Our first salt spring island trip started off with Rod picking us up from the ferry and helped us get some groceries at the local grocery store. We didn't bring our car to the island so this was very much appreciated. Rod and Pauline's place is picturesque and quiet. We enjoyed breakfast and many games of scrabble on their patio deck and even got a visit from a hummingbird. Their location was convenient and distances were exactly as described, even walkable distance to a local winery! Would not hesitate to recommend this place for a relaxing getaway to Salt spring! Thank you Rod and Pauline for being generous hosts and sharing your island home with us.
