This cottage is walkable into Ganges and provides a good base for exploring Salt Spring Island. The kind provision of eggs, homemade jam and the excellent bread were very welcome. Thank you. Francis Bread and a few other local deli type shops are just up the main road and are excellent. Lovely hosts that chatted when we saw them.

Our stay was everything we were hoping for - it was private, close to amenities, clean, the host was exceptional - friendly, helpful and the loaf of fresh baked bread from the bakery was a beautiful touch. Exactly as described and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
4.6
A lovely location close enough to walk to town. Wonderful touches of fresh bread, eggs, milk etc. everything you need for breakfast. The eggs were hard boiled to take on our hikes. I loved falling asleep listening to the frogs in the nearby pond.
Thank you.
A wonderful spot.

We were greeted with a wonderful loaf of bread from Francis Bakery, homemade jam, homemade orange juice, granola cereal, fresh eggs, butter, milk, tea, coffee and beautiful bouquet of flowers left on the kitchen table; now that’s amazing and thoughtful! Our unit was clean and quiet with your private terrace and bbq surrounded by the owners lovely backyard with fruit trees and vegetable gardens. Walking distance to Ganges, shops and restaurants. Our only drawback was the bed; regrettably not comfortable and very squeaky.

This was our first visit to Salt Spring Island. The Island has a lot to offer!
Pros:
Rural setting within easy walking distance to town.
Breakfast food and coffee were provided.
Delicious fresh bread from the local bakery.
Fresh flowers were a nice welcome gift.
Bed was comfortable but as noted by another guest,
the bed squeaks.
The outdoor patio and grill were nice but the weather prevented us from using it.
Cons:
It would be helpful to have access to a coffee maker and a microwave.
The washer and dryer are shared so we choose to do some hand laundry.
We spent our time hiking Daffodil Point and Mount Erskine, dined out two evenings ( Moby’s Tavern and Auntie Pesto’s- made patio reservations for the latter) and enjoyed a drink at the Hastings House.
We also visited some of the numerous art galleries, browsed at the Saturday Market, watched the busy sea planes and explored different parts of the Island. The Country Grocer was the best place to buy additional food items.
For anyone who is concerned about getting to Victoria’s airport, we found the Web Cam at Fulford Harbor to be very helpful.

We thought this was going to be a secluded cottage property (based on listing description and pics), but it was actually part of a larger building/house which had other tenants staying. Due to the age of the building, it was very easy to hear other people talking, making noise, and lots of natural creaks and sounds which would startle our dog.
Nice property, but definitely not reflective of the pictures or description.
4.6
Lovely and peaceful retreat; easy walk to Ganges Village for shopping, visiting galleries, and enjoying a meal or coffee out.
4.6
A very enjoyable stay with delicious breakfasts. The location was good with respect to walking access to Ganges for provisions and restaurants. Being dog friendly was a must for us.

Such a nice quiet location to spend a relaxing weekend on the island. Would stay again for sure. Super close to the ocean and ganges.

Great location close to the town centre. Wifi a bit flaky and bed very squeaky. Breakfast provisions including delicious sour dough bread, were a nice touch!

I organized this trip as a Christmas present for my partner and we had a blast exploring the island and relaxing in the suite. A great location and a lovely stay!

This property ticked many boxes. Our dog was welcome, and she had lots of area around the property to enjoy, it was easy walking distance to a dog friendly pub, its in a quiet spot yet easy to find, the walk in to the centre of Ganges was about 10 minutes and it was so nice not to drive. An added bonus was the delicious breakfast goodies. We were very comfortable and enjoy a few days of total relaxation. Highly recommended.
4.6
Perfect location!
The gallery suite made for a relaxing and pleasant vacation. We appreciated the delicious selection of local foods for breakfast and the quiet woodland surrounding. The location is ideal for a short walk to Churchill Beach or to the market in Ganges.

Slice of Heaven
Beautiful get-away and relaxing slice of Heaven!
Private, cozy and great location. I didn’t want to leave! Stars and Quails... art & sculpture and trees & owls. What else does anyone need?!

