Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We would never known about this little gem of a museum if it had not been for our pool bar waiter mentioning it when we told him we had booked a taxi for the day from the west coast of the island to the south to take in the waterfalls, the seven coloured earth landmarks. The taxi driver said it was the first time this year he had been asked to go there but more than obliged when asked. This part of the island has a very dramatic coastline with big breakers and blue sea. The Museum sits on the edge of the sea, and it is no wonder the poet Robert Hart was inspired by the views from his wonderful house made of coral.

This is a little known free museum dedicated to the Mauritian writer and poet, appreciated by both the French and the English.
The interior setting of his house has been restored and preserved a small stone cottage with a nice garden as you walk to the house. Do go to the back of the house to see the views of the beach and the sea.
On display are some of his letters, books, pictures and plays. There is even a portrait of him, the person accompanying us rather cruelly said that he did not look the type who spent his time writing romantic poetry.
We dropped by on our way to Rochester Falls and worth dropping by for a short while. Irritatingly a lot of the information is in French only.

My day was so amazing. I can't believe it. Really. So much information to grasp. I did take a lot of pictures, however camera is not allowed inside the museum. You did a great job in preserving the place as it used to be centuries ago.
