Excellent Stay

Emilien was so accomodating and kind! We are vegetarians and he prepared meals just for us. He also organized day trips for everyone. Emilien also creates an environment where everyone talks and laughs together. Plus the location cant be beaten. Youre just minutes from the trou d'argente. It is really a special place.

Superb

Very friendly atmosphere, I enjoyed sharing the meals with other guests. Homemade food was tasty. The place Is close to some of the most beautiful beaches of the Island. Wi-Fi was good enough.

The rooster crows well before dawn sometimes....

A relaxing place to base yourself to explore Rodrigues, with excellent breakfasts and dinners!

Our stay at Merlin Guest House for four nights was a real delight. It is situated at the east end of Rodrigues and was easy to find in our rental car (about 40 mins from the airport). There is a car park across the road, which meant the car was out of the way of traffic). The room was spacious with a balcony (from which, one morning, i spotted a Rodrigues Warbler) and the bed was comfortable. The real highlight of our stay was the food that was served. There is no menu and just one communal table. All the food is home cooked and excellent (we never had the same dinner twice) using fresh local produce is used (fresh caught fish for example). Eating with other guests is a great experience (even if our poor French meant for the most part we couldn't always contribute). Breakfast was hearty and again used fresh produce - it really set us up for the day! The Guest House is a few minutes from a lovely beach and, by walking a bit further you can reach secluded little bays that are stunning. Colin arranged a trip to Ile Catherine and Ile aux Coco for us and a couple of other guests, which was a real highlight of our stay. The room was very thoroughly cleaned everyday and all the staff were cheerful and friendly. All in all we could not have experienced a better stay and hopefully one day will be able to return.

Nothing to do with the hotel (this is our fault), but not being French speakers was a slight hinderence as English is not as commonly spoken on Rodrigues (compared with Mauritius). The other guests were all French (mostly visiting from Reunion), but we still enjoyed the communal meals and really appreciated the efforts that everyone made to include us in conversation as much as possible. Otherwise everything was excellent
