It seems that Salt Spring Island, at least to me, was full of expensive high end places and dubious low end places. I was looking for neither, just a good quality place at a reasonable price. Mackey Landing fit the bill exactly for that and we enjoyed our week there.
Many thoughtful notes are around the place to give you information on how to operate everything. The house is separated into 3 areas, a nice living room, a good kitchen, and a spacious bedroom. A few outside areas are there as well to enjoy. Probably the best thing we were surprised at was the amazingly stocked kitchen. I wish the picture in the description had all the drawers opened because there is so much stuff there, too numerous to mention. We especially enjoyed using the portable induction cooktop, which we used to make omelette sandwiches using the local eggs and rye bread that were provided. (More eggs were provided later in the week at our request, they were yummy.)
The island is under severe water restrictions at the present so we did our best to conserve water. You can’t even wash a car at present. Still, we had all we required. We also used the sauna once during a rainy day, that was a nice bonus.
The king sized bed was nice and it’s very quiet and dark at night. It’s a very private area so not much worry for being seen around your place. The bedroom area is large and nicely stocked with luggage amenities.
Now you shouldn’t be here if getting online is a major priority but for those who need it the wifi was fairly spotty. Sometimes it worked well, other times it just wouldn’t connect. It suited our needs but social media uploads were slow. Netflix worked pretty well though after a long day of hiking and touring the island.
Ron and Theresa were very responsive to all needs, requests, and questions. It’s pretty obvious a lot of thought has been put into making the best possible place to rest, sleep, cook and relax. I can’t imagine there would be many people who wouldn’t enjoy a stay here, it’s very well situated as a good reasonably priced quality option on an island that doesn’t feature too many of those.
