Gîte Mafate A Pat'
About
In Réunion, Gîte Mafate A Pat' sits in Marla, within the Cirque de Mafate on the island's interior. The guest house occupies a mountain setting in the Cirque de Mafate, a location reached on foot rather than by road.
Guests rate Gîte Mafate A Pat' 4.7 out of 5 based on 176 reviews, a strong standing among those who make the trek into the cirque. The guest house is known among hikers who cross the Cirque de Mafate, and its position in Marla places it within the island's mountainous interior. Saint-Paul lies on the coast below, and the village of Marla sits within the cirque itself.
A Facebook page at facebook.com/MafateAPat/ carries updates about the guest house. The surrounding cirque is part of Réunion's highlands, which hold endemic plants and birds.
First-time visitors should plan for a stay reached on foot, as the Cirque de Mafate has no road access. Réunion Creole is spoken widely in daily life alongside French, so a few words of either help in the villages. The island's interior is mountainous, and walking between villages is the usual way to get around the cirque.
