This is my 4th stay at this wonderful location....what a fantastic place to recharge your batteries..Ghis and Mick are the most wonderful hosts and friends who will help/arrange to make your stay relaxing and comfortable..The gardens are a delight to amble through and sit a while, you have use of the veranda and pool, and the studio will meet all your needs....Attention to detail is amazing....A must for this location is a car, as you have a 5 minute drive to the beaches nearby...The owners have a boisterous dog called''Figgie'' ..please beware this is his home, so he is very protective, but loveable...... I would recommend this location for anyone who want peace and quiet....but within distance for exploring the island..........A wonderful location..... |

Gismic was wonderful, spacious, clean and it had everything you could possibly need and more. The gardens are beautiful, the swimming pool a treat after a day out. The icing on the cake though is the owners, Mick and Ghislaine, who could not have been more welcoming, helpful and friendly. For independent visitors to Mauritius I cannot recommend Gismic highly enough. |
