Reviews of Colonial cocoon studio

clean, comfortable apartment, nicely furnished with a good bed and nice host family - also check-in time can be flexible. We also enjoyed the warm evenings on the terrace. Good restaurants in walking distance and no problem to park the car in front of the house.

Life is made of encounters, and only rarely do we experience ones so unique and precious that they stay with us long after we’ve left. I had the privilege of living such a moment during my stay at Colonial and I want to thank you with all my heart for allowing me to discover not just your beautiful heritage, but also the warmth and generosity you shared so freely. Kindness and hospitality are the soul of this business, but you’ve gone beyond—infusing every detail of your amenities, the quality of your accommodations, and your unwavering availability with genuine heart. It didn’t just make my visit to the island memorable; it made it transcendent. Next time, I may not explore much at all—I’ll be too content staying right where I am, thanks to the peace and comfort you provided. Until then, I carry your kindness with me. With deepest gratitude,

Still thinking about it.

Awesome host, who was very responsive. Property was right next-door to a supermarket in a few minutes away from great hiking.

Location was difficult to find, but we were able to contact the host who came in met us and showed us where to go

very nice studio, close to the Morne brabant, chamarel, black river park, etc...

This one bedroom apartment was perfect for what we needed for a few days. Super close/walking distance to supermarket. Kitchen has all the basic needs for making meals. Host was very lovely and had good communication through booking.com app. Host even washed and folded our clothes for us. Bed was comfortable and wifi was great.

The owners are so kind and hospitable people, and did everything possible for me, including buying a new microwave (because the old one stopped working) and driving me to Chamarel as I didn't have a car! The apartment was comfortable and spacious, with good WiFi, air conditioning, terrace, coffee maker, etc. Will definitely come back when I'm in Mauritius again! Thank you Didier and Desirée!

Big studio and comfortable bedroom

None

Accommodation very clean and comfortable. In the kitchen, everything is needed, including oil, salt and pepper. Everyday the owners asked us if everything was fine and if we needed anything.

Lovely apartment on a quiet residential street close to amenities. Very well equipped.

Nothing the hosts could do, but be warned there were lots of mosquitoes around.

Désiré and Didier are such great host. They went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Voicing my wish to get to Le Morne Beach and asking how to get there was directly responded to with them organising their nephews to get me there and Didier to pick me up later. Even though I did not went because of heavy rain. Either way, Didier and Désiré are really unique and hart working people. With regard to the apartment, it was flawless as well. I had everything I need and all was nice and clean. A stay at Colonial Cocoon Studio is definitely worth it.

I knew it before booking, but just as a notification one should be aware that La Gaulette does not has a beach. This does not diminish the quality of the apartment itself, though. It is the perfect spot for a tour to Le Morne Brabant or Chamarel with the Chamarel waterfall and the Seven Colored Earth, for example.

Great place to stay. It has everything you need, clean and quiet. The owners are nice people.

Nice and cozy apartment, perfect for exploring the area. Great place to disconnect and recharge.

Very clean & functional.

Close to beach but the beach is not for swimming at all.

Everything was great, the apartment is super clean and comfortable, AC working well, the area is calm, big shop and bus stop are just a few steps away. But the best part about this accommodation is the hosting family. I had a fantastic time, talking with Désiré and Didier, they really made me feel at home and were helpful in so many ways. Désiré even cut aloe vera from her garden to help me with ant bites :) I really recommend this place!

Nothing really, maybe just the location....La Gaulette is absolutely charming village, but it can be quite complicated to get to beaches or other places if you don't have a rental car. The hosts were really helpful to find a solution though, so not a big deal.

The janitor was super nice

Nothing

The owners went out of the way to accommodate us. They even showed us the area and assisted in having the scooter I rented to be exchanged, due to the first one giving problems. They are really great hosts.

- The kitchen was well equipped and even had a big refrigerator with a separate fridge - The terrace was big and we were able to see the sun set over the ocean - location: Supermarket and bus stop close by - the landlord and his family are great hosts and always willing to help
