The rebirth of elegance at Labourdonnais, Mauritius
Labourdonnais, an iconic Port Louis landmark recently underwent an 'extreme makeover'. A spirit of renewal has been clearly evident throughout the Labourdonnais during its recent refurbishment. Conceptualised by the best team of interior designers, the new and elegant look of the Labourdonnais beautifully captures the essence of the Hotel. Every little detail has been carefully thought out, upgraded and perfected across every aspect of the guest experience at this legendary destination, the first truly world class 5-star business hotel in Mauritius. The designers commissioned a set of abstracts by Peter Pharoah for the landings of each of the five levels of accommodation space. Labourdonnais offers many options for the modern traveller - an entirely renovated ground floor, an Executive Floor and Lounge, advanced new business facilities and superb new bars and restaurants - each adds up to offer our guests not just a business trip, but the ultimate in luxury experiences. Labourdonnais are committed to the same welcome, the same refinement and the same excellence in service that guests have always enjoyed. Whether it is your first visit or you are a loyal returning guest, they will endeavour to make you feel at home.

It's Official, we found the Middle of Nowhere
You never know what's on the other side unless you go and take a look...
And that's just what I did on Friday when I set off in my Swift Lite E from Rheenendal in Knysna and ended up in a goat field somewhere in the Free State.
