Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Takamaka

We received a very friendly welcome. The stay was good and three beaches within walking distance, the way back was a bit strenuous. If you have any questions, you will be very accommodating at any time and we really enjoyed our privacy there and would come back at any time

We can highly recommend Evergreen apartments. They have the most beautiful garden which is kept tidy and which has a rich birdlife. We didn't meet Sherin as she was travelling, but Jaqueline who welcomed us was very welcoming and friendly. Nice place, can only recommend it. Regards Jannik and Anne, Denmark

Michel's guest home exceeded our honeymoon expectations. This beautiful home, up on the hills overlooking the beaches of central/southern Mahe is walking distance (or a short drive if you choose to rent a car) from a calm and peaceful beach as well as a local restaurant which Michel recommended to us...it did not disappoint! My wife and I went there twice and the catch of the day was our favorite. This was one of many recommendations Michel gave to us during out stay. We even got fresh papaya from Michel local tree as a treat. If you decide you want to save some money and eat in, there is a grocery store just down the hill from the house. This air b&b is equip with all the basic cooking supplies you should need. It may be difficult to find the house off the main road, even if using navigation. There is a small sign tacked up to the electric post right as you are supposed to turn off the main road, however we still did not see it easily. We told Michel our expected arrival time and he and his family were keeping an eye for us to help once we were off the main road. We found it easier to located the house off the main road while it was still light out. We would stay here for weeks if we could. Everything is so lush and beautiful and if you look out on the balcony you can see bats flying around in the sky.

Safira was a wonderful host! She was gracious enough to let us check in early. The apartment is a nice size and had an amazing view facing west- the sunsets were lovely! I appreciated the daily cleaning, local recommendations, help making any excursion reservations, and attentiveness to get the hair dryer fixed during our stay. I suggest renting a car because it is a steep climb to the apartment but would highly recommend this place.

Beautiful stay! Hosts available, flexible, proactive. Apartment exactly as described: clean, bright, surrounded by wonderful nature and close to our favourite Island beach: Anse Intendance

We had a lovely stay here with Lucy being such a lovely host making us feel at home at the get go. The rooms were clean and spacious to make a family feel comfortable and at ease. Thanks Maricel! The host Lucy was kind enough to recommend a car with a tour guide who was fantastic for his know-how, friendliness and care. Charges reasonably and ensured to take us at scenic views a few off the beaten path. He also has handy arrangements like ice box, umbrella, cushions etc for a rainy day. We would highly recommend Clinton if you want to explore Seychelles through the eyes of a local. We will definitely be staying at Lucy's for a longer stay the next time around for the warmth and love she has left behind with us.

It was very nice in the house 5 star service and chekin really good

When we arrived at Airbnb, we were down from a bad experience with another host. Well, Agnelle and Francis were the exact opposite and proof of the real Creole welcome! Very kind, helpful, they met us in every way with flexible check-in, also welcoming us with treats and preparing us a dinner (fantastic!), despite only staying one night. The house is perfectly maintained and the neighborhood is very quiet, immersed in greenery and close to the beaches. Although we couldn't see much of Mahe due to the weather we will bring a nice memory of the city thanks to Agnelle and Francis. We will recommend this airbnb to all our friends coming to Seychelles

If you are looking for a very, very well cleaned house, in a quiet strategic place to reach both northern and southern beaches ( by car would be much better than by bus), you are in the right place! Everything is new and clean and Rita is the perfect host. She prepared a fresh lemonade at our arrival, and since my girls liked it a lot, she kindly refill several times. Other valuable plus: dinner and transfer at very reasonable price. Rita was leaving next to us, always ready to satisfy our requests, but leaving us all the privacy we needed.

We loved our stay here. The cottage was surrounded by nature, and the view from the porch was beautiful. It was very private and peaceful, a great place to escape a busy and chaotic world. Our host was lovely, communicative and helpful. She brought fresh fruits often and even a flower one day. The space was sparkly clean and the accessibility to a washing machine for laundry was a bonus. Grateful to have found such a perfect place to stay in Seychelles, hoping to make it back for another stay in the future.

