My wife and I spent our anniversary week at Beach Cottages and it was amazing! Located on the beach with stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Beach Cottages was an excellent location for our travel plans for Mahe. It was located next to a grocery shop which had all that you needed. The cottage which is a self catering unit, provided to our every need and more. It was super clean and neat, complete kitchen with fridge, gas stove, microwave, toaster and kettle as well as cutlery and all cooking utensils needed. We were also provided with 10 litres of bottled water which really helped! The bedroom was excellent as it opened on to a balcony with ocean and garden views and it had aircon and a ceiling fan for to keep on cool in the hot and humid weather of Seychelles. The bathroom was super clean with an excellent shower, however, the LED lighting in the bathroom could be a bit brighter. Cleaning services were provided all week except on a Sunday. Beach Cottages also has good WiFi.
Beach Cottages has its own little beach cove which was excellent for a morning or evening swim and for snorkeling as well.
A special mention to Pency and Jane who were excellent hosts and managers as they were very welcoming with warm smiles and provided us with all the information, tips and recommendations that we needed. Pency welcomed us in the very early hours on a Sunday morning as our flight from South Africa was delayed by 6 hours and this was very much appreciated. Jane always checked how our stay was going and if we needed anything whenever we met in the gardens of Beach Cottages. Jane was also very helpful in providing tips on where to shop, snorkel, places to visit, hiking trails to venture on, etc.
We had an excellent time at Beach Cottages and will surely be back someday in the future.
We highly recommend Beach Cottages for your stay on Mahe, Seychelles.

The staff is super kind and helpful. The apartment cleanliness is spotless and they make it with so much care. The location is perfect, very close to the Beau Vallon beach either on foot or even by car (with parking near the beach). Parking at the property, markets nearby and cute birds and nature around. There was always free and fresh water and ice in the room. Also free coffee and tea and plenty of utensils to cook. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The apartment is on the first line with its small beach and sunbeds. We used to swim around here with masks. The apartment has a kitchen, which is very comfortable. Rooms are cozy and large. Our breakfasts were held on a balcony with sea, garden and mountain views. And in the evening, you can take beautiful sunset photos. There are two turtles on the property. They're so cute. We had fresh fish and were offered a barbecue grill. The fish was delicious. Everything is close: shop, bus stop, Beau Vallon beach, the trail in A major is only 25 minutes away, and you can take the bus. And you can also order food in your room for the evening, at a very adequate price. We really liked the fish in Curry sauce, and the banana dessert in caramel.

We stayed here for 3 weeks. We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the accommodation not mention the friendly staff who were always on hand & very obliging. The beachfront location was an absolute winner with snorkeling/swimming/kayaking right on our doorstep. Also just 1 minute walk from the grocery store & a bus stop right at the property entrance. Such convenience! Highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone seeking accommodation in the north of Mahe in the Seychelles. Helene & Tony

We really enjoyed our stay in the beach cottages. A lot of attention is paid to details here. Free water (even 2 bottles already chilled) during the entire stay, the room was cleaned every day. The staff were all very accommodating and very friendly, especially the receptionist and the garden and porter staff. They gave us lots of tips and explained a lot about the island. + own beach access + close to the center (bars & restaurants) + my highlight: the two in-house turtles that you could feed!

The spacious and neat "Anse Soleil" apartment with large bay windows opens onto a beautiful terrace with garden (with deckchairs) and sea views with the Silhouette and North Islands in the background. Even if the splendid Bay of Beau Vallon is 5 minutes away, it is very pleasant to simply enjoy the small and pleasant beach of the peaceful Beach Cottages property.
The welcome from Jane and Mr. Soleil remains warm and unforgettable The entire team knows how to listen and provide quality service.

Most places never quite live up to their publicity photos but Beach Cottages, a short walk from several good restaurants, surpassed them. We did have the best room with sea views on all sides and a balcony where you could sit and watch the sunset, but the view from it was just amazing. The manager showed us all round the apartment - we didnt cook anything but we did use the two pre-filled huge bottles of iced water, which was only one of a lot of amazing touches. A dryer outside to hang your wet clothes on, fast wifi, lots of charging points, a water dispenser, kettle, free coffee and milk, a comfortable bed, decent aircon. A list of food that could be delivered. Service and a clean bed every day. A powerful shower and spacious bathroom. Car parking space. Manager on duty in the day, a security guard at night. A short walk through the gardens to a private beach. Who needs a resort when you have everything here. Absolutely perfect.

A beautiful place to stay, well kept gardens with loungers to star gaze and listened to the waves. A wonderful location with a private beach, secluded from the outside world. Accommodation was perfect, comfortable bedding, personal bathroom, all of a very high standard. Kitchen fully equipped but never used, with so many places to eat within a short distance, it wasn’t necessary. A water dispenser provided cool water. The staff were smiling, pleasant and very helpful with advice and information. Two of the best kept giant tortoises were grateful for any fruit skins in the morning and provided a splendid opportunity to be so close to these amazing creatures. I will certainly stay there again when I next go back to the Seychelles.

We stayed here for four nights. Jane who worked at reception helped us feel at home. She arranged car rental for us, gave us kayaks and life jackets to use for free and even gave us some bananas for breakfast (it is self catering). They had great kitchen facilities, including a coffee maker! The beds are comfy. The water from the shower was always hot! The apartment was clean and such a good price. We were right by the beach. The cottages are quiet and they provide sun loungers and a shower to use outside after going to the beach. They allowed us to check out late on our final day as our flight wasn't until 5pm, no extra cost. Seychelles is a beautiful place and staying here made the experience even more so! Good location for the beach and right next to a mini mart which was handy for getting water.

The accommodation was perfect, there is nothing to complain about. The staff is helpful, courteous and nice.
Everything was perfectly clean, there was always enough drinking water available and the location offers absolute privacy.
The beds were very comfortable.
There is a small supermarket less than a minute away, where you can find almost everything you need.
The bus stop is practically in front of the house.
It was a 5-10 minute walk to Beau Vallon beach.
