers Beach is only 10 minutes drive from the - in my opinion - best 2 beaches on the Island. Would I return? Yes, definitely!

That I had to leave 🥹.

Great place to stay if you want to travel in an uncomplicated, spontaneous way. Richard, the owner is very welcoming and happy to help with any question on short notice. Rental car is recommended as you stay in the less busy south of Mahé.

Facilities and staff were great. Lovely cove like beach and mountainous jungle behind. Great value for money breakfasts and caring and attentive staff. Thank you all so much for looking after us.

Location was good

The place has a beautiful garden, relaxing views across the see, many birds singing and chirping , amazing views of the sky full of stars from the terrace. The chalets are very spacious for a family of 4 and very comfortable. Richard, the owner is great, friendly and helpful while being extremely discreet. They have an amazing restaurant on the beach, but I will review it separately. Having our breakfast and dinners there was a blessing. The beach is perfect, our entire family had a wonderful time there. Such an amazing time we had there! Definitely one of the best places in Mahe, highly recommended!

The beach directly in front of the apartment is super beautiful and the hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Amazing value for money, we'd definitely come back.

The bed linen wasn't clean as we would liked to and the living room has kind of a smell,cos the chalet is a bit outdated - but it has everything what You need booking self catering. Also the bed mattress is quite used and need to be changed. In 2nd chalet there are no blinds in shower,so from neighbor house and office You can actually see inside in the shower room( and especially if there is lights switched on)

The location is wonderful for those whoo seek to lay in the beach alone. It's on opposite site of the capital. There is wonderful restorant with ocean view and delicious food. You can see the ocean from chalets terrace and bedroom window. We stayed at chalet no 2. The price comparing to atver is very good for the property. In the bedroom there is AC.

Place is outdated. One or two of the curtain have tiny holes in them. Weird smell from the bathroom (went away after we used the shower)

Location was fantastic. Shops are within driving distance and the beach is right across from the hotel. It had everything we needed to self cater. Aircon was great. Bed was comfortable.
