Set among mango trees at the end of Ampangorinana's beach, this delightful guesthouse offers four stylish rooms, each with a veranda. For extra privacy, there are two more rooms next door. Local wood carvings grace the lounge and lush garden and there's a spring-fed infinity pool. South African owner Marcine is a mine of local information and serves superb food.
There are various nooks in the garden for relaxing with a book or gazing out to sea. Massages are also available. If you feel more active, hire the kayak (per day Ar50,000) or a stand-up paddleboard (Ar40,000). Marcine also arranges tours including Nosy Tanikely (per person Ar60 000), Parc National Lokobe (per person Ar80,000) and a boat cruise around the island (per person Ar60,000, two hours).
