6 month stay

Welcome Major Tom,

Many Expats live either in the North-East (Grand Baie / Pèreybère area) which is busy, has nightclubs, restaurants, shops, and many tourists (when not in lockdown of course); or in the West (Tamarin / Black River area) which is a little more laid-back although all the necessary groceries are available in shopping centres nearby, and there are fast-food outlets and some good restaurants.

I am guessing from what you say that you will enjoy the Black River area more because it is a little quieter than Grand Baie.

take a look at a selection of rental properties here:

Thank you for that yes the west seems better for us

Thanks
