Bus to Port Louis departs every 10 minutes, takes about 20 minutes to get there. Also you can get to Flic en Flac beach by bus, but from farther bus stop. Great hosts.

We loved staying at Open Air. The hosts were extremely nice and really helpful. The kitchen was well equipped, and the house was lovely. There was a lot of space in the house as well as good aircondition in one of the two rooms.

Tourist residence including two apartments both with 2 rooms, kitchen, toilet and shower on a total of 70 square meters, is at your disposal. The apartments has a separate entrance and patio or balcony and the kitchen is well equipped for the best self catering. If you one day get tired of your own cooking we can cook for you.. Open Air can offer all kinds of Mauritian dishes, sometimes with a twist of Swedish cuisine. The fruit trees and green plants in our garden are fully utilized to complement the menu. And of course, the tables are located under the mango trees in the open and surrounded by lush greenery. With luck, we will host one of the chameleons and friendly birds that are sometimes seen sleeping on the bran7ches. A more dubious company, as our mango ripened, we have the fruit bats that apparently also loves our mango. We bought the property in 2010 with the desire to be able to serve up to 40 guests and also offer accommodation in a spacious apartment. Renovating both house and garden created Open Air. In 2024 we finalized the building of floor 1 and the second apartmenr could open. During 2020 we updated our security system with CCTV Cameras (24/7) and alarm connected to Brinks.
