About this property

Westover Bed and Breakfasts

  • Our 3 acre property is only a 20min. walk from Ganges. We nestled this clean and quaint cabin in its own cedar grove, separate from the main house.
    Your cabin for two has beautiful natural lighting with pine ceiling, cork floor and a high bed overstuffed with feathers and crisp white linens. Cedar boardwalks to the sweetest no-flush toilet in its own building. Outdoor claw foot tub and wash basin.

    Since COVID I have stopped delivering hot breakfast. I do however, leave my organic granola, muffins, fruit, yogurt and local coffee for you to enjoy in the mornings. Based on people's varied diets, I leave what I think should last for a two day stay. If you feel that you'd like more breakfast items to supplement for day two, please let me know.

Lovely rustic cabin, yummy breakfast items and coffee. Be prepared for mosquitoes! Not a 1 bedroom though, a one room only with very little space for preparing food. Comfy bed and great outdoor shower and tub. Overall we enjoyed our stay and Tara was very helpful getting the wifi to work and provided ice whenever needed.

I had a wonderful stay! Tara was such a lovely, accommodating, and helpful host from start to finish. The property was perfect for my needs; tucked away in nature and a short drive to some beautiful hiking trails. The outside bathtub was an absolute treat and the highlight of my evenings. Plus, the delicious breakfast each morning was the perfect way to start the day. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to escape to nature and find some true tranquility!

The cabin is absolutely adorable and super convenient; just a 5-minute trip from the ferry terminal. The host was lovely and really helpful, and the space itself felt warm and cozy, with a space heater & a wood stove. Tara also left out books and colouring supplies, which was such a nice touch. Breakfast (homemade muffins, yogurt, granola, etc.) was delicious. We also loved that our puppy could come along with us!

I would NEVER knowingly stay where I have to use an “outhouse”! No soap in outhouse. Very little cell service on Salt Spring Island; it took an hour to discover that the cabin was located BEHIND the host’s house down an unmarked back lane. There was no microwave just a BBQ. All water was outside. Thick bush meant lots of mosquitoes. Could not get gas fireplace to work. It was however very private and close to town. Windows were clean. Breakfast granola was scrumptious.

Salt Spring Adventure

We had the most amazing stay at the Westover! Rejuvenating and relaxing stay, best sleep I’ve had in a long time! Amazing outdoor shower/tub and the most amazing homemade granola from Tara who was the most incredible host! We cannot say enough good things about our stay, we’d go back in a heartbeat!💓

Forest bathing bliss! Literally! This woodland cabin experience was exactly what I needed as a retreat. There are many thoughtful touches for comfort and luxury in a rustic setting that I delighted in. Tara is a lovely host and added helpful suggestions for my island explorations.

Sweet Little Getaway in the Woods

This is a special place, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this unique private getaway. Loved being surrounded in trees, peaceful and beautiful. Really enjoyed using the outdoor shower, it was kind of exciting! The bed was super comfortable and room was decorated in a very artistic manner. Thanks for an awesome stay!

perfect.

stayed at the west over BnB for 2 nights an it was great, close enough to town but you feel so private and remote tucked away with the trees. Martin was so kind and welcoming, offering great suggestions for the activities I wanted to do; breakfast was delicious and the outdoor tub under the full moon was magic.

This property was beautiful and provided an amazing, unique experience with the outdoor bathtub under the stars with privacy and beautiful ferns and cedars all around. It is “rustic” and the outhouse can be a bit chilly for those midnight bathroom breaks, but the sleeping accommodations and breakfast were cozy, comfortable and lovely! Breakfast was yummy and Tara was super-helpful in pointing out the must-see and so things on the island. While you can walk into the village for meals from here, in November it’s dark early so it’s likely best to have a vehicle to drive out for meals (although there is a bbq, plates and utensils available). I would recommend this accommodation and experience whole-heartedly to others as a rustic, unique, peaceful retreat experience!
