Homestays in Victoria

Gernot Austria

Marylene and her Staff don't try to be a hotel or just an accomodation,... they try to make your stay worthwhile! Bernard & his Staff create dinners which are absolutely amazing. We are fairly "picky" eaters and after three meals we just asked him to create something we like, the results have been amazing! Marylene and her staff are always around, if you need anything they will try everything to make it happen: - fruit platter in the afternoon we had once - We did not want to book a rental car and Marylene offered to organize one. - We declined the offer and asked her if she could just organize taxis for us when we need (taxis are rather expensive and sometimes hard to get a hold of) so she sometimes just drove us herself! When we arrived she asked us what we want to do during the stay and we had no clue so she did suggest and organize a few trips. We had the Suite and it's size is absolutely huge! In the Suite every item has charme and Marylene has a story or two to tell about things.

Charlie was REALLY helpful, he saved us from a few problems unrelated to the accommodation. He's a very nice person, he now has got two new friends in Brazil. The room was really nice, great view, very good facilities, spaceful...

The house has 3 large bedrooms (1 with en-suite shower) so it would be ideal for a group or two families. There is an air conditioner in each bedroom and one more in both the living and dining areas, so the house is very comfortable in the local climate. Upon arrival, they were already waiting for us. We found the place thanks to Veronique’s recommendations, but Google maps shows it incorrectly. Large parking. We were also given a compliment from a small set of products and a tray of fruit. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, including oil, salt and pepper, tea and coffee. There is also a microwave. There is also an outdoor grill, but you will need charcoal and also the ability to find fishermen)) There is a washing machine (and powder). The house is protected by an alarm system, which gave it a feeling of security. As already written, sometimes dogs bark and roosters crow around, I’m a light sleeper, but I was okay and we tried to get up early. The Internet was normal, not super-fast, but I downloaded stories normally and the child watched cartoons. The speed depends on the time of day, in the evening it is slower (we noticed this in other places where we lived). The house was super clean, and so was the pool. Veronique and Fadia are always in touch. We spent our first 6 nights there after arriving and it was perfect for us to explore the northern part of the island. Firstly, Port Launay beach - there is perfect snorkelling and quite lively reefs. Secondly, it is very close to the pass with the Morne Blanc Trail and Copolia Trail. There are also water springs where you can refill your water bottles. There is also a tea factory there, it’s very tasty, stop for lunch! It’s also close to Victoria, where probably the island’s only large and good store with fresh fish (STC Hypermarket), I would advise you to go straight to it and buy groceries before arriving at the villa (we also bought papaya there, it’s delicious).

Amazing apartment with a breathtaking view for your morning coffee. Very spacious and well-equipped - I could honestly live there for months. The host was great and allowed us to check in very early in the morning, which was a huge plus. Highly recommend 👌

I had a wonderful time at Papayas and thanks so much to Mary-Ann for embracing me more like a family member than a guest ❤️ Gerald, her husband is a famous former Seychelles international goalkeeper and I enjoyed listening to his stories from back in the day. ❤️ 😃 Thanks for the delicious fruit breakfast which came straight from garden 😋 I had a great experience and highly recommend a stay here. Its probably the cheapest place in all of the Seychelles too 🙏
