It was a truly wonderful B&B, and everything was perfectly arranged. The breakfast was also delicious. Karey and Howie are such kind hosts. When we were feeling anxious because we couldn’t go to Kelowna due to the wildfires, they were very supportive. I highly recommend this B&B. Next time, I’d like to stay for a longer period.

The room was so very comfortable. All the amenities we needed were provided; a microwave, toaster, kettle, small fridge... and our host was so welcoming! The location is beautiful, quiet, and close to the Butchart Gardens. There's lovely dogs on the property if you want to meet them (which we of course did!); we are sorry that we only had one night in our schedule to stay.

Oh it was lovely thank you so much to our hosts. Thoroughly recommend the walk down to the cove (walk down inverness road and follow path downhill) to see the seals. No problems and excellent value for money. I'd say, grab it if it's available for your dates.

Howie & Karen were tremendous hosts and made my family and I feel extremely welcomed! They were even super cool with accomadating last minute changes to my booking. My two boys had a blast and they were surprised with an amazing breakfast the morning after! We enjoyed our time so much that we’re planning to re-book for next year around the same time! Thanks again!

Very hospitable owner. Went our of her way to make us feel comfortable. We had to leave early and would have had to miss the breakfast, but she made us up an excellent "meal in a bag" to take with us. Great place!!

Karey is a very personable host and if you are a dog lover she has 3 well mannered standard poodles; Wally, Tigre and Molly. If you like, Karey will call them into your room one at a time to meet you. The bed was comfortable, you have your choice of 3 breakfast items and ours was delicious. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, however , we plan to return to explore the surrounding beaches and walks.
