"The ocean views and private beach experience here was unparalleled, like next level. We did have some issues with "yurt living" that simply did not align with the cost for us, as the toilet burped up at us and backed up into our suite on our first morning. While it was responded to promptly as a clog, we ended up having to remove the sewage using a towel as the owners had a miscommunication. We were made to feel like we should be more understanding of their personal situation and were...

Love this hotel!!! It’s such a good deal. We got an amazing large room with view. It’s in the perfect location, close to the harbour, theatre, downtown shop and cute restaurants. We could walk anywhere we needed to go. The room was clean, looks new and had big comfy beds. The hotel is quiet and feels safe. The staff was very friendly. They even called up to our room after check-in to make sure we had all we needed. Will definitely stay here again and would recommend to others!

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...

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...
