@KC_ Apologies if I misled you, what I was referring to was an email from an estate agent that was marketing a particular property development. They were offering approx. 25% reduction from the original price. Which either illustrates that it was ... Read More

Dear all My husband and I are hoping to move to Mauritius from the UK next year and were wondering if there are any pickleball players in Mauritius? Thanks everyone :) Louise
Yes in theory as we have a net, apart from there are no badminton courts here in the west. Closest I believe are in Rose Hill (unless anyone can advise me differently). You can't play on a padel court because of the barriers around the court. ... Read More

Dear all My husband and I are hoping to move to Mauritius from the UK next year and were wondering if there are any pickleball players in Mauritius? Thanks everyone :) Louise
Yes but we would like to play other people on a hard (purpose) court. They seem to be building a lot of padel courts here but it would be much cheaper to create proper pickleball courts as you can play indoors or outdoors. Read More
