    The Apartment is spacious and very comfortable. Its very close to the beach and a short walk to the restaurants and takeaways. It was super clean and the owners are very friendly and helpful with booking rental cars, giving tips and general advice. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for a wonderful stay Murline.

    The cooking station was a bit old and rusty but suitable and the cooking pots could have ben newer. Surprisingly it was stormy and rainy Therefore we couldn't use the balcony.

    This was a big house for our own. on the shop floor we had cooking area with living room and a big balcony. On the first floor we had a bed room with big bathroom and also a balcony. On both floors where a climate which worked well. The way to the beach was short and also a Market with all supply of needed food was in short distance. Restauranst could be used also from the existing hotels above the steet. The beach has white sand and is long. The service of the owner of the house was extra ordinary. Organizing a shuttle service for lower price from Airport and jetty. Helping by booking cars or giving other informations. Parking place was there. Changing of towels and bedding every second day. Everyday room service for cleaning and bed accomodation.

    After arriving from the airport late, Murline was kind enough to share her birthday banquet with us. This included some incredible local delights. Everyone was kind and friendly and allowed us to stay a little later while awaiting for our transport to arrive.

    Just a personal thing: sleeping mattress was a little bit to soft.

    Perfect location, close to beau vallon beach but quiet. The apartment was spotless clean, some food as a starter was in the fridge and the view from balcony to mountain side was stunning.

    I really liked everything -from location to service and hospitality it is a five stars experience. The lady anticipated everything we might need and was ready to help us. I could recommend it to any couple with a child - it's quiet, separated from other neighbors and very convenient. It was sparkling clean. Thank you, again!

    We loved the property, but there was construction going on in the neighbourhood which was disturbing and loud but this did stop in the evening.

    The property itself exceeded expectations as it was on two levels with a balcony attached to the bedroom with incredible views of the mountain, which we used more than the garden terrace The hosts greeted us and even provided us with some milk, bread, jam and some eggs which was a nice touch. The property was airy, very clean and a short walk from a beautiful beach and small grocery store.

    It was an amazing stay. Despite the fact that the owners live next door, we had complete privacy. Murlene and her family were incredibly nice and helpful. We lived here with a small child (1.5Y) and everything was ok for her as well. Perfect location for many interesting trips and everyday morning runs on the beach :)

    We had a great stay. Murline was a lovely and helpful host. The apartment was the best we had during our 3-weeks-Seychelles trip, since it was much bigger than expected, very tidy and clean. The location was great, since it was just a 3 minute walk to the beach and the nearest grocery shop. The beach is very touristy but since the apartment is at the west end of it, it was rather quiet there (but not too far away from restaurants and bars etc.)

    No specific dislikes.

    The host greeted us upon arrival and organised transportation from the jetty and to the airport. We requested a cot and it was organised without any problems. The apartment is located near the beach and in walking distance of markets and restaurants/takeaways. The host was super helpful and friendly (there was a short problem with the WiFi that we sorted our in no time, thank you!). The bus stations are close, also Victoria is about 20 min bus ride away. The beach is perfect for families with young kids/toddlers/infants. Overall, a great stay with minimum effort.

    No hot water on the last few days which made our morning showers interesting 🥶😂, but from my experience this isn't unusual on small islands.

    Nice space for a couple, close walk to the beach in Beauvallon/Bel Ombre. Sécure, parking included, not too high in the mountains for walking, but far enough to get a good sense of local living and beautiful view of the mountainside. Owner very nice and hospitable, living on site, so easy to contact if/when needed. Daily cleaning service was a bonus. Mahé, Seychelles well worth the visit. Great island with beautiful landscape, mountains, trekking, beaches, waves, fish, great food and lovely people.

    Nothing really.

    Everything was perfect about our stay at the Cove Holiday Apartment. The hosts, Murline and Gilbert, are super sweet and helpful. They had a small gathering for their 25th wedding anniversary and insisted on inviting me and my wife to join them. Murline also offered to help us get spots on the excursions to Praslin and La Digue which normally get very busy. The location is perfect, few minutes walking distance from the Beau Vallon beach. There's a nearby supermarket, a pharmacy, currency exchange office and plenty of restaurants. Highly recommended!

    The best stay we've had in Seychelles
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe Apartment
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The only thing I can think of is that the water was being heated from the sun, so during cloudy days we had no hot water, but that's a completely common approach in self-catering apartments in Seychelles.

    First of all, the location. It's the heart of civilization by Seychelles standards: it's a 5 min walk from the beach, a supermarket and a bus stop; a 15 min walk from a bunch of restaurants and a 15 min bus ride from Victoria. The terrain is mostly flat, making it easy to walk, which is quite rare for Mahe. We've stayed in several more places around Mahe after the Cove and we've regretted ever leaving the Beau Vallon/Bel Ombre district – all the other places were either located on a hard-to-climb hill, or we had to take a bus to the nearest shop, or the beach was too shallow or too dirty. You can rest assured you won't have any surprises like that when staying in The Cove. The apartment itself is a 2-storey guesthouse completely isolated from the main house. It comes with balconies on both floors and spectacular mountain views (the photos do no justice to it). It's being cleaned on a daily basis, so by the time you get back from the beach it'll be as good as new. The host kindly provided us with some essential groceries on arrival, and helped us find a transfer to and from the apartment for a very fair price. Overall they were super helpful whenever we needed anything, but never disturbed us for no reason. When we come back to Seychelles, we won't be considering any other places but The Cove for our stay :)
