Saint Aubin Colonial House – Riviere des Anguilles Mauritius.
The Saint Aubin colonial house at Riviere des Anguilles is an elegant plantation house which offers an original visit in its garden and its traditional rum distillery.
The Saint Aubin house was built in 1819. It has been home to several managers of the sugar estate, before being renovated in the 90's to preserve a part of the Mauritian heritage. Today one may still see the beams and shipmast used in the construction.

The estate produces no longer sugar cane but delicious agricultural rum is stiil being manufactured at the distillery. At “La Maison de la Vanille”, you will discover the lengthy transformation process of the vanilla orchid: from the flower to the aromatic pod. The best vanilla pods are exported while the remainder are used in the restaurant. The traditionally furnished house makes a splendid setting for a meal featuring typical Mauritian dishes, including classics such as palm heart salad or vanilla chicken.
