Patrick and Sarella are incredibly warm, friendly, gracious hosts that made us excited to arrive way before our trip even started. Their property is to die for - totally beautiful and serene - and they really have made the most of it. Tons of outdoor seating so that you can enjoy the view of the fjord (apparently there's an occasional whale sighting! although I missed them), and a huge and gorgeous water feature straight out of a resort spa catalogue. The unit is completely private and soundproofed (!!) We were there for only two days, but the happiness and calm I experienced there was superior to other longer, more expensive trips I've taken.
We played tile games outside, ate drank and smoked in the mornings and moonlight, hiked the Goldstream Trestle Trail (SO COOL), ate at a few local restaurants (Sarella provided a great list to choose from), and visited the Buschart Botanical Garden. We saw hummingbirds, quail, and deer while on the property. Their gardens are beautiful but also great hummingbird and butterfly attractors. And as if that's not enough, the hosts' puppies are ADORABLE and friendly little furballs that I was tempted to take home with me.
We hope to return one day for a longer stay. Thanks Sarella and Patrick for making us feel so at home.
