Nestled directly on Mada Island’s beachfront, opposite the Peponi Hotel, this gem of a planation inspired cottage sleeps 1 or 2 couples. Adapted to the local climate and specifically to catch the tropical breeze under high ceilings and louvre shutters.
The main house is open plan with a double bedroom area set to one side of the living space. The guest cottage is equally comfortable and has a private terrace. Both are beautifully decorated.
Surrounded by numerous verandas and terraces, a plunge pool and mature gardens the cottage has direct beach access.
The house comes with a 9metre hardwood canoe with a distinctive 1030’s vibe. There is a generous mattress on the bow for sunbathing or sunset tours with a coffee table for picnics towards the rear. The boat is available for the duration of the stay and will be waiting at the airport when guests arrive andis strictly for use with the Captain.
N.B. Syngué Sabour Cottage and Guest Suite is solar powered therefore the use of hairdryers, air conditioners and other high-consumption electronics is not permitted.
We love this divine cottage with it’s very own, beautiful wood ‘canoe’.
