Lindsay's Labour of Love
Pti Kazye is the fulfilment of one Seychellois man's lifelong dream: to build a hospitality business of his own. Lindsay Farabeau spent eighteen months lovingly shaping every detail, from the architecture to the flavours and the way we welcome our guests. The result is an inspiring celebration of Creole hospitality, local craft and the way islanders truly live.
Sustainable by Choice, Not by Trend
Our sustainability isn't branding—we truly believe in it and we live it:
• Locally sourced produce from farms in our own village
• Zero-waste recipes (our mayo uses the yolks; our gin fizz uses the whites)
• Reclaimed heritage materials, including shutters from the former NYS facility on St Anne
• Solar-powered lights and security systems
• Re-usable glass bottles for our house-infused rums
• Entirely Seychellois team, most living within walking distance
• Creole architecture, designed by us and built by a Seychellois construction company
The Traditional Seychelles Kazye
In Seychelles Creole, pti kazye means 'little fish trap'. The kazye is a touchstone of our cultural heritage and traditional ocean-based way of life. For generations, fishermen in pirogues and katiolos wove bamboo traps for inshore waters long before aeroplanes and imported food arrived. This trap fishing method sustained our people and continues to this day. Our name honours this island tradition.
Nou Wondrous Place
When Lindsay mentioned his love for the 1960s classic Wondrous Place, the celebrated Seychelles singer-songwriter Isham Rath picked up his guitar and began shaping a Creole version of it. That moment stayed with us—and the phrase has found a small but important place in the Pti Kazye story.
