Pristine, relaxing, well equipped Chalets, with a personal touch. Located in a tropical garden, leading onto the beach. Snorkeling, swimming, strolls along the beach, a short hike over the island, star gazing from the garden in the evenings... an ideal relaxing holiday. (PS: There is even a small resturant nearby if you don't feel like cooking) ;)

The site is incredible. The owners : I would like to adopt them in my family. They are so nice, attentive, you would like smth they would give it to you. I felt like a member of the family. Everything was I wanted and much more thanks to Wendy & C°. The appartment is really great, wel kept. The beach and the sea are just out the garden. And for snorkeling it is fantastic.

We are family of two adults and one child(13 years old girl), who spent 4 amazing days and nights in Fairy Tern Chalets, from 07.01.2022 to 11.01.2022. The place is located on a small, cozy Cerf Island, with amazing view to Mahe. It was so hearth-touching to watch the beautiful mountains of Mahe, the sunsets and the night lights, the clean, blue waters full with plenty of colorful fishes! All of these beauties just in front of our terrace! Thanks to Kevin and Wendy, for their hospitality! We felt our self as we was not a customers, as was their dear gests. Kevin treated us with different local fruits from their garden every day. They let us to use a kayaks for free. The house is very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is full with everything you need to prepare a food. There is a barbeque in the garden faced to the sea. The beach is right in front of the house and there is a shadow of a big, beautiful, green tree. If you looking for a place to relax and enjoy the privacy, nature and peace, this is exactly your place. Moreover, you will find a good friends to spend interesting your time, to talk with and understand more about the Seychelles. If we have a chance to go back to Cerf Island, we definitely will stay again in Fairy Tern Chalets. Recommend this place to every one! :)))

We spent two weeks at Fairy -Tern 2nd of March to 15th .It is a really beautiful place and the setting is perfect , the garden is immaculate and has been landscaped expertly by Kevin and Wendy .The chalet is also immaculate and has every comfort you will need and is well equipped . Wendy and Kevin are the perfect hosts and are always on hand to help with information and advice . Kevin showed us many fish from the jetty , we also saw them at night when its quiet . It was interesting to know what they all were .The garden has lots of shade for the hottest times and goes right to the beach which is lovely white sand and great for swimming and snorkelling .It is the perfect place to unwind as its such a laid back atmosphere and you are on island time as soon as you arrive. We highly recommend Fairy - Tern to any one who wants to visit paradise .Ian and Marian C , Manchester , England .

The upper suite is so clean it feels as though you could perform surgery in any room. The owners live in a cottage behind the Fairy Tern and are always around to help. All the essentials came with the cottage and we never needed to go back to the main island during our three day stay. After dinner people gathered on the dock to watch the fish and sharks swim around. We hiked over the island to the other side and swam to the next three islands (but you could have walked most of the way as it is so shallow). We learned much about Seychelles from the owners and other islanders. Most dinners are taken at the nearby hotel. There is a water taxi to Eden Island Marina several times per day, and the owner will arrange a private car for transfers.

Stayed with my husband 30 Dec- 2 Jan and couldn't have been happier with the seamless, welcoming service. Wendy and Kevin really go out of their way to be helpful without being in any way intrusive. The flat is well kept with a sea view.. We also enjoyed the neighbouring L'habitation for dinner. We would have preferred to stay on Cerf another 2 nights but they were booked.. Definitely a place to relax and get away from it all!

The last few days of our holiday on the seychelles we stayed with Kevin & Wendy in Fairy-Tern. A quiet place with beautiful beaches, wonderful garden and a really nice accomodation for a reasonable price. During the day there are a lot of things to do, besides laying / relaxing on the beach. We took a canoe and sailed along the Islands and went for snorkling. We really enjoyed our last days staying on Cerf and we would like to thank Kevin and Wendy for the warm hospitality, great service and interesting chats. Looking forward to meet again in the near future. Cheerz Willem & Monique

This was our first time to Seychelles. After some studies at home the first 7 days of our 30 day stay on Seychelles we wanted to go to a quiet at peacfull place.. Cerf Island was a easy choise. After some more online studying it our choice fell on Fairy Tern Charlet. First of all - this small Island was truly a small paradise. The Fairy Tern + most of the beachhouses and 2 hotels there are on the Victoria-Side of Cerf Island. As most of the rest of Seychelles, there wasnt much live coralls near the beach, but when I did a 50-60 meters swim outside the beach, there was a lot more Corall... Specially by the sea-Marker out there was plenty of beautyful Corals (small tip). There was a "jungle" trail to the other side of the Island (a 25 mins walk). Here is just a few lokal houses. And the sea is very calm there with no wind. This side was truly beautiful (Beware of sandflies though - bring moscito repellent). We spent many hours here. This remote and beautiful side is just taken out from a photograph. Dont miss this!! Now the Fairy Tern charlet was a nice little house. We stayed in the first floor. Wendy and Kevin that owned the house was very helpful and nice. The girls (8 and 12) thought that Kevin had to be the Santa Clause hiding on Cerf Island in the summer time (ˋcause of the look and his laughter). They missed him very much when we had to leave Cerf. The Hotel Next door served some good dinners as well (We loved your PinaColada : - ) We was here in 7 days in July, and this isnt a typical "Tourist Trap" place. Specially on the other side of the Island. We felt that we had the whole Island for our self :) So all-in-all we would Absolutly reccomend Cerf Island and the Fairy Tern charlet!!! -4 from Norway
