Location is a bit uphill, so I would recommend getting a car, be careful when it's raining too, can be slippery. Rooms are a little bit barebones, and getting to a nearby beach requires driving.

Great peaceful view in the morning, and a comfy place to chill in the evenings, especially on clear nights full of stars. The host is great, she would even cook a fish for us! :) The bed is comfy, there's enough space to cook.

Everything was exceptional - we really felt so spoilt! The road to the chalets is very steep and there are stairs to the chalets - visitors with mobility issues might find it difficult.

This was the most delightful stay - the highlight of our trip! The chalets are at the top of a steep hill - offering the most unbelievable views, from our balcony, of the Beau Vallon Bay, the sea and town and the forest at the back. The chalets are private, in a lovely garden and quiet area. We were met by our super helpful and kind hostess, Celestine, and found a lovely chalet with flowers and a fridge stocked with a welcoming drink (see photo of our coconut drink displayed on our balcony with a view), fruit, milk, water, juice, eggs, bread, butter, jam, etc, ... We had two chalets. Both are spacious, super clean, well furnished and "feels like home". They are equipped with everything - stove, microwave, washing machine, toaster, Weber braai (barbecue), all the "usual" kitchen utensils, iron - even umbrellas for all of us. Celestine checked daily whether we need anything and spoiled us with homemade snacks (the "bread fruit fries" were delicious) and fruit from her lovely garden. She also treated us to a delicious fish. All these wonderful treats were offered out of her kindness. Celestine kindly offered to organise a taxi whenever we needed one and she helped us wherever she could. When "at home", we mostly spent our time sitting on our balcony, enjoying the incredible ever-changing views. We enjoyed walking in the area and felt completely safe. We recommend a visit to the Botanical Garden (in Victoria itself). It is beautifully done and maintained and we saw amazing trees and plants. We went by taxi.

Nothing to mention.

Cozy and comfortable Chalet, fully equipped with all you need, safe, clean, and very well maintained. Situated up on the hill, it offers you an amazing ocean view. The house surrounded by beautiful garden with variety of tropical trees and flowers. It is an ideal place for a peaceful, relaxed holiday filled with the sounds of nature and birds’ singings. The place is 5 minutes driving time to the Beau Vallon Beach, which is a very popular and well-developed area with plenty of restaurants and shops. The staff at place is very polite and well supervised by Maureen, the manager of the Chalets. She been in contact with us in advance of our arrival, arranged for us airport transfer and was responding to all our queries on WhatsApp. She also helped with a car rent, which was organized right on the spot very quickly, within 15 minutes time, and with minimal formalities. Sincere thanks to Selestine, owner the Chalets, she is a very kind, attentive and caring hostess. She treated us daily with delicious food and fruits from her garden.

Our experience at Chepsted Chalets was absolutely faultless. The friendliest of welcomes was accompanied by delicious homemade snacks, which were repeated every day of our stay - a lovely touch. The flat was exceptionally well equipped for self-catering, spotlessly clean and very homely. For the price paid, there really is no better value for money in the Seychelles!

Everything was great.

We really loved our stay here. It's a very quiet place on the hill with beautiful ocean view and sunsets. The owner Celestine is a wonderful host, extra nice, really taking care of her guests, helping with whatever. The chalet with its terrasse is very beautiful, very clean, has good beds, provides everything you need. You find not only fridge and washing machine, also 2 toaster, water cooker, microwave, blender, rice cooker, even barbecue outside, with coal. Fan everywhere, AC in both bedrooms. Really incredible. I never had an apartment like that. Thanks to owner Celestine who made our stay really wonderful, also to helpful Maureen and friendly staff. Hopefully we can come back. We would definitely stay here again. Also our car (Sixt) was very good, new. We can only recommend Sixt with helpful and friendly owner and staff.

No negatives!

The location was beautiful and the host Celestine and Maureen were very accommodating. They even arranged a rental car for us. The chalets are near supermarkets which was convenient and the Beau Vallon beach is very close. There's lots of restaurants around a 5 min ride away.

There are no public restaurants nearby; taxi is surprisingly difficult to catch in the Beau Vallon area. Although it takes only half an hour by walk, there are no pedestrian lanes - a problem not related to Chepsted, but rather the entire Beau Vallon area.

Celestine and her dog Simba, who run the property, are very friendly and responsible, and they always did their best to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. Daily juices squeezed from tropical fruits freshly picked from their garden and delicious tuna Celestine cooked for us a few times for our dinners were bonuses. Open sea view was amazing, especially dramatic during sunsets. Fresh breezes made the use of aircon unnecessary. Our house was equipped with all typical household items, which made our stay comfortable, including washing machine, which is always essential in the tropical weather. The surrounding environment is very calm and peaceful, with lots of wildlife hidden in the trees, such as flying foxes and birds, enjoyable to watch.

Our Chalet with 2 sleeping rooms was great and has been cleaned every day. It is super-safe and you have an amazing view to the sea. The garden is very nice, with many fruit treas. Thanks to Celestine for all and this wonderful breakfast, we still miss it here back home!!

The TV did only have one Channel - a local education channel. We did, However, not notify our host, so they were never given a chance to fix it. Was not really an issue for us.

We arrived a little early, and since we hadn’t set up our local sim cards yet we couldn’t reach the host to let her know we had arrived. Luckily for us, a guy who works there helped us get in touch with the landlady. She gave us a beautiful chalet with stunning views over the Ocean and the jungle. Inside she had prepared a bowl of fruits from the garden, and had even stocked the fridge with bread, fresh juice, beer etc. A great hostess and great employees. Beds are ok, a/c comfortable, room is spacious and extremely clean, views are stunning. The area is silent and feels safe. Highly recommend the outdoor shower (there is a shower indoors too).

Beautiful located! Amazing ocean view from the house. Sleeping was perfect. Our vacation was perfect thanks to Celestine. She met us in the airport. Rented the car for us. The room was cleaned every day including washed dishes. We will back here for the next year!

Nothing at all.

It was a fantastic experience from the beginning till the end. The accomodation was fantastic, very clean and cosy, with a nice terrace with a wonderful view of the hills and sea. Celestine was one of the best hosts we have ever met. She tried to fullfill every our wish, helped us with everything. After our arrival we found free food for breakfast, beer, fruits and fresh juice, she invited us for dinner and prepared a delicious fish etc. Our stay was amazing thanks to her. I can highly recommend her to everybody. I have copied the text from Katerina on booking.com as we made exactly the same experience :-)

nothing but be aware the the guesthouse is up in the mountain so the car has difficulty to go up some of the hills

The management staff and maybe the owner were very dedicated. One ran in the street to and call us to make sure we found our way to the property. It was very helpful since the different GPS had trouble to find the place.

quiet place with beautiful view and kind host

Chepstead Chalets is an amazing place hosted by great team. Celestin an Neros are very kind and wellcoming. the challets are specious and clean. you will have exceptional view from terrace and can sit there for hours and enjoy the ocean. there is bus stop, smal beach and little grocery nearby. you don’t have to rent the car if you don’t want. you can use the bus to go anywhere. the only thing that you would need to know is that the challets are located on the hill and there is a long steep road to the challets…going down is OK but climbing up is not easy for sure…if you dont plan to rent a car then going back to the challet you I suggest taking a taxi that would cost between 10-15Euros.
