Amenities & Outdoor

Chez Pierre on Leisure Isle provides free bikes for guest use and a seasonal outdoor salt-water swimming pool with sun loungers. The property includes a covered terrace with a deck extending to the pool, plus a shared lounge and honesty bar. An inverter generator keeps the guest house unaffected by loadshedding.

Rooms & Accommodations

The guesthouse offers six double rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and a smart flatscreen TV. Room types include the Junior Suite and the King Suite with Balcony, which includes a terrace overlooking the pool. The nautical-inspired decor and Tintin-themed comic walls create a distinctive atmosphere throughout the rooms.

Dining & Breakfast

Each morning, Chez Pierre serves a handcrafted artisanal breakfast that includes Belgian waffles prepared by the Belgian-born hosts. The waffles are also available for purchase frozen to take home. Guests can use the honesty bar for self-serve drinks on the terrace or by the pool.

Location & Activities

The guesthouse sits on Leisure Isle, a safe, fenced island surrounded by a 10km lagoon with direct access to nature reserves. East Head, offering views over the Indian Ocean, is only 2 km away. Guests can borrow free bikes to cycle around the island or join guided walking and cultural tours easily arranged from the hotel.

Pet-Friendly & Family

Chez Pierre has four resident dogs that roam freely on the property, and additional pets are allowed on request. The guesthouse offers family rooms, including the Junior Suite with a separate children's room and bunk beds. A kid-friendly buffet and family-sized suites make the guesthouse suitable for families with children.
