Immigrating to Mauritius with dogs by donoh
Hi Folks, I've done some basic preliminary research regarding immigrating with pets. It seems it is possible, the worst part is 30 day quarantine, which is not nice but still doable. Immigrating to Mauritius is probably a pipe dream for me at ...

Hi, we didn’t have a problem finding a rental house with a dog. You just need to make it clear to the estate agents when you start looking for housing. We did have to returf some of the garden when we left and ensure all furniture was steam ... Read More

I am a keen runner but not having much luck so far with a) the traffic b) the dogs c) the unpleasant harassment that female runners seem to have to put up with when running alone, so I'm looking to find some running buddies in the North (I'm in ...

Furnished house - what does this mean? by GuestPoster66
Hello again What exactly can you expect to have in a fully furnished house. We are packing (moving 3 Jan) at the moment and I'm trying to decide what we are bringing especially re kitchen stuff, lamps, etc. On the rental price is this negotiable or ...

Definitely negotiate on everything - rental prices have come down in the north and there is a glut of housing (although the new road bypassing PL may change that). Don't use an estate agent if you can help it, sites such as this one and Mums/Dads of ... Read More

Hi All, We may be moving to Botswana next year from Mauritius. My two son's would be 14 then and we would prefer to see them schooled in Botswana rather than a boarding school. What are our options now, or do most people send their kids to SA or ... Read More


Searching for Car Hire at Competative Rates! by Islander17
Hi - I am currently hiring a car at a cost of Rs21,000 which in my mind is hugely expensive given that it has no central locking or electric windows and is the size of a match box (although the size is fine - I don't want a big car). I have heard ...

Sorry it's so late Adrian. I have sms'd you the numbers. Good luck Read More


°µÍø½ûÇø Teenagers In Mauritius by Sean Bradshaw
We are in the throws of planning an immigration to Mauritius from South Africa. My wife and I are concerned our Two Teenagers, Thirteen and Fourteen will get bored. Is there much going on for °µÍø½ûÇø teenagers on the Island?

Hi Sean, My kids (12 years old) have fitted in really well at Northfields, it is a transitory school so for one son a lot of his friends left for other countries this year, and also it's a very small school so not as competitive as you might wish ... Read More

Hi, I pay 13000 rs per month for my 2004 nissan march. The guy I rent from did have another car which was newer so it would be more than I pay - but let me know if you want his number. Read More


Best place to buy fresh fish / shellfish / seafood? by the elephant's child
I'm new, so please excuse what is going to be a very ignorant question ... but where is a good place to buy fresh fish and other seafood? I'm in the north and have seen the fresh fish for sale in Grand Baie on the beach, but unfortunately I'm often ...

Don't know what time you go to work, but the fishermen are coming back around 6,30am and are often selling in Trou aux Biches near Triolet Lane. We get our yellowfin tuna from one of the fishermen and it's good quality, fresh and inexpensive ... Read More
