Absolutely what we were looking for. Tranquility and off the beaten track. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the host was exceptional. Happy to accommodate us when needed but the cottage was comfortable, cozy and well stocked. Absolutely a place we would come back to.

Beautifully designed cottage. Practical and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen. Patio with full view of nature. Serene and relaxing environment. Great place to get away. Our puppy very much enjoyed sunning himself in the grass. Trails nearby and beaches to explore. Ladysmith nearby for some shopping. Great host. Proactive and great communication.

YOU MUST STAY HERE!!! Backing onto 250 acres, this is paradise! I stayed for a week as a writing retreat and was treated to the utterly over-the-top hospitality and generosity of the hosts and the surroundings. You can't find somewhere more serene and peaceful - in my week there I wandered the trails, met all kinds of wildlife, and enjoyed the silence. The cottage is immaculate and truly one-of-a-kind, and the hosts have thought of everything. It's extremely comfortable and well stocked and the hosts were amazing at checking in. I will absolutely go back and recommend it to anyone and everyone - a total gem of a place!

Truly a beautiful oasis. A whole cabin to yourself. Very private with a meadow as your front porch. We played cards for hours. The hosts put out bird feed upon our arrival so we could enjoy the nature. They even brought bandaids when my partner suffered a small scratch. The kitchen had every amenity you would expect from a nice kitchen. Truly a beautiful location. Easy to get to salt springs and other golf islands. Would recommend this to any couple looking for a relaxing and unique stay. Great quality for the price. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Arbutus Cottage is a hidden gem. The cottage is in a very private location, beautifully built, with lots of attention to detail. A master carpenter must have been at work there. The cottage was very spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. We were touched by the chocolates on the table, fresh strawberries and all sorts of delicious breakfast items in the fridge. Our dog loved playing in the wildflower meadow and sniffing around the woodland. We loved watching all kinds of birds from our porch. The owners have put a lot of effort in, to make Arbutus Cottage a bird and wildlife paradise. Countless nesting boxes, bird feeders and a bug hotel :). Our hosts, Kirily and Denis, were very responsive and kindly left a big list of attractions of the local area on the table. One of our favourite walks was the Cable Bay Trail, as it is an off leash area for dogs. The Crow & Gate Pub was a top choice for our anniversary dinner. The beer garden is stunning, with lots of trees for shade, dogs allowed and the food and service was superb! We would love to return to Arbutus Cottage in the future. Anybody who loves their peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and lots of wildlife, will LOVE this cottage.
