Start Island HoppingDescription
L'Habitation is an extremely neat, well-run hotel, built on a former coconut plantation, next to the beach on Cerf Island. It is surrounded by a wonderful green garden, and a number or relaxing areas along the shoreline. The lagoon taxi offers a shuttle service to the main island of Mahé, a journey that only takes a few minutes.

Description:
L'Habitation hotel is situated next to the beach on Cerf Island, a small island located in the middle of the protected St. Anne National Park. Nowhere else in the Seychelles will you find such a concentrated number of small islands surrounded by a coral reef, or such a rich underwater fish population. As you can imagine, Cerf Island is therefore very popular for snorkelling.
The other big draw of Cerf is its serene atmosphere, despite being just five minutes away from Mahé by boat. Cerf Island measures just 1 km (0.6 miles) in length, and is completely free from cars. The beautiful beach which borders the island acts as a 'road' of sorts, allowing you to walk (barefoot) to some of Cerf Island's best spots, including the island's two restaurants. One of these hotels is at l'Habitation, and the other is at the Cerf Island Resort. There's also a small scuba diving and snorkelling school on the island.
Due to its proximity to the main island of Mahé, this hotel is particularly popular with travellers visiting the Seychelles. Cerf Island is just 5 minutes away from the main island, and the boat transfers between the islands several times a day, allowing you to stay on Cerf and visit Mahé, complete with its colourful market in the capital. Mahé also offers a number of beaches for you to enjoy. Many of our customers love the mixture of peace and serenity on Cerf, and the accessibility of the lively main island. "Those who want to visit Mahé should stay on Cerf Island", they say.
That's not to say Cerf Island has nothing to offer. Far from it, the island has a perfect location in the middle of a tropical lagoon. L'Habitation hotel is a former coconut plantation, and has a small, but excellent, beach-side restaurant, known for its great international cuisine and its traditional Creole buffet (served at least once a week for dinner). The hotel is modern, and the enormous value for money is rare for the Seychelles. This is the main reason for our special recommendation of L'Habitation.

Very relaxing. The food was good home cooking, breakfast was also OK. The only weak point: 2.5 hours waiting time in the harbor until the boat arrived. There was no information about picking up the boat beforehand!!! The accommodation was also beautifully decorated: Happy Anniversary. Translation (DE): GoogleTranslate
Since there wasn't much going on, we got a wonderful room on the first floor with a huge balcony and sea view... and a pool... WOW! A nice, clean, small, cozy facility, family-owned and you can tell. Very friendly and helpful staff, including the boss. Very good breakfast and a super dinner... It's a good thing we booked this here... the only bar on Cerf only opens when there is excursion traffic by boat... Plenty of loungers by the pool and in the garden...
