It was our first trip to the Seychelles and first Christmas away from home where there was no snow! As we were from the UK and had to quarantine for the first 6 days we chose the Beach Cottages as we would have access to outside space. The accommodation is modern, immaculately clean and has every utensil needed. Not only did the accommodation and outside space exceed our expectations but I have to say all the staff took the pandemic very seriously and we felt very safe. Cyril and Katrina and all their colleagues could not have been more professional and helpful. They arranged our safe collection from the airport (Patrick - 40 Euro), initial food supplies and things we then needed on a day-to-day basis thereafter. There was a lovely welcome basket. Red snapper and tuna were the best we have ever had! They treated us to a lovely takeaway one evening and on our last day cooked us beautiful red snapper curry. Beach Cottages clearly attract a better quality of traveller and all our neighbours were very nice people. We arrived Christmas Eve and enjoyed a lovely Christmas Day through to New Year’s Day. Our two daughters (7&9) loved the beach and we were happy to let them paddle and play while we read books (however, watch out for sea urchins near reef). We stayed in the apartment on the ground floor nearest the sea. It is much bigger than it looks in the pictures and views are stunning. You get the whole ground floor to yourself with a giant patio. You also enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. The internet could not be faulted and the TV has a good selection of channels. Katrina and Cyril even helped to organise car hire (Bryan +2482525077).They also have two large giant tortoises and these were great for our children to see up close and feed. We would have no hesitation revisiting or recommending Beach Cottages.

My wife and I spent our anniversary week at Beach Cottages and it was amazing! Located on the beach with stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Beach Cottages was an excellent location for our travel plans for Mahe. It was located next to a grocery shop which had all that you needed. The cottage which is a self catering unit, provided to our every need and more. It was super clean and neat, complete kitchen with fridge, gas stove, microwave, toaster and kettle as well as cutlery and all cooking utensils needed. We were also provided with 10 litres of bottled water which really helped! The bedroom was excellent as it opened on to a balcony with ocean and garden views and it had aircon and a ceiling fan for to keep on cool in the hot and humid weather of Seychelles. The bathroom was super clean with an excellent shower, however, the LED lighting in the bathroom could be a bit brighter. Cleaning services were provided all week except on a Sunday. Beach Cottages also has good WiFi.

Beach Cottages has its own little beach cove which was excellent for a morning or evening swim and for snorkeling as well.

A special mention to Pency and Jane who were excellent hosts and managers as they were very welcoming with warm smiles and provided us with all the information, tips and recommendations that we needed. Pency welcomed us in the very early hours on a Sunday morning as our flight from South Africa was delayed by 6 hours and this was very much appreciated. Jane always checked how our stay was going and if we needed anything whenever we met in the gardens of Beach Cottages. Jane was also very helpful in providing tips on where to shop, snorkel, places to visit, hiking trails to venture on, etc.

We had an excellent time at Beach Cottages and will surely be back someday in the future.

We highly recommend Beach Cottages for your stay on Mahe, Seychelles.

We stayed here for four nights. Jane who worked at reception helped us feel at home. She arranged car rental for us, gave us kayaks and life jackets to use for free and even gave us some bananas for breakfast (it is self catering). They had great kitchen facilities, including a coffee maker! The beds are comfy. The water from the shower was always hot! The apartment was clean and such a good price. We were right by the beach. The cottages are quiet and they provide sun loungers and a shower to use outside after going to the beach. They allowed us to check out late on our final day as our flight wasn't until 5pm, no extra cost. Seychelles is a beautiful place and staying here made the experience even more so! Good location for the beach and right next to a mini mart which was handy for getting water.

It’s a lovely spot next to Beau Vallon where we had a calm and peaceful stay. It even gets you access to a small beach with good snorkeling options.

The facilities are awesome, either for simply hang out or cook your meals. Katrina, the manager, was always very helpful and considerated and she even helped us renting a car.

If there, don’t hesitate ordering food from “Infusion”, a local takeaway which directly delivers to this place.

We visited during December for two weeks’ quarantine before going to stay with family. These self catering apartments are well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome and safe. The owners do all they can to ensure that guests have a good stay. Quarantine in this environment was a real pleasure. We appreciated spending time in the beautifully kept gardens and on the beach. We enjoyed swimming at high tide and exploring the rock pools when the tide was out. We hope to return soon. Thank you to everyone at Beach Cove and Cottages for everything you did to make our stay so comfortable.

We stayed here for 3 weeks. We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the accommodation not mention the friendly staff who were always on hand & very obliging. The beachfront location was an absolute winner with snorkeling/swimming/kayaking right on our doorstep. Also just 1 minute walk from the grocery store & a bus stop right at the property entrance. Such convenience! Highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone seeking accommodation in the north of Mahe in the Seychelles.

The Beach Cottages are located in the perfect spot: Walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants and dive centres, but secluded enough to enjoy absolute peace and quiet. Staff are super helpful and the cottage had everything we needed, including the all-important BBQ! There's a lovely little beach right below the cottages, perfect for rock pool scavenging during low tide and a lovely swim during high tide. I would definitely stay here again.

Great to hear your holiday with us was a success. Our location is , as you say, perfect, close to supermarkets and just far enough from Beau Vallon Beach to enjoy the peace and quiete. The rock pools in front are full of marine life, perfect for kids. We hop we can entertain you again at Beach Cottages soon.

Most places never quite live up to their publicity photos but Beach Cottages, a short walk from several good restaurants, surpassed them. We did have the best room with sea views on all sides and a balcony where you could sit and watch the sunset, but the view from it was just amazing. The manager showed us all round the apartment - we didnt cook anything but we did use the two pre-filled huge bottles of iced water, which was only one of a lot of amazing touches. A dryer outside to hang your wet clothes on, fast wifi, lots of charging points, a water dispenser, kettle, free coffee and milk, a comfortable bed, decent aircon. A list of food that could be delivered. Service and a clean bed every day. A powerful shower and spacious bathroom. Car parking space. Manager on duty in the day, a security guard at night. A short walk through the gardens to a private beach. Who needs a resort when you have everything here. Absolutely perfect.

I think we got the best room with an amazing ocean view. The kitchen was fully equipped so you can cook if needed. Location is good too, parking on the territory, private beach with corals where you can do snorkelling, not far from Beau Vallon beach and restaurants. They also provide canoe for free. Highly recommended this place for staying in Mahe island.

A beautiful place to stay, well kept gardens with loungers to star gaze and listened to the waves. A wonderful location with a private beach, secluded from the outside world. Accommodation was perfect, comfortable bedding, personal bathroom, all of a very high standard. Kitchen fully equipped but never used, with so many places to eat within a short distance, it wasn’t necessary. A water dispenser provided cool water. The staff were smiling, pleasant and very helpful with advice and information. Two of the best kept giant tortoises were grateful for any fruit skins in the morning and provided a splendid opportunity to be so close to these amazing creatures. I will certainly stay there again when I next go back to the Seychelles.
