The Mauritius East Coast/Grand Port region
The East Coast tends to be quieter than the Grand Bay area. It is centred around the Isle au Cerf area and Grand River South East is just a few minutes boat ride from the Isle. Exclusive hotels are being located nearby.
Grand River South East is a delightful area with views and nearby beaches, boat rides and a waterfall. This is an unspoilt rural seaside village to get away from the hustle and bustle. There are taxis that can take you on island tours that are very inexpensive. The related local boatmen will take you to, and collect you from, secluded beaches or to the local waterfall or on fishing trips.
As well as a small local beach, the superb beaches of Isle au Cerfs are only a short boat ride away. These have wonderful clear water in the lagoon ideal for snorkling. Watersports are also available, along with bars and restaurants near the main landing stage. Visits to both the quiet restful beaches and the more
commercial end are advised. The Isle also has the nearest golf course along its spine.
Whilst Isle au Cerfs has long been popular for its delightful beaches, the whole area has become more popular in the last few years and several 5* hotels such as the Tousserok and Four Seasons are just a short taxi ride away. This has not detracted from the unspoiled character of Bel Air and Centre of Flacq, the two local towns which still have traditional shops selling everything, sometimes in the same store. Bartering may bring you bargains in some local shops.
The Bel Air, Mauritius / Gran River South East area
The Villa is located on the the fringe of the village and nearby are the well kept local park and beach, the small village store and a shady village centre. The ferry jetty is less than 200 metres from where a free ferry crosses the river to the neighbouring village of Deux Freres. Restaurants are available at the local hotels or in nearby towns. Additionally lunchtime retaurants and beach bar-b-ques are on Isle au Cerfs.
Buses and communal taxis pass the Villa ,but taxis with English speaking drivers are available for trips to local supermarkets or on an island tour that is very inexpensive. The local boatman will take you to and collect you from secluded beaches of Isle au Cerfs or up the river to the waterfall. On this journey you may see monkeys in the trees of the gorge, or shoals of flying fish if you are lucky.
A wide range of watersports are available on Isle au Cerfs. These include parasiling, waterskiing, tube and banana boats. Deep sea fishing for marlin is at nearby Trou de Douce as is a small waterpark. Kayaking on the river is included. Beach barbeques or inshore fishing trips can be arranged with the local boatman. Tourist catamaran and Pirate Boats pass in front of the Villa on a daily basis.
We have found that it is pleasant to walk around the small friendly village during either the day or eveving.

Taxi from airport along coast road 25.00 to 40.00 GBP. Car hire is expensive so taxis are better and readily available in Grand River South .East.
We prefer to use taxis as they are readily available and helpful. The roads can be busy, especially if you visit Port Louis and the rules of the road are not necessarily what you might be used to. It is often better to be dropped off rather than having to search for somewhere to park

Just returned from an incredible holiday in Mauritius! Riverside Cottage really made the holiday very special and convenient. Amenities are perfect, clean, tidy and has everything you need on holiday and more, all I needed to purchase was food! The size is amazing, with many entertaining areas including a very big balcony overlooking the sea and mountains, and another entertaining area with a bar. Great location and accessibility is perfect, even have private taxi drivers! Riverside Cottage is located right where the river meets the sea which means you get great use of the speed boats right on your door step that take you either to the beautiful waterfall (a must see in Mauritius) and then in the other direction, a 7 minute boat ride takes you to paradise island of Ils aux cerfs. On Ils aux cerfs you have the luxury of either being taken to the tourist side and take advantage of all the water sports or you can be dropped of at a private beach at not extra cost – pure luxury! The boat service (Surjulle) will take you when ever you wish to go with such service. Regarding the house, I couldn't have asked for more. Perfect for families, groups and even couples. I highly recommend to stay here. |