We will be back !
This is a perfect location!
Ceila was quick to answer any questions and always available to help. The location was perfect, and the smell of the bakery on property was amazing.
I look forward to returning in the summer to make use of the private patio and walking to the market.
Place was clean and tidy. However, if we needed anything extra it was easy to ask.
Thanks again Celia for the great place.

Overall review
Close to the Ganges center for groceries and supplies. Excellent place to eat close by at Mobys Pub. Warning though no television in the rental just in case you want that.
Would suggest more towels available to guests without having to ask. Also instructions on the gate about check in would of been helpful as I just assumed there would be someone there when we arrived. But very peaceful place to relax very quiet and lovely. Thanks

Peaceful location within easy walking distance of Ganges town centre, close to pretty much anything you’d like to do on Salt Spring Island. Suite is spacious and well appointed, filled with excellent art, comfortable and extremely clean. Communications with the hosts were seamless. Bonus: excellent breakfast and the bread at on site Francis Bakery.

Thank you...We had a wonderful time here. We walked to a beach 10 minutes away and into town for groceries and goodies from the vendors market on Saturday. The suite was clean, quiet, cozy and pet friendly. Our Labradoodle “Nella” also enjoyed herself with all the new sights and smells during our daily long dog walks. Celia and Nick supplied generous amounts of breakfast items including home made bread from the on site bakery. We will be back!

Centrally located and great breakfast
The Gallery Suite was the perfect place for our weekend of exploring Salt Spring Island. We couldn't have asked for a better location, with a short walk not only to Ganges, but also to Bullock Lake Farm for the Pitchfork Social concert. There's also a quiet little beach at the end of the road. The fresh bread, juice, and other breakfast items in the suite were delicious and allowed for a very relaxing morning. Overall, a very quiet and peaceful place to stay. Our only regret is not spending more time wandering through the sculpture park on the property, but there was so much to explore on the island that we ran out of time!

Charming and Peaceful
We had a lovely stay in this quiet suite in the forest, surrounded by tall trees and art. An easy walk into town, but still secluded. Very clean, lovely linens, great granola. Many thanks!

Beautiful property, charming hosts
This is the place to stay on Salt Spring Island. The location is perfect. It is quiet and close enough to walk to town. The property is an art oasis. Be sure to visit the gallery and stroll through the beautiful sculpture garden at night when it is lit up. The cottage is cozy, comfortable and clean. It was well stocked with fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, bread, orange juice, coffee, tea and Nick's homemade granola. The patio and garden area is perfect for outdoor eating or just sitting and reading. Nick and Celia were helpful, friendly and charming. We would definitely stay here again.

The owners are great and very accommodating. The condo is in a nice quiet location. The condo is well equipped for all your needs. We enjoyed our walks to town . This condo is good value and we recommend it to others.

Sweetest suite, awesome central location
This was the perfect place for me and my daughter on a rainy November weekend. Close enough to walk to Ganges proper, but still quiet and private. Beautiful at night with the sculptures lit up. We would stay there again for sure.

Charming!
Our visit to Salt Spring Island was car free and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We caught the bus from the ferry and it dropped us off at the corner, steps from our accommodations. The suite is lovely and comfortable and is run by the owners of the Duthie Gallery. It's a short walk to the town of Ganges and far enough that it's peaceful and quiet both day and night. The sculpture garden attached to the Duthie Gallery is lovely to enjoy and steps from the private backyard that comes with the suite. It was wonderful to come into the suite and have fresh baked bread, some local fruit, homemade preserves, and all the fixings for a breakfast or snack. The only drawback for us was that the suite is open concept and if one person is awake it's difficult to let the other person sleep. Our contact person was Kevin and he was helpful with any questions we had and gave us a ride to the ferry for our return trip. We rented bikes to explore the island but that lasted one day after we experienced the multitude of hills. The next two days we rented scooters and enjoyed seeing the island and having some time to do some hikes as well. I have to say, I love the west coast! The people are relaxed and "real", the service was great, wherever we went, and nothing was a problem.
