Bakwa Lodge
Var Brulé, Port Sud-Est, Rodrigues Island, Mauritius – Excellent location - show map
Bakwa lodge is a little gem on beautiful Rodrigues island. Such a quiet and wonderful location, with the (usually empty) beach in front, surrounded by nature, but still in walking distance of a shop and a few eating places. The staff is lovely and very helpful. They organized a scooter to rent, and this was (for me) the perfect way to discover all corners of the island. It‘s also located at the start of the Mourouk-Pt.Coton hike, which is amazing. The semi-attached bungalows are beautifully decorated, nicely made, with outdoor shower (GREAT), a comfy bed, and really all you need also for a longer stay. I definitely recommend this „Bijou“ of place when being on Rodrigues island.
Featuring sea views, Bakwa Lodge in Rodrigues Island features accommodation, free bikes, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. There is a private bathroom with shower in all units, along with free toiletries and a hairdryer. Bakwa Lodge offers a barbecue. Hiking and cycling can be enjoyed nearby, while a car rental service and a private beach area are also available on site. Gravier Beach is 1.4 km from the accommodation, while Francois Leguat Reserve is 15 km from the property. The nearest airport is Sir Gaëtan Duval, 19 km from Bakwa Lodge, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.
