Our 13 people group stayed in Madagascar for 13 days & nights. We travelled from Tana to east, stayed some days there and then travelled from east through Tana to Morondava. Morodava was last hotel and place we stayed until the end. In Morondava we stayed in Chez Maggie which was definitely the best choice during our stay in Madagascar.... More

Gary, his wife Baholy and their team made our 9 days with them very enjoyable. Gary organized various trips for us, their staff always put their guests first and the food was outstanding (best in town and safe!). On our last day we had tropical storm Giovanna roar through and the team handled the situation very professionally. Gary made sure... More

Chez Maggie is the most perfect place to relax and unwind. We had just finished a tour with Remote Rivers Tour Company, run by Gary who operates Chez Maggie with his wife Baholy, and found it the best way to end a holiday!! The rooms are clean, cool and comfortable and what's more is that you walk out of your... More

Greetings from Morondava and thanks for staying in touch. We're glad you enjoyed your visit and to know that you're still thinking of us (and the seafood!) after many months. Where does the time go? The Chez Maggie is our home and our goal is to make it a 'home away from home' for all our guests whether they stay... More

Stayed for two nights before and after trip to Grand Tsingy. The service was great, rooms clean and tidy, but most impressive was the food. Some of the best in the country -especially the crab! Will definitely be returning! More

The rooms, service, staff and owners are superb. Wonderful atmosphere matched by a great restuarant and the owners are exceptionally helpful. On my last night Air Madagascar rearranged my flight messing up my itinerary thus forcing my to leave at very short notice. The owners fixed me up a transfer to the airport and a reservation in a hotel in... More

I spent close to two weeks in and out of the Chez Maggie while traveling alone this past summer. As cliche as it sounds, The Chez Maggie and all its staff became a home away from home for me. Gary, the owner, went far out of his way to help me with everything from arranging tours(with GOOD guides) to last... More

Many thanks and we hope you'll be able to stay longer next time! FYI: The record stay at the Chez Maggie stands at 26 nights; the guests from Switzerland (now friends!) returned two years later and stayed 21 nights; AND they are planning to return again in April 2012. Stay warm in the Northland ~ Best Regards, Gary & Baholy... More

We spent two nights at Chez Maggie, the first on the way to the Tsingy - following a very early morning (5am) flight and the second on the way back. We loved this hotel. We were made to feel comfortable and stayed in a gorgeous, very clean bungalow with mezzanine floor for bedroom the first facing the beach directly, the... More

We stayed at Chez Maggie for 2 nights on our way back from the National Park of Tsingy de Bemaraha against the recommendation of our local guide and we regretted our decision almost immediately upon our arrival.