The location of the villa is stunning to walk out of the villa in the morning through the coconut trees and straight on to the pristine white beach was just fabulous. Marlene and her staff at the villa are just fantastic. So helpful and thoughtful. They kept the villa spotless even with my kids dragging in sand each day. Marlene got the coconuts cut down so one day we had fresh coconut water and flesh for breakfast. Another day she came in with a whole papaya. We will definitely be back to stay here again. Can’t wait.

I spend a few nights at Sarah’s place with a group of friends. We had a fantastic stay at Sarah’s s place. Communication was smooth and prompt. The location was ideal, and I felt right at home throughout my stay.

Papayas was just what we needed - simple place to spend a night on Mahe. The rooms were simple and clean but lots of space for the group we had. Papayas is a little far from town and restaurants but easy to get to those with a taxi or lift. Jimmy was really helpful in collecting us from the airport and helping us around town. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much 🩵! Marcella is a wonderful host and inspiring person working a lot for church. The Seychelles has been our best vacay with sunbathing, hiking, snorkeling, diving, Easter church services, surrounded by the most beautiful nature! We loved the Seychelles as well as Marcella's place! It is clean, spacious, well-furnished, and the view is absolutely amazing! Marcella was very responsive, and helped us kindly incl. late check-out. We would not recommend coming without a car but also enjoyed walking to the beach and restaurants sometimes. The location is great for a start, maybe staying in the south or one of the other islands is worth a consideration next time. One downside may be the price. Others are temporary construction noise around, missing refills (e.g. toilet paper) or on request (e.g. salt, trash bags), no AC in the living room, in the bedrooms it didn't always cool down, and parking can be tricky. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, God bless 🙏🏽!

After stays in 2017 and 2018, we were now guests again with Roy and his family. We have already stayed in all 3 apartments and can especially recommend the middle one (= largest with second bedroom, if there should be several people or parents with children) and the top apartment (here we also stayed this year) with great views of the sea. The apartment was super clean and comfortably furnished. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. There is also a washing machine in the bathroom. The location is central on Mahe, a good starting point in all directions. Rental car is necessary. The driveway is very steep but doable (turning off air conditioning helps uphill). The Google Maps directions are incorrect. When you pass the bus depot, you have to keep straight ahead and do not turn right. Many thanks to Roy and his adorable family for the great time! Absolutely recommended!

I Highly recommend Maryse’s place. She and Chris have been amazing host to us. The olive tree residence is 8-10 mins from the city, uphill amidst nature where you can hear the sound of breeze blowing , birds chirping, an amazing view of the ocean and fog at times. It’s overall an amazing place to get a detox from the hustle and bustle of city life. For those who prefer using public transportation, the bus stop is just a minute walk. Airport is approx 15 mins drive by car from the location. There are amazing restaurants at Eden island which is a 10 min drive from the residence. Maryse and Chris are warm and welcoming and have been always responsive to our questions and also guided us with local recommendations. The house was well equipped, spacious and spotless. The garden area is full of flower and fruit plantations. We wish we stayed there longer. Without a second thought, we would book this place when we visit Seychelles again.

Beau Bassin was a very neat and clean space. We appreciated the quiet surroundings and kind helpful neighbors. It was a very good place to stay with a kind and flexible host.

The apartment is just perfect👍, resembling the photos and Kate was a big one after our extended stopover and very flexible on the exit. It's very beautiful and very convenient to access as well as being private. If we come back to the Seychelles we will go back to your place👌.

Good accommodation, very clean and spacious apartment. Everything worked well and Roy was a very responsive and helpful host. His wife surprised us with a plate of fresh fruit and some birthday cake which was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this Airbnb.

Great place, very peaceful and privacy! Sparkling clean and well equipped! You have everything you need for a good stay! The host is very helpful, kind and friendly person! Easy communication all the time! Great hospitality I've never seen! It was a wonderful stay! Strongly recommend!!!

Great place. Very clean, house had all the essentials. Roy was very helpful, and a great host!
