Rodrigues was discovered by Diego Rodriguez between the 4th and the 9th February 1528. In these days Portuguez and English navigators were using the island of Rodrigues as a reference when sailing to India. Years later after a very long journey in May 1691, Francois Leguat and seven men landed in Rodrigues.

Rodrigues island is considered to be the 'cinderella of the mascarenes'. Situated about 650 hundred kms north-east of Mauritius at approximately Longitude 62 degrees 25 E and Lattitude 19 degrees 42 S. Its greatest length from Pointe Coton in the east to Pointe Mapou in the west is just over 18 kms, its greatest breadth, from Jeantac in the north to Pointe Portsuite in the south is 8 kms.

The landscape is very mountainous and gives beautiful scenery. Mont Limon the highest peak is about 393 mts above sea level. Valleys and hills give the impression that the island is bigger than it seems to be. In the north, the south and the east the mountains slope dangerously towards the sea separated by deep and narrow valleys while in the west the slopes are more smooth.

A colonial style house with three bedrooms set in lovely tropical gardens in a tranquil inland spot on Rodrigues Island at Montagne Bois Noir.

The owners, Marie-Line and Fernand were originally from Belgium but settled on Rodrigues some time ago. Marie started cooking for friends and then groups of travellers brought in by their friends and word spread about the amazing food and the guest house opened five years ago! Since then the business has expanded and there is an impressive industrial kitchen and produce shop selling 'Marie's Island Produce' a selection of honey, spices, chutneys and jams, sausages, salts and much more. Also home made are a selection of aperitifs and wines to be enjoyed with the meals here.

Each of the rooms has en-suite facilities and are individually furnished in bright, clean colours. The lounge and dining areas are full of the owners artifacts and collections from travels.

The gardens were planted around the house and have grown quickly in the tropical climate giving a feeling of being in a tranquil oasis in the middle of this generally barren island. There are chickens, bee hives and fruits growing alongside the flowers and trees.

Lovely colonial style house graciously furnished, situated within a beautiful exotic garden. 3 rooms, each with private WC and bathroom. A single bed can be added in each room.
