    Bed is too short and pillows were not very comfortable in the Africa room, beach is not really inviting for swimming. Included breakfast would be a nice.

    Amazing setting, perfect to relax in touch with nature, gorgeous views, attention to detail when it comes to decoration of both interior and exterior.

    Without hesitation, it was the best hotel that we've ever experienced! The facility is located in an amazing setting (you can see the Morne Brabant, the ocean...) ; the room (African one) was awesome : very comfortable and spacious ; the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We tried once the Maurician dinner prepared by a staff member. It was really delicious and the portions were generous. It's possible to borrow a canoe to explore the surrounding area (we enjoyed a lot!). The villa offers other activities and services such as breakfast, yoga classes, massages... If you go to Mauricius, you definitely must stay at this place !

    We had a very relaxing stay in this charming, quaint place with a gorgeous view of Le Morne mountain. The host was very kind, helpful and commited to make sure we had an unfogetable time. She is a certified yoga teacher and there's no better way to start the day than with an early Yoga Session in a beautiful garden, right next to the ocean and hearing just singing birds around you. We wish we would have stayed longer at this wonderful place!

    When we first stumbled upon this accommodation, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch! But everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Our hosts, Annick and Jean-Pierre, are the most thoughtful, gracious hosts (even when we called Annick for the pad key number which she had already sent us - twice!). They provided us with all the information we needed and showed us around the place. The spot is absolutely magic, with a view to die for overlooking not only the lagoon but also a UNESCO site mountain. It is just perfect! The place is compact and contains everything one needs. The bed is super comfortable, the outside shower is something one must not miss, and the quaint veranda overlooking the lagoon is excellent. I know I am repeating myself, but the location is just incredible - you literally hear the waves licking against the side of the room at night and wake up with a lagoon literally at your feet. Annick had excellent restaurant recommendations and for the overall area, and was of great help. Thanks Annick and Jean-Pierre for opening the doors of Harmonie to us. We had a wonderful weekend and will be back for sure (we will order some extra sun next time)

    I hadn’t realised you couldn’t swim in the inlet directly from the property- the water is muddy and far too shallow to swim. So you either have to paddle out in the kayak or drive to the beach. There is a small pool for cooling off though.

    It was a quiet idyllic refuge, surrounded by the inlet water with lots of areas to relax outside by the pool, in the hammock or around the barbecue, or under cover in the indoor and outdoor living areas. There are good facilities for self catering. A lovely place to unwind. The hosts, Jean-Pierre and family, are very welcoming and friendly.

    the kitchen could use a big cleaning. we had the pushmere room, which is the only room with no seaview and no own terrace.

    really nice garden and house, with the perfect view to the mountain Le Morne. The garden is really great. The check in was easy and the communication with the hosts was also very easy. you have to notice that you share the kitchen and the other rooms of the house with other people, but it was nice for us and you have enough space. you need a car to get around.

    The property is in need of refurbishment however that is somewhat reflected in the price. The cleaning standards are low.

    Location is great, nice view and great beach and the option to use the kayaks is great, you will need a car to move around as the place is not easy accessable if you don't have a car.

    No email received regarding check in instructions so I sent a WhatsApp to the owner's wife saying I would come early but didn't need the room, just happy to sit in the garden. I was then reprimanded by her husband for arriving early and interrupting his meeting. That left me feeling quite upset.

    Many of the furnitures have been dusty - I am sensitive for it, so most travellers might not even notice.

    Incredible location, marvellous view, super friendly and helpful host! We've spend 3 nights here in September, perfect place to stay if you want to explore Le Morne region. The most beautiful and colorful sunset I've even seen! Well prepared shared kitchen, where you can prepare your own meal.

    Amazing house in a tranquil and beautiful environment. Everything there that you might need to have a most pleasant time in a beautiful tropical garden. Close enough to infrastructure (super market, shops, restaurants a few minutes by car) but far enough from everything to be absolutely quiet.

    The only place in Mauritius we have stayed twice (African room – 3 nights; Hemingway retreat – 3 nights) during our 2 weeks trip and it was still not enough. Both rooms are very tasteful and aesthetic decorated, with pleasant beds and with a rare opportunity to have outside shower. The place itself is peaceful, but very welcoming, smiling and lovely hosts make it much more valuable. Anne is very helpful and gave us great tips for everything we were interested in. Thank you, Anne and Jean Pierre, for the opportunity to stay at your lovely home second time, very unexpected and without pre-reservation. Special thanks to Ludo for organising a very memorable hiking and very delicious dinners. BBQ was really the best of the best we have tried in Mauritius. And yes, there are some small living creatures, as everywhere in natural-friendly places, which live their own life and belong to here but they are harmless even if at first it seems a bit scaring or unusual. The environment is idyllic. Sunsets are stunning, but sunrises are even more fascinating with incredible colours, calmness and a dramatic landscape of the Le Morne. There are many places which can create a mood, but there are a few which can build a character and the Harmonie indeed belongs to them.

    My husband was not keen on sharing the fridge with the other guests.

    Harmonie is situated at the end of a little island - connected to the mainland by a short bridge. From our room and specially from the pool area the view towards the Morne mountain is unrestricted. What I liked most of all that Harmonie is a small accommodation with tastefully decorated rooms with impeccable eye for detail. We stated in the Africa room. Most wonderful is that it is very peaceful and quiet with nice seating areas, including a covered double sunbed. Absolutely a place I would like to return to next time I come to Mauritius

    The host was quite rude ! The second Day of our stay, we've telled him about the mosquitoes , asking for solutions to the itchiness and the answer was"Allez raconter ça à quelqu'un d'autre" ( Dont bother me with that, go tell someone else) We also had some problems with the toilet flush going completly off . The smell was awful and after 3 days of "maintenance" , the host litterally accused us in a very supercilious way to having done this intentionaly by turning off the water ( there was a crank close to the toilet door ) Also , the host was very nosy during ALL our stay , coming at any time in the evening scrutting our pots when we were making dinner, turning the hood on , complaining about the barbecue we moved (litterally 10 cm) ... He makes us really really uncomfortable PS : There is plenty of very good spots to stay and the Island is truly magnificient

    The cleaning Lady who is just amazing ! Doing such a good job

    Not value for money at all; Communal kitchen, which was dirty most of the time. The photos etc, suggests the sea & beach surrounds the property, no beach & the sea is shallow/ankle depth for 100m+ in Chalet inside was uncomfortable/cramped, no hot water. Poor mattress, dirty cover sheet, some pillows had no covers & needs replacement No internet in the chalet....didn't really bother, but if you need it.......?

    In serious need of a spring clean. I'm from Africa and use to nature and camping. I completely accept that the insects is part of nature and not a sign of being dirty, but the dust is something else. My husband normally suffers from allergies, but even I struggled a lot here. If you move the mosquito net then dust flies everywhere. The same on top and underneath the furniture where you can see it hasn't been cleaned in a while. There's nothing wrong with the place, and it could be fantastic given the surroundings, it just needs a good clean. There was a dirty glass next to the sink with some kind of brown residue.... Again just speaks to more attention being needed in the cleaning department. We stayed in several places all over Mauritius and this is the only place this was an issue. Its minor but it makes a big difference. The bath that is in the pictures is not located in the same sport anymore. I was very much looking forward to taking a bath there. It's been replaced by a shower.

    The location is exceptional, gorgeous views, so peaceful. Nice bedding. Charming little house.
