Gîte Le Kerval
About
On Réunion, Gîte Le Kerval occupies a spot at Marla, Cirque de Mafate, Saint-Paul 97460, Reunión, deep inside the island's mountain cirque. The gîte is known for its position in Mafate, a car-free basin reached only on foot, which shapes every visit. Hikers who stay here trade road access for quiet and mountain views, and the setting itself is the draw.
First-time visitors should plan for a walk in and out, since Mafate has no roads and supplies arrive on foot or by helicopter. Nights in the cirque are cooler than on the coast, and the dry season from May to November brings the clearest conditions. Guests can expect simple mountain accommodation rather than resort comforts.
Visitors rate the gîte at 4.9 out of 5 across 182 reviews, a strong record that reflects how well the stay suits walkers. That volume of feedback is high for a mountain refuge, which points to steady custom from hikers on the Mafate trails.
Reaching the gîte from the main towns means driving to a trailhead and continuing on foot, so Saint-Paul and the coastal resorts are the usual starting points. Réunion's staple cari, a curry of meat, fish or vegetables with rice and rougail, is the kind of meal walkers look for after a day on the paths.
