    If you like Hawaii...this will be your second favorite place on the planet with the palm trees

    I loved the private setting with Palm trees and sunshine. The cabins were well stocked with everything for relaxation. The palm tree nursery tour was a highlight. The hosts were helpful and super friendly. The palm trees and westcoast styled tikis everywhere were so fun.

    What a beautiful location. Unique tropical plants all around the property made us feel like we were in Hawaii not BC! The unit is small but had everything we needed and we loved the eclectic decor. The granola and yogurt and muffin breakfast was delicious. The location is far from most amenities but for us it was near family we were visiting so absolutely perfect. Would stay again for sure.

    Having to climb the very steep ladder to the sleeping area was manageable, but not optimal. Anyone with even minor mobility issues or a fear of heights would find this arrangement challenging. The sleeping area has a very low ceiling so standing is not an option for adults. This makes getting in and out of bed awkward. As for the bed, while it’s a Queen there is not a single mattress. Rather, there are two memory foam mattresses side-by-side. Over time the mattresses “memory” have resulted in a valley in the centre, which forces people together during the night. The mattresses are also on the softer side so by the third night our backs were a bit sore (we get that this is a personal preference but it’s worthy of mention).

    The gardens are lovely, as are the hosts. We stayed in the two small cottages that comprise Arbutus Blossom and having our coffee and a light breakfast just outside each morning was a real treat. There is a small fridge, a temperature controlled kettle and a small Breville smart oven. There is a drip coffee maker as well, and a French Press (a very nice addition). The bathroom area is spacious. That’s where we stored our bags during our stay and there was still plenty of room for ablutions.

    The wifi barely worked and little to no cell coverage. Would be good if they could put a booster in to improve wifi.

    It was beautiful, quiet, secluded but still very accessible to everywhere. Cute set up.

    I really can't think of anything - we had just come in from several days of kayaking so my hands were rough, maybe it would have been nice to have some hand lotion in the lovely bathroom since I forgot to bring any? Reall splitting hairs here because we loved the place!

    The most comfortable bed in the world and tons of art and character everywhere! And what amazing tropical gardens! We loved getting a private tour of the property with the artist studio (full of treasures you can take home) and endless beautiful nooks and crannies between the incredible foliage and handmade tikis everywhere. Wendy and Joe (and cute puppy) were absolutely lovely hosts. What a treat!

    That I didn't stay longer.

    The location is a perfect retreat! Out of the way yet close enough (by vehicle) to several restaurants if one wanted to go out for a meal. Also close to hiking, sights, various ocean accesses and town. The room was an artistically decorated studio apartment and included a private deck surrounded by lush forest and palm trees. The breakfast (additional charge and worth it) was delicious; yogurt, fresh berries, juice, muffin, homemade granola, coffee/tea, honey. The hosts Wendy and Joe were very genuine, welcoming and hospitable. Wendy is a talented artist and has an amazing little studio that she will show upon request. My two day experience was incredibly peaceful and it felt so comfortable to be there. I will definitely return!

    Occasionally sketchy wifi, but quite frankly, this is a place to get away from it all anyway so can count as a plus!

    We loved just about everything about this place, from the warm welcome (and cookies!) from our hosts, to the charming interior of each little 'house' with (depending on where you stayed) various sun terraces, double hammocks, spacious showers and deep soft beds. Our hosts were so helpful, and gave us some local top tips that made our stay even better. We loved experiencing this end of the island with its glorious beaches and incredibly peaceful atmosphere and fabulous food.

    We thought breakfast was included. It’s not. But…. a very reasonably priced breakfast can be purchased and brought to your room the night before 🙂

    We couldn't figure out the exhaust fan in the w/c. It would turn off when we wanted it on, and turn on by itself when we wanted it off. Probably easily remedied if we just asked for help! There was no obvious place to put the toaster in range of an outlet, so we put it on top of the microwave.

    The property was beautiful. Full of gorgeous landscaping. Very quiet. You do need to drive to get there - the road is not suitable for walking, especially after dark. Our host was very friendly and helpful. Friendly dog and nervous cat on property, but you mightn't see either one.
