Accommodations & Amenities
Heritage House on Salt Spring Island
Watch the seaplanes land and sailboats pass by as you experience this private oceanfront estate. Gorgeous sweeping views of Ganges Harbour are visible from nearly all rooms of this one of a kind heritage retreat. Built in 1906 this property was the first private school on the Gulf Islands and was later a creamery and then the private retreat of a technology billionaire and his family, during which time the property was greatly restored.
The estate is 4 acres with plenty of mindful exploring, to do in the magic of the garden, creek or nature trail. There is 300 feet of private beach front to enjoy. Various flowers are all over the park-like gardens and landscaped terraces.
Each bedroom in the unique vintage character estate house offers a warm feeling of being home. The master suite hones ensuite bathroom while shared bathrooms throughout rest of home.
Salt Spring Island
Salt Spring Island is a magical spot located between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia Mainland in the Salish Sea alongside its neighbouring islands of Galiano and Pender. Artists, yogi's, healers, farmers, chefs, foodies, romantics, writers, retirees and dreamers have been drawn to its shores and have recognized it as one of the world’s best places to visit, work and play. It is easier to get to then most people think. Salt Spring is a nature lovers’ paradise. From leisurely walks along pristine beaches to challenging uphill hikes, the vistas, flora and fauna are always inspiring. Surrounded by miles and miles of the mainly sheltered waterways of the Pacific Ocean’s Salish Sea, this Gulf Island archipelago offers countless opportunities to explore the marine world.
