Bella Haven on Saturna.... Oceanfront Beach House.... Perfect Getaway for Two.

BC Reg #H714457739

Bella Haven ("beautiful refuge") is a favourite getaway for many Saturna visitors.
A bright and airy beach house set on a picturesque half-acre, adjacent to our home.
Overlooking Lyall Harbour, you will have front row seats to spectacular summer sunsets and the ever-changing vista.

It's perfect for one or two people looking to experience the uniqueness of Saturna Island and the beauty of the seasons in the Southern Gulf Islands.

Lyall Harbour is safe for swimming.
There are no predators, such as bears or cougars, on Saturna.

We have sought to equip Bella Haven to a high standard and to anticipate your needs for a memorable stay.
The open-plan living space, and the many windows, provide a feeling of spaciousness and light.
Although there are no laundry facilities in the beach house, arrangements can be made, by appointment, to use the washer and dryer in our house if required.

* We must mention our big friendly pooches, Dudley and Angus!
They will greet you from the other side of the fence, but have no access to your patio or living space.
They may be "vocal" upon your arrival but they settle quickly.

Our beautiful and peaceful setting lends itself to relaxation, but is also a perfect home-base for:
- photographers
- hikers
- cyclists
- nature lovers
- star gazers
- scuba divers
- kayakers
- writers
- artists
-beachcombers
....and dreamers

Nearly 50% of Saturna Island is protected by the Gulf Islands National Park. Additional parks bring the total of protected areas close to 70%.
There are breathtaking views and vast areas to explore.
As well, Saturna is one of the premiere land-based whale watching locations in the Gulf Islands.

Saturna is an island of extraordinary, unspoiled beauty.
Make "Bella Haven" YOUR Gulf Island Getaway.... Treat yourself!

Travel to Saturna via BC Ferries or Seair Seaplanes from Vancouver,
and by BC Ferries from Victoria.
*When travelling from Vancouver via BC Ferries in the summer months it's imperative to book reservations WELL in advance.

We had a wonderful stay on Saturna thanks to Sue & Rob & Dudley & Angus and their beautiful vacation cottage. It truly is a cozy and charming place. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was one of the best equipped in a vacation property that we've had and the view & sunsets are even better than the pictures. Sue & Rob are wonderful hosts and Dudley and Angus were the icing on the cake for us. We highly recommend staying at Bella Haven - you won't regret it!

Wow! This is an exceptionally well designed space that is incredibly well appointed and located in an idyllic setting. Sue and Rob have thought about every detail, from the deck with fire table and Weber barbecue (where we also enjoyed watching the rufous hummingbirds) to the sleeping, cooking and other amenities. This is a great place for launching sea kayaks for an exploration of world class paddling waters or just settling in to watch the sunset with a nice glass of wine. Sue and Rob were great hosts and were available to attend to any of our needs, while respecting our privacy. If you are looking for serenity, quiet and dark skies at night with no interruptions, this is the place to go.

Bella Haven is a fantastic place to stay on Saturna Island! The view is amazing, and the guesthouse is thoughtful, cute, and comfortable. The hosts are fantastic and their dogs are adorable. No stay on Saturna would be complete without a trip to the amazing East Point so try and work that in as well. A fantastic getaway.
