Cozy South End Room - Galiano Island

Bright place with separate entrance nestled between the Bluffs and Mount Galiano. Enjoy a hot beverage, tea or coffee, or have a cold drink from your bar fridge while you wait for your BBQ. Your private deck overlooks a meadow perfect to enjoy a re-heated meal from the local restaurants. You are very welcome to use our fenced yard. Access to magnificent Mount Galiano is only minutes away! Your home on “The Gem of the Gulf Islands” is perfect for 2 adults plus a smaller teenager. The converted attached garage comfortably sleeps 2 adults and one younger kid in a queen size bed and a sleeper couch (5'5" by 3''; thus, it is not perfect for 3 adults). It features a separate private entrance, vaulted ceiling with a skylight, a small private deck overlooking the yard, satellite TV and a bathroom with shower. You can enjoy a chilled or warm beverage at your wet bar equipped with a bar fridge, kettle, coffee maker, microwave. Unfortunately, legally we are not allowed to provide a food preparation area and thus can’t offer a hot plate. Outside you have the opportunity to use our big BBQ. We are in a rural area with limited connectivity to social media. You can directly drive up to the house. You have private access to the accomodation thru the red door (Access pin will be provided few days before your arrival). You are very welcome to use our yard, including the fire pit (please bring your own fire wood, also there is an open fire ban from mid April to mid October). Please note we live on the property, in case you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to help! We respect your privacy, but are there when needed. We are located around 6km from “down town” Sturdies Bay and the ferry terminal and 2.5km from stores, shops, food carts and “The Pub”. Restaurants can be found at Sturdies Bay or Montague Harbor (both ~6km). Our place provides easy access to a public beach (5min walk) and view points to take in the serene beauty of Active Pass with its wildlife, such as eagles, seals, killer whales, Humming birds or to watch the ferries go by. Different access points to trails taking you up to breathtaking Mount Galiano or the Bluffs are only minutes away! For bicycle friends, Galiano Island is safe for biking, but unfortunately is very hilly. However the paved road to our place is one of the easiest for biking on Galiano. Galiano is a great destination for nature lovers. We have several great hiking trails such as Mount Galiano, Montague Peninsula or Dionisio. Public beach access points are dispersed over the island and will lead you to famous (sunsets at Montague) to secluded beaches ranging from stunning rock formations (Retreat cove), to sandy or shell beaches. For boaters or to kayak please check out the Montague Marina. Galiano is home to several great artists, with work ranging from pottery to glass or paintings. Make sure to stop by at their studios and catch them in action! During the different seasons Galiano has special occasions such as the literary festival, the vine festival or the quaint Saturday Market during the summer. Galiano has something to offer for every season! If possible, check-in and -out times might be flexible. Please let us know and we will see if we can make other arrangements. Unfortunately there is no public transport on Galiano Island at the moment. (Recently a bus shuttle from and to the ferry was introduced, but on weekends only! Please see Galiano Community Bus on Face-book for further info) Water is scarce on the Gulf Islands, please help to preserve. In summer times open fires are not allowed on Galiano Island, please keep our neighbourhood safe.
