Le Chateau de Feuilles, Seychelles (this camp has since closed)

"Beautiful location"

4 nights Arrived 23 Oct 2010
"The Chateau de Feuilles has an excellent location although lacking a little in atmosphere. The rooms are spotless and very comfortable, the Nespresso coffee machine in the room was a real bonus. The staff were all very pleasant.

Our one gripe (and at the time real disappointment) is that the taxi, organised by the hotel, was not there to pick us up from the airport. We had to wait 20 minutes. After 24 hours travelling this was not appreciated. The taxi driver did apologise saying that the previous flight had been late so consequently he was running late. The hotel staff did not mention the taxi until we did and said, as we knew, he was running late because of previous flights. Surely if they knew the situation they could have organised another taxi to be there on time. We were actually 15 minutes late so had we arrived on time then there would have been more than half an hour to wait.

We had a lovely view from our room (10) If we went back to the hotel we would want to be in this room again. Some of the rooms do not have such great views as their view is blocked by other bungalows."

Hotel L'Ocean, Seychelles (this camp has since closed)

"Hotel L'Ocean review"

3 nights Arrived 27 Oct 2010
"We really enjoyed our few days at the Hotel l'Ocean. The location is quiet and if you stay in this hotel you need to ask for Room 7 or 8. These rooms are at the top and have great views. Staff are very pleasant and the pace of life is slow. Good food, lunch and dinner."

"Bishops' Court review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Oct 2008
"Bishops Court is an excellent Guest House although a little off the beaten track. I hadnt realised it would be quite so far from restaurants etc.

Room was beautiful as was view. Staff were excellent and could not have done more for us partcularly when we had a problem with the hire car."

Rusthof Country House, South Africa (this camp has since closed)

"Rusthof Country House review"

2 nights Arrived 26 Oct 2008
"Excellent location, comfy room although it would have been nice to have had a double bed rather than 2 singles pushed together.

Ruth was an excellent hostess and booked restaurant tables for us. She was of great help when I needed to use her computer/email/phone as my father died when we were away."
