A really fun day out. Just do it - Such a fun day. Lots to see and do on the estate, starting with a look at sugar growing, then on to a small animal area, with the happiest looking tortoises we saw on our mega trip around the Indian Ocean and Africa. After that there was a really interesting sector devoted to vanilla production, then anthuriums and on to spice growing. Finally...rum production with our fantastic guide, Christabelle (? Apologies if I've remembered that wrong). We tasted most of the rums they make on site, before having the opportunity to build our own rum blend with fresh fruits and spices, which was bottled and sealed up for us to take home. It's still maturing so no idea what it's going to be like, though it will bring back excellent memories of a really happy day out. Oh, and lunch at the onsite restaurant was delicious too - with rum punch included 🍹

Disaster in St Aubin Mauritius South - I visited this domaine in order to see the vanilla growing process plus other plants growing incl the rum story And rum testing ; the entrance ticket in the Domaine shop cost 650 mru/ person ; it was supposed to be min 1 hour experience ! It was not clearly explained where we should go and meet with my wife our English/ or German speaking guide . Finally we found the next shop like room where we could see on our own the vanilla film . Then a young lady pretended to tell some thing about vanilla process but it was hardly understanble and very short , then we were told to go on our own through their plants field to the restaurant nearby ( what for ???) , we went there , got inside got outside and even found the nearby rum room ! And thiseas all maybe taking all 20 minutes , without anybody later on taken care of us ; so we just went away having paid for this experience 1300 MRU , not knowing more then we knew before , Nothing planned , no information given pure chaos ! Avoid this place as far as possible , maybe they have potential , maybe they are great producer , but organizationally they should learn starting at the basics Pawel and Margarete from Poland
