The Red Roof House, as we called it, in Cap Malhereux was the first of several booked for a few weeks in Mauritius. Farita, the maid who greeted us on our first day, was lovely and showed us through the property. She and her daughter took care of the house during our stay. We were also lucky enough to have her cook us some fabulous Mauritian dishes. So flavoursome and most welcome after a long day.The house is as described, spacious and quite well equipped. Security was thorough, with alarms, grills, and locks on gates.The pool and garden were well maintained and were a welcome respite, especially on warm evenings, and especially as the beach is not really a swimming beach. Go to Perybere for this, which is just a short drive away.Some basics would have been appreciated, like tea and coffee, oil, vinegar, and a few herbs and spices for cooking. More toilet paper was needed for our week-long stay. Unfortunately, the shower drainage in one of the rooms needed attention, as it didn't drain properly, but no doubt will get repaired, as the house is well-maintained.We would recommend anyone to stay here. It's spacious, comfortable, and the rear terrace and pool are standout features.

Beautiful spacious villa, we were well looked after by the lovely housekeeper. Easy access to beach where you could walk along to Cap Malhereux for coffee at Helena’s ( definitely recommended) . We tried many local restaurants, a hire car is a must.

We had such a wonderful week here. The house was spacious and well equipped. How incredible to be able to enjoy both sunrise and sunset from the beach because of the northerly position! Farida kept the house in great condition and the meals she cooked for us were delicious.
