Wonderful stay

Very short walk into Ganges village. Hosts are an amazing couple. Our suite had fresh flowers on the table, eggs and fresh orange juice and homemade jam in the fridge. Fresh loaf of bread from the Frances Bakery’s wood fired oven dropped off in the morning . Great way to start the day!

Quiet cottage surrounded by a lovely garden

This cottage is walkable into Ganges and provides a good base for exploring Salt Spring Island. The kind provision of eggs, homemade jam and the excellent bread were very welcome. Thank you. Francis Bread and a few other local deli type shops are just up the main road and are excellent. Lovely hosts that chatted when we saw them.

Perfect Getaway

Our stay was everything we were hoping for - it was private, close to amenities, clean, the host was exceptional - friendly, helpful and the loaf of fresh baked bread from the bakery was a beautiful touch. Exactly as described and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice touches

A lovely location close enough to walk to town. Wonderful touches of fresh bread, eggs, milk etc. everything you need for breakfast. The eggs were hard boiled to take on our hikes. I loved falling asleep listening to the frogs in the nearby pond. Thank you. A wonderful spot.

Beautiful Salt Spring Island!

We were greeted with a wonderful loaf of bread from Francis Bakery, homemade jam, homemade orange juice, granola cereal, fresh eggs, butter, milk, tea, coffee and beautiful bouquet of flowers left on the kitchen table; now that’s amazing and thoughtful! Our unit was clean and quiet with your private terrace and bbq surrounded by the owners lovely backyard with fruit trees and vegetable gardens. Walking distance to Ganges, shops and restaurants. Our only drawback was the bed; regrettably not comfortable and very squeaky.

Good place for a couple of nights

This was our first visit to Salt Spring Island. The Island has a lot to offer! Pros: Rural setting within easy walking distance to town. Breakfast food and coffee were provided. Delicious fresh bread from the local bakery. Fresh flowers were a nice welcome gift. Bed was comfortable but as noted by another guest, the bed squeaks. The outdoor patio and grill were nice but the weather prevented us from using it. Cons: It would be helpful to have access to a coffee maker and a microwave. The washer and dryer are shared so we choose to do some hand laundry. We spent our time hiking Daffodil Point and Mount Erskine, dined out two evenings ( Moby’s Tavern and Auntie Pesto’s- made patio reservations for the latter) and enjoyed a drink at the Hastings House. We also visited some of the numerous art galleries, browsed at the Saturday Market, watched the busy sea planes and explored different parts of the Island. The Country Grocer was the best place to buy additional food items. For anyone who is concerned about getting to Victoria’s airport, we found the Web Cam at Fulford Harbor to be very helpful.

Nice spot, but not secluded

We thought this was going to be a secluded cottage property (based on listing description and pics), but it was actually part of a larger building/house which had other tenants staying. Due to the age of the building, it was very easy to hear other people talking, making noise, and lots of natural creaks and sounds which would startle our dog. Nice property, but definitely not reflective of the pictures or description.

Comfortable and perfect location.

This property ticked many boxes. Our dog was welcome, and she had lots of area around the property to enjoy, it was easy walking distance to a dog friendly pub, its in a quiet spot yet easy to find, the walk in to the centre of Ganges was about 10 minutes and it was so nice not to drive. An added bonus was the delicious breakfast goodies. We were very comfortable and enjoy a few days of total relaxation. Highly recommended.

This is a perfect location! Ceila was quick to answer any questions and always available to help. The location was perfect, and the smell of the bakery on property was amazing. I look forward to returning in the summer to make use of the private patio and walking to the market. Place was clean and tidy. However, if we needed anything extra it was easy to ask. Thanks again Celia for the great place.

Overall review

Close to the Ganges center for groceries and supplies. Excellent place to eat close by at Mobys Pub. Warning though no television in the rental just in case you want that. Would suggest more towels available to guests without having to ask. Also instructions on the gate about check in would of been helpful as I just assumed there would be someone there when we arrived. But very peaceful place to relax very quiet and lovely. Thanks

Thank you...We had a wonderful time here. We walked to a beach 10 minutes away and into town for groceries and goodies from the vendors market on Saturday. The suite was clean, quiet, cozy and pet friendly. Our Labradoodle “Nella” also enjoyed herself with all the new sights and smells during our daily long dog walks.
