Sunny quiet self-contained patio suite near Ganges on Salt Spring Island.

Salt Spring Island is known for its natural beauty and vibrant artistic community. Perfect for short or longer stays our quiet, sunny, self-contained suite has a private entrance, full kitchen and breakfast makings provided - fresh organic wood-fired sour dough bread, baked at Francis Bread , eggs, milk, coffee, granola, jam and a roomy bathroom with shower, comfortable queen size bed, good reading lights and WIFI, in an airy space furnished with fine art and studio furniture.

French doors open onto a private garden patio with forest and meadow views, and an abundance of birds. A BBQ and outdoor table with comfortable chairs and an umbrella are provided for al fresco dining.

The Gallery B&B is within easy walking distance of Ganges village and Churchill Beach and across the street from the prestigious Hastings House Hotel. Visitors can walk to the famous Salt Spring Island Saturday market, buy fabulous fresh produce, baked goods and fine island-made cheeses and cook up delicious meals in the suite or picnic on the patio. Ganges village abounds with excellent restaurants, a natural food store, two bustling grocery stores and several liquor stores.

Come and spend a week exploring the island, touring the many studios and galleries or attending one of many inspiring workshops offered on island: from pottery, glass and fibre arts to woodblock printing and basket making. There is also a wide variety of spas and healing arts, yoga and fitness programs available year round on Salt Spring Island.

Salt Spring is an island with a mild climate, year round golf and walking weather, and even during the winter months lots of sunny days. It is a great place to relax and recreate and easy to get to by three different ferries or by air. There is also now an excellent bus service.

Quiet cottage surrounded by a lovely garden
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.

Perfect Getaway
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.

Nice touches
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.

Beautiful Salt Spring Island!
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.

Good place for a couple of nights
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.

Nice spot, but not secluded
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.

Comfortable and perfect location.
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.

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.

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.

Quiet, self contained and an easy walk to Ganges. Pet friendly too!
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!
