Reviews of The Green Shack

Sébastien was very welcoming and we had a good time with him discussing Mauritian cuisine and culture. We recommend staying at Green Shack to nature lovers and we enjoyed our stay there. The view from the mountain was stunning and food was very good. We wish Sébastien all the best for the future!

The cabin was fairly comfortable, it was peaceful and the view was stunning. The local country food and presentation was typical of the place my wife and I loved. The food was brought up by our host Sebastien. He was always welcoming and ready to make our stay better. Although the cabin concept has not got the frills of a hotel but it has the charm of old time peaceful Mauritian living. We highly recommend it.

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing Sebastien!!!!

This is a soul place in the middle of nature. Peace, silence and such a beautiful energy. Sebastian is putting his heart in this place. I felt very welcomed and home here. I'm truly grateful I had the chance to enjoy this place and I will come back.

The host Sebastien is very kind and welcoming - even bringing us an extra fan as our little one struggled with the heat. Dinner was delicious - a traditional Mauritian meal (several dishes) served in a tiffin that was very filling. Breakfast was wonderful - so many different things such as omelettes/pancakes/fresh fruits delivered by Sebastien himself. The best thing is the peacefulness and the 11/10 breathtaking view. No picture can capture such a view all the way to the sea. A few games are available, bug repellant etc. We love that the place uses solar power and rainwater. Sebastian’s vision for this place in the future is very special and we look forward to one day return again.

A little too hot for our toddler. Would recommend a mosquito net for a more comfortable sleep.

Awesome viewpoint. Seb was a great host. Went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable.

We went in peak summer. So was a bit too hot, given that there was no AC or fan. However, Seb went above and beyond to get us a battery powered fan.

The view of the location was mesmerizing

Just a little bit too hot

I liked the location, because it is very quiet in the nature. You look down to the village and you can even see the bay, bit the Shack is in the nature, like on a little farm, and yet you feel really sage there. You see stars, see and hear animals. It is a little bit up in the mountain, so cool enough at night even without a fan/ ventilator. Sebastien, the owner is really nice and helpful and relaxed. Not the right village, if you look for restaurant or bars.

So far there was no electricity to charge your phone etc. There is no fridge or place to cook. But Sebastien will provide you with hot water for coffee or tea and powerbanks to charge your phone (which works well) to make your stay as convenient as possible for you.

the location was absolutely stunning. Seb really did everything to make our stay as great as possible.

the facilities were very basic, so it was a bit pricey in relation to the facilities that we had.

The breakfast was absolutely impeccable; combined with that gorgeous view and the warmth of the cabin, comfort and contentment went hand in hand. I also loved how clean everything was. The bedsheets were fresh and not a speck of dirt on the floor, which sometimes you would expect with places in the mountains. But not this one, so pleasantly surprised by the good maintenance. The host is absolutely welcoming and friendly as well. We actually booked the place to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and the host, Sebastien, had someone make a homemade birthday cake as a gift to us. We could not have asked for a more welcoming gesture. 🙏Thank you, Greenshack! We look forward to more bookings with you.

As a suggestion for improvement, maybe include some more tools to lit a fire. It was hard trying to start a camp fire with limited tools. Reso maybe? Wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a camp fire and failed miserably. 😂

Gorgeous views away from the crowds up in the hills overlooking the sea and forests. Sebastian was incredibly helpful both before we arrived and afterwards. Also helped take us on a lovely hike to the local stunning waterfall. Included a lovely breakfast and you could also order dinner on top.

Was worried as we needed him to give us lifts (unless you have a 4 by 4) to the shack. It's a 10min walk from where you park but because it rained and I was pregnant we weren't confident to do it. However he was so open and generous with his time and availability it wasn't a problem. He is planning to make the road more accessible in the next year anyway.

Stunning sea views and very peaceful. The host is very welcoming and kind. Great food!!

Beautiful location and views; owner Sebastien was very friendly. Amazing food.

I was awestruck by the postcard-perfect scenery. My whole family was in awe of the place. Even though there was not much to do, we basked in the beauty of nature; we loved the quietness, went for some trekking and spent some quality time with the family. I loved the ecological concept also...we felt reconnected with nature and it was above all a rejuvenating experience.

Nothing that I can complain of!

Beautiful view, great food, great patio, good bed and shower

Nothing

We loved our time up in the mountain, away from daily hustles, and despite the rainy weather our staycation turned out way better than we planned. Sebastian, our wonderful host, was very welcoming and did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I would like to come again once he has his farm project up and running; the idea of picking my own veggies fresh from the farm to cook meals in the outdoor kitchen is something I really look forward to. This time we were pampered by having a hot continental breakfast delivered right at our doorstep by the ever smiling Sebastian. Though we all wished hard for the skies to clear just to have a glimpse of that amazing sunrise, it was not meant to be. Hope we have better luck next time.

Need to rebook on a sunny weekend

Peaceful environment nature and wake up with the bird singing and the sunrise.

You are cut off from the routine. No WiFi, no TV....only family time ... Beautiful view from the cottage... very nice place... 👌
