Tucked away on the South West coast of Vancouver Island, lies the perfect haven with both forest and beach for you to enjoy. Spend time in the hot tub, looking out over the Salish Sea and you might spot some whales! Walk down the forest path along the creek to the beach and explore the many tide pools and fossil beds to the North. Watch for our resident eagles and seals. Ocean, garden, and mountain views.
