Cob Cottage

Channel the pursuit of pause in this one-of-a-kind earth house. The cozy retreat was hand-sculpted using local and sustainable natural materials, and features a central living space with cantilevered slab stairs leading to the loft bedroom. Guests have access to the entire cottage and surrounding property. We live in the neighbouring house, and are happy to give advice or answer questions to help you make the most of your stay. The neighborhood is quite rural and mostly agricultural with several farms and a small private vineyard. The home is a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 20 minute walk from a family grocery and deli specializing in local organic produce. Mayne Island has a small community bus. Times and routes are limited, particularly in the winter. It will stop at the driveway. We also have an official hitch hiking system with signed Car Stops where you can wait for a ride. Usually you don't have to wait long. We are happy to offer pickup and drop off at the ferry dock as a courtesy to encourage car-free travellers, on days when the community bus is not running. Please let us know ahead of time that you'll be coming without your own transportation, and we will make sure that either we or the community bus (which will drop you off at our driveway) are there to meet you when your ferry arrives. The BC Ferries terminals near Victoria and Vancouver are easily reachable via public transit from their respective airports and downtowns.

Saltaire Cottage

AlexandruRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Tesja's cottage was the perfect, peaceful getaway we were hoping for our mini honeymoon. The cottage was immaculately clean, and had everything we needed: a BBQ, private hot tub and the add-on firepit was a nice addition to our stay. Her homemade and curated breakfast selections that awaited us was the cherry on top. Surrounded by nature, birds, and occasional deer, Tesja's cottage gave us a chance to unplug, relax and enjoy everything Salt Spring had to offer: nature, and a short drive away from the Ganges. Communication before and during our stay was great. We wouldn't hesitate to return in the future when in need of peaceful staycation.

Trincomali Guesthouse, Galiano Island

KabirRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Larissa and Josh were the most wonderful hosts, some of the best I’ve ever encountered on my airbnb journeys. They were extra accommodating as we had our baby with us, and have a wonderful cafe as well where we tested some amazing treats. First time going to Galiano but if I go back that’s where I’m staying, the place was pristine, big and the views from the patio, living room and bedroom and stunning, you can ask all my IG likes and comments lol Thank you for a memorable weekend!
