Good location for visiting Cowichan Bay or Duncan. Quiet, clean, well stocked kitchenette, friendly manager, nice view of the bay from the room and small balcony. We come every year for the Islands Folk Festival.

We stayed here during the BC Bike Race (2026) and couldn't have been happier. The staff were courteous and helpful; our main floor room made for easy access, parking was easy, and there was a hose in the lot to clean the bike before moving it indoors.
The bedding in the room was amazing - we slept so well - and the room was clean, as was the entire property. We took advantage of the hotel breakfast each morning, and it was excellent. The restaurant where the breakfast was served was...

The hotel is just off the main road in Sidney and an easy walk to shops and food. Parking around back is limited, just enough spots for the guests. Inside is very nice, you are treated to snacks and drinks right away, and check in was easy and quick.
The room we stayed in was great, nice size bed, TV (barely used by us) airconditioner we didnt use, just opened the windows. Bath tub is bigger than most of the places I've stayed and was probably my wifes favorite thing about our stay.

Have been wanting to go to SaltSpring Island for over 30 years and we could not have picked a better B&B for our stay. It is about a 10 mile drive past Ganges on a windy, narrow, picturesque road. The B&B is located on a high ridge and from the deck, you can see for miles. On a clear night the lights of Vancouver twinkle in the distance. The beds are beyond comfortable. It was like sleeping in a cloud on a cloud, covered with a cloud. On two of our mornings, we went back to bed to nap and read...

The staff were exceptional. I rested and came away refreshed. Dominic even asked my short self which side of the bed should he put the stool by, he gave a little giggle. Thank you for a blessed time.

We stay yearly, always wonderful. The property is beautiful, comfy beds, clean. Beyond beautiful beach, pretty good breakfast. Was missing stir sticks for cream in the room for the coffee but plenty in the breakfast buffet. Love this place: will always go back. Great friendly staff.

I was on a solo retreat and had the pool area to myself. I loved the special touches of a welcome drink and a bag of goodies for the Halloween season. The views were fabulous and it was a wonderful stay. I only wish I had booked for a longer stay.

Older style motel just off the highway. The rooms are plain but everything sparkling and exceptionally clean. Suite nicely painted, bed comfy with nice linens and furniture updated. The owners and staff extremely friendly and very helpful and willing to assist with everything Looks like they have an regular and returning customers. I was there three days and motel was full all the time but quiet. The room rates are well priced. This would be my go to motel again.

While the weather was cooler than expected we enjoyed the room, the view on the balcony and the food plus cocktails! Highly recommend for a weekend away or a two day escape at any time!

It was a lovely stay. Amazing ocean views from common areas and hosts had perfect balance of friendly but not hovering.
Bed was extremely comfortable and luxurious and fluffy cream towels in ensuite.
Breakfast was mouthwatering and was made-to-order. Gluten-free options also available.
Excellent!
