Such a special place, felt like our secret getaway. At the end of a private road, the river house looks over a small river lagoon, with jumping fish, swooping herons and lots of other wildlife. Three minutes walk down a lovely track is a virtually private beach, with proper waves (nice change from the lagoon -- tho lagoon beaches are... More

The River House is situated on the bank of the Rivière du Rempart River and “close” to the sea. From the house, you can see the lights of the hotel Tamarin during the evening. This is to say that it is very easy to reach the “mainland” after an 8-minute walk along the beach. Either Angela or Julie will give... More

My sister and I wrapped up a magical first trip to the island by spending our last 3 nights in this charming guest house. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how the high expectations built up by the descriptions posted here on Trip Advisor - of the rooms, the meals as well as of Angela herself - were met... More

Shopped around for a long time to find a nice place to stay in Mauritius and ended up here. Run by the fantastic Angela this is a fabulous B&B sandwiched between Tamarin beach and the river. You have views of the hills from your bedroom and dinner in town is a stroll up the beach. Highly recommended.

We very much enjoyed staying at The River House. It is well positioned close to the Tamarin Beach, which is a nice sandy safe beach. The B&B is furnished to a very high standard for the price and the proprietress is extremely helpful & knowledgable about all things Mauritian. There are canoes, bodyboards and DVDs available too... We would strongly... More

We spent two nights here Aug 2012. It was a bit tricky to get to at night, but the directions we were given before arrival got us there on the first try. Print them out and take the phone number with you just in case, even if you take a taxi. The owner was away but her lovely neighbour has... More

A lovely little B&B located in a charming wooden riverside house, just a few minutes walk from Tamarin beach. Clean bedrooms with modern bathrooms. We did not use the small pool as we preferred exploring local beaches. Angela is as lovely and accommodating as the other reviews say. She took the time to explain the local culture/history and offer us... More

Beautiful location on the river, near the beach golf course, hotel and beach house. Seclusive and calm, such a relaxed atmosphere! Rooms are a bit small, the bed specially! But the place has so much to offer! We spent one night but it seemed a week. A cosy and wonderful place to visit again

Angela runs a lovely small B&B with a very special atmosphere. The location is lovely and unusual. It's right on a river, but the Tamarin Bay beach with its amazing sunsets is just 200 meters away. The house is in a safe, quiet neighborhood of a few villas nestled between a posh hotel (with a restaurant) and a golf resort,... More

That is certainly the feeling you come away with having stayed at The River House. Angela the owner, is delightful and most accommodating, nothing is too much effort for her. She went to a lot of trouble to make my birthday meal very special. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, decorated in a modern contemporary style. The deck overlooking... More
