Situated in the south-east of Mauritius, the domain includes one of the most ancient sugar mill of Mauritius, (now abandonned) that is Ferney and it spreads towards the bay of Mahebourg in the South, to the historic bungalow of "Falaises Rouges" overlooking the "Vieux Grand Port Lagoon"

L'Etoile is definitely the most preserved region of Mauritius. Apart from its English garden and its rivers, the domain counts indigenous woods rich of hundreds of different varieties of plants and trees, including the most ancient ebony trees of Mauritius and other endemic species. This habitat being favourable to the survival of several wild animals, visitors will be able to watch deers, boars, monkeys and bats as well as rare species of birds like the "Cateau vert" and the "Crescerelle".

The landscape being mountainous, the domain offers several viewpoints from which magnificent panoramic views on more than half of Mauritius can be seen; from the central plateaus to the Lion Mountain via the Moka range.

L'Etoile proposes several services and excursions offering different ways of visiting this domain. There is, first of all its "Table d'hôte" where receptions can be organised. It is situated in the main building; previously the hunting camp, this building is also the reception and meeting point for the excursions such as trekking, 4 X 4 ranging, Quad biking, and Mountain-biking

The impressive area of L'Etoile allows that each sport activity has its own set of tracks.
