The property is on a side street in Ganges. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, the area is safe as is the entire island, the property shows owner’s care and the room was clean, but it did not work for us. The room we rented was a “studio” room which shared a small patio area with a second “studio” and, to gain some privacy in your room, you had to keep the blinds/curtains closed at wall time. The property has a list of rules provided to you which were no problem for us, but the note posted in the kitchenette area ($40 additional fee if you do not wash and put away the few plates, glasses and cups) felt unwelcoming when taking into consideration the rate we paid for the room. No room cleaning provided during your stay. Overall, not our “cup of tea”, but everybody’s experience may be different.

Lovely grounds, room was pretty good, walls are not sound proof at all, could hear our neighbors without a problem, don’t go planing to do any meals as there is nothing but a microwave and a bar fridge, only dishes are cups and glasses, no cutlery.

As soon as I drove into the driveway I felt welcome, it was like a miniture rainforest eco system. You’re welcomed by owner and shown to your room, which is clean with its own bathroom and a deck thru the balcony door. There is a common area open to all residents to enjoy coffee, tea, hot chocolate as well as a supply of homemade cookies (delicious). Games book or puzzles to while away some quite time I would definitely not hesitate to come back again. Thank you for a nice stay

Good hotel to stay
Hotel is in a good location, room is little small but comfort and clean, service is good, home stay type of classical hotel. I think hotel charges is high for me when I have to travel long way to Salt Spring Island & in the winter season. Summer will be a good place to stay except the hotel charges.
