Andrea’s cottage is a great place to relax. Plenty of good books to read, boardgames and cds of great 80’s music. The view from the living room area and deck was very peaceful. We saw ducks, otters, and deer plus enjoyed the chirping of a variety of birds. It is an easy walk from the ferry & collection of cafes, book shop & a grocery shop. The Sturdies Bay Trail, parallel to Studies Bay Road, was a delightful walk to the Hummingbird Pub. The Saturday morning market is good fun. There is no internet, but you can use the internet at the local cafe and enjoy a coffee. Note that there are no laundry facilities at the cottage. We came as foot passengers on the ferry from Vancouver. It’s a do-able getaway, without having to hire a car.
