The unique thing about this property is that Gert and Marlene treat everyone as individuals and you soon feel part of the family. They have really taken on board the Mauritian way and that translates into a really relaxed vibe. Wonderful food and a great night's sleep! Highly recommend if you want an authentic experience that is a stone's throw from a paradise beach!

La Tonnelle great stay
Host Denis was very professional, helpful, efficient and friendly. He spoke many languages French, English, German Italian. The staff were very helpful also. The room with garden view was clean, quiet and spacious. Location on main road was easy to find but not noisy. Parking opposite hotel. Restaurant service excellent with set menu or a la carte. Other restaurants and shops within walking. Trou aux Biches beach also walking distance or sit on rock wall watching sunset. The reflection of setting sun on water appears red like fire. Would definitely stay again when in Mauritius

What a wonderful discovery. La Tonnelle is run by a delightful host, Denis, who knows the island inside and out and has lots of wonderful stories and suggestions. The rooms are simple and comfortable, and the hotel is just a few steps away from one of the nicest beaches on the island. Walking distance from restaurants (though food at the hotel is great too) and supermarkets and pharmacy. Though the hotel isn't beachfront, there is a private beach club, where you can rent lounges and umbrellas for a minimal fee, is nearby, so you can still get the resort experience with out paying resort prices.

Noton beach like pics, by has its own dive school
First of all, it NOT on the beach. You must exit the property and either walk across the road for a beach view ONLY (it’s the fish dock). OR walk 400-500 paces for beach access. That being said, the staff were friendly and welcoming and food was good for dinner

The room was a little small for a big guy like me. The staff was helpful and friendly. The beach is across the street, but nicer a little bit down the beach. Restaurants and bars close at hand.

Excellent value for money
Denis and Veronique were excellent hosts. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty but unvaried each day. My room was beautifully clean and recently tastefully redecorated. The only serious downside to the accomodation was the mattress was indescribablely hard (like concrete) to the point that I got a sore back and neck that was only remedied after 3 massages!

La Tonnelle, a beautiful friendly place to stay!
I had a lovely stay after a busy few weeks so enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of La Tonnelle. The room is adequate not luxurious by any means but dinner is an experience, brush up on your French, and you will enjoy the conversation. Even if you don't know much French it is still enjoyable as you sit with all the guests and fabulous food and hospitality. Lovely beach closeby to watch the sunset and paddle.

Excellent b&b that in reality is a 5 stars hotel!
La Tonnelle is clean, well maintained and just few metres from the most beautiful beach in Mauritius, Trou aux biches. The owner is very kind and he is an excellent chef. Every evening we enjoyed his great French/Creole cuisine. Food is fresh and of the highest quality. The dinner takes place in one long and elegant table. Sitting together with the owner, his wife and all the other guests, this makes the atmosphere very friendly, sociable and enjoyble. The feeling of staying at La Tonnelle It is like when you visit a dear old friend or you have dinner with family. We asked the breakfast to be arranged at 6am and the owner had no problem with it, our last day we had the flight at 22pm and the owner had no problem to let us check out anytime we wanted so we could enjoyed the day on the beach. I recommend also the patisserie next door (also belonging to La Tonnelle) where you can enjoy tartes, macarons etc.

Schönes Hotel in direkter Strandnähe. Vor allem hat uns die besondere Atmosphäre gefallen, die durch das sehr zuvorkommende Team gestaltet wurde. Abends essen die Gäste i.d.R. gemeinsam an einem Tisch. So kann man sich mit anderen Gästen über interessante Ausflugziele austauschen. Das ist super wenn man das erste Mal auf Mauritius ist. Uns als Pärchen sind durch die netten Kontakte nie die Ideen für Ausflugsziele ausgegangen. Der Besiter der Anlage und seine Frau essen i.d.R. gemeinsam und geben auf Wunsch weitere Anregungen und stehen für alle Fragen zur Verfügung. Kurz: Super Unterkunft! Wir können es wärmstens empfehlen!
