One word: Amazing.
Alright y’all, buckle up—this is gonna be a long one. But trust me, it’s worth the read.
One word: Amazing.
Jay is the ultimate host. I mean it—he sets the gold standard for hospitality. Coming from the U.S., I’m used to a fast-paced lifestyle, but my trip to Mauritius was all about slowing down, soaking in the island vibes, and experiencing something real. And Jay? He delivered big time.
We stayed with him for the entire month of December—yep, a whole month! And let me tell you, not once did I feel like I made the wrong choice. Jay brings a level of warmth and authenticity that’s rare, even in the most luxurious places. He’s one of the last true ambassadors of Mauritian hospitality, and it shows in everything he does.
Forget the soulless 5-star hotels. Sure, they’re fancy, but they often feel sterile and disconnected from the real island life. Jay’s place? It’s the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and connection. You get a clean, well-maintained room (with AC—hallelujah!), a peaceful rooftop tanning spot, and a garden that smells like paradise every morning.
And the breakfast? Holy cow. Fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. It’s like your taste buds get a tropical vacation of their own. Jay combines Western favorites with Mauritian flair, and it’s the kind of meal that makes you excited to wake up.
He even picks you up from the airport with a smile that instantly makes you feel at home. The location is spot-on—just a short drive to postcard-perfect beaches and lively towns. Plus, Jay’s got the inside scoop on all the best activities and local experiences.
Whether you’re looking for a great host, a fantastic chef, or just someone to share a drink and good vibes with—Jay’s your guy. This stay was hands-down the best value for money, and it gave me everything I hoped for: relaxation, discovery, and genuine connection.
10/10. Would do it all over again.

lovely place, in the village posted the flack.
Lovely spacious apartment, clean, good air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen. large balcony with sitting and dining area. overlooking beautiful garden. In non-touristy part of island. delicious local eateries nearby, but also some that maintain tourist standards. Beautiful forest near Bras Déau. Fantastic nice hosts Jay and Henry. Who can also help you with the necessary information. Enjoyed 12 days. Living between the classrooms.

In the centre of Flacq
Warm welcome of the landlord (who lives in the building). The apartment is equipped with everything (from fridge to microwave, safe to toaster, wifi and air conditioner). Clean and nicely decorated it offers a kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and terrace for breakfast (on a lush garden). There are also common areas such as the reading room, the games room, the laundry room and the solarium. Located near the sea and other attractions. Easy parking under the house. Average price. Recommended for exploring the east of the island.

What a welcome and happiness!
Jay invites us to his house, and we feel like a family member right away. Comfort, quiet, hearty and fresh breakfast enjoying the wonderful garden carefully maintained. Advice, help, Jay is perfect for finding the best options. A real pleasure to stay here!

The perfect place to soak up the Mauritian life
This was our first stop in our tour of Mauritius and it was definitely a welcoming one. Jay is the owner and he makes you feel like you are right at home. Waking up in the morning and looking at the superb tropical garden really plunges you into the holiday mode. Henry is very knowledgeable in all things plants that he manicures in their garden and Jay is very helpful and always smiling.
On Post de Flacq, having visited a few places afterwards, I can say there, you are able to experience a more genuine and local life, people are very kind, there is less tourism compared to the north of the island but that makes it a more original experience.
Nearby there is a very good restaurant, which Jay recommended to us and we loved.
