We stayed for a couple of nights on reaching Seychelles, in December 2012, before proceeding to La Digue. The guest house was a perfect starting point which reflected everything good about Seychelles- friendly people, good guides, homely, cheerful, relaxed, private, quiet and pleasant.
Vanessa and her colleague looked after us very well. We got a great breakfast, the rooms were always clean and well maintained. You have plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. You are right next to a small beach and rarely disturbed by any hustle bustle. On the flipside it is quite a distance from Beau Vallon beach and Victoria town with a rather infrequent bus service.
Mahe offered a plethora of options and having stayed at another one on our way out we realized how good, economic and comfortable this guest house was. We also got an additional room (stayed in Kapisen) though our booking was for just one double bed room. If you are looking for a nice, quiet and economic option then you have the right choice in the Ocean View Guest House.
