It doesn't get any better than Olga and Lawrence's on Salt Spring Island. Lovely, friendly hosts; seclusion, privacy, and splendid accommodations. Fantastically beautiful views of the islands from within the "cottage" (in quotes because the cottage is not at all rustic on the inside -- it is charming and comfortable and felt like home) and outside (chairs surrounding the fire-ring, gardens, cabana area or covered porch--with an outside napping couch and comfy arm chairs). After arriving, we didn't want to leave -- the island breezes, garden surrounds, walks into the forest, breath-taking water views and sun rises were irresistible. So quiet that we heard ravens lazily winging their way across the sky several times, not to mention their calls. We greatly enjoyed all the best that Ganges has to offer and self-toured the island but mostly loved our quiet time at the cottage. Farmer's markets (Saturday and Tuesday), Barb's bakery (quiche is A+), very nice restaurants and interesting shops along a picturesque harbor -- what more could we ask for?
