Baie Sainte Anne · Praslin · Seychelles

A guest house at the edge of the Vallée de Mai

A & D Holiday Home is a small garden house in Baie Sainte Anne. The listing puts the palm forest 1.1 km away — nearer than the beach, and a world away from a resort.

The coco de mer palm — its giant pleated leaf grows only in the Vallée de Mai, 1.1 km from the gate.

Everything from the front gate

The forest is the nearest thing to the door

Most Praslin stays measure the distance to the beach. Here the shortest walk is into the Vallée de Mai, the UNESCO-listed palm forest where the coco de mer grows. These are the distances printed on the listing, closest first.

The house

A low peach house with a pale green roof

From the photographs, A & D Holiday Home is a single-storey house painted peach, with a pale green roof and arched openings along a covered front veranda. A lawn runs to the road, dotted with potted plants, and dense greenery closes in on every side.

The listing markets it as a comfortable base for both holiday and business visitors, close to Praslin’s main sights. It describes room comfort and a few practical conveniences, and little else — so the rest of this page stays with what can actually be seen or read.

In every room

Four things the description promises

The write-up names these four in-room features. It does not define room categories, sizes or bed types, or say how many rooms there are.

  • Air conditioning

    Stated for each room.

  • Private bathroom

    Each room has its own.

  • Wardrobe

    For storing belongings.

  • Refrigerator

    In the units. A small one also appears beside the bed in the photos.

Photo 3 Veranda — tiled floor, cushioned chairs, a small table, a white bench, a drying rack and the garden beyond

Around the house

A veranda, a kitchen and a table for six

The veranda photograph shows a tiled floor, cushioned chairs, a small table and a white bench, with a clothes-drying rack and a clear view into the garden.

The kitchen photograph shows a freestanding cooker with an oven, a stovetop kettle, a microwave, a large fridge-freezer, a sink, cupboards and worktops. The dining area has a rectangular table with six chairs, a pedestal fan and extra upholstered seating by a curtained window.

One open question. The text does not say whether the kitchen and dining room are private to your booking or shared with other guests, and six chairs do not fix a six-person limit. If self-catering matters to you, please confirm it by email before you book.
