Salt Spring Gite

Our "gite" is a self-contained 2 bedroom cottage in the most beautiful part of Salt Spring, the south eastern tip, near Ruckle Park. From our cottage, you can walk to this historic working farm and park, explore its forested trails, and then head to the many beach areas a short distance away. Visit farm stands and take the Studio Tour. Take a dip in one of many lakes. Climb Maxwell Mountain or stroll through the Saturday Market and other unique shops. Salt Spring is a true one of a kind. The space The cottage is decorated in a French Country style. Doors open to covered decks and a lavender garden. Along with a full bathroom, full kitchen, washer and dryer, there is an outdoor shower to enjoy in the summer months. A wonderful grass field surrounded by snake rail fences provides room to relax, read, or bird watch! In the cottage there is a queen bed in each of the two bedrooms. Guest access Guests have a private driveway and a parking area. TRAVEL: Most guests arrive through one of the 3 ferry terminals on Salt Spring Island (Long Harbour/ Tsawassen near Vancouver, Fulford Harbour/Swartz Bay near Victoria, Vesuvius/Crofton near Duncan). Check schedules as they change by the season. Reservations are needed for boats to/from Tsawassen/Vancouver. If you are coming from the mainland it is possible to transfer through Swartz Bay but you can't reserve the Fulford boat. Try to avoid the 5pm Fulford ferry as that is a commuter boat and often full. There are float planes from Vancouver to Ganges, and car rentals in Ganges at the Marina. In order to enjoy Salt Spring and all it has to offer we recommend guests stay at least 3 nights. There is so much to do! Please note too that we have a minimum stay of 2 nights for a large portion of the year, but in the summer, Christmas holidays and on long weekends, we have a 3 (sometimes 4 or 5) night minimum. Other things to note Note to summer guests: Summer (July and August) minimum stay is adjusted from 2 day minimum to 3, 4 days. The 4 day minimum for July and August will be in place until May or if shorter periods are available between bookings. Note to fall/winter/spring guests: Keep checking as we frequently lower our rates in the shoulder and low seasons. If you wish a longer winter getaway, send us a question by making an inquiry.
