Hanneman Holiday Residence

We were very well taken care of by Mannfred and his friendly staff. Actually outstanding service every single day! Our room was very well equipped and the pool was so nice. Wonderful plants and flowers everywhere. The beach was only a very short walk away and many restaurants nearby We would love to come back someday soon!

My friend and I had the most wonderful time at Hanneman residence. Manfred welcomed us with open arms and couldn’t do enough for us. The accommodation was fantastic. Spacious and comfortable. All staff were great. We couldnt have wished for better service. Thank Manfred and crew xxx

The destination of Seychelles for many people will be that out-of-reach, far too expensive, paradise destination that can only be achieved as a once-in-a-lifetime experience such as a Honeymoon or anniversary present. Yet, by staying at Hanneman Holiday Residence, it doesn't have to be, as this property is probably Seychelles' best-kept secret and its most economical. Hanneman's location is ideally placed on the island. Just a short and easy 5-minute walk to one of the finest and most famous beaches in the entire Indian Ocean, Beau Vallon Beach. It is no problem that Hanneman's doesn't serve dinner or lunch, as there are dozens of some of Mahe's best eateries and takeaways just a walk away. But even then, if you fancy a night in your villa, they arrange a delicious local food delivery service on request. You can even cook your own barbeque! Breakfasts are optional but recommended as the chef cooks up a great start to the day and can make most things you ask for, from a fully cooked plate to delicious pancakes. The villas themselves are first-class for the tropics. We were a party of 5 (2 adults, 2 teenagers, and a 6 yr old) and had so much space in the duplex. The air conditioning and fans maintained the coolness needed and with a huge kitchen, open plan dining room and living room, three balconies, and two en suite bedrooms we never got in each other's way. I would recommend that you rent a car (again can be arranged through Hanneman's) and you can park securely right outside of your room. The pool is a good size and despite the residence being full at Easter time when we stayed, we were the only people in it for most of the time - it seemed like our own private pool. And that's the essence of Hanneman's, although there are a couple of penthouses and studios and four duplex's - the place is never crowded. The security is impeccable, with 24-hour security personnel (David and Joe are the night watchmen) and electronic keys to come in and out of the properties at all times. But although the facilities are more than one could ask for, it is the people (and kittens and turtles - more on that at the end) that make a place special. Hanneman's is run by the most affable, personable, friendly, and humourous guy you can imagine. Manfred, a former hotel manager himself, is on hand to offer advice or help with anything his guests need, whether it's administration enquiries or extra water for the room. It is well worth sitting down with him for a coffee or a glass of wine to listen to his stories of Seychelles and his experiences in life. He is backed up by Santale, who runs the property like clockwork in the relaxed manner that most guests would like on holiday. Add to them, their team of housekeepers who make the rooms immaculate each day, and their fantastic Chef make Hanneman's #1 in Mahe. A last word to the four-legged friends who add more personality to the place. At the time of writing, a group of friendly kittens lounge arou

We were really surprise after reading all the positive reviews to arrive in a appartement like that. It was old There was almost no light, only one window with a big useless furniture in front of it There was a lot of humidity with a terrible smell ABSOLUTELY NOT CLEAN ! (See the pictures) - the floor was covered with hair and dust, won't even talk about the corners - there was mold in the bathroom - the furniture and counters were filthy (I should have take the cleaning paper I used in picture 🤢) - all the equipment like microwave and toaster were probably never cleaned - there were dirty spots, hairs and one dead bug in the sheet 🤢 Owner adorable, good location, spacious appartement but clearly that all this place has, everything else is terrible, especially for 180€ /night ! We are glad we booked only one night, it was our last, what a last impression of the Seychelles...
