I really can't recommend Alfred's place enough: it is a comfortable and private apartment with everything and more that a family could need for a stay on Salt Spring, right down to fishing rods and board games! The view from the deck is spectacular, and the hot tub makes for a very relaxing evening. Alfred has designed and built a beautiful garden from which to spot the local wildlife including deer, hummingbirds and all manner of birds of prey.
The accommodation itself is wonderful: spacious, spotlessly clean, and filled with thoughtful touches to make your stay memorable. The location is excellent for day trips around the island; you're really never more than 15-20 minutes from anything. But the real highlight for us was Alfred himself. He is an outstanding host, never intrusive but available whenever needed for advice on things to do and places to visit. He made us feel like valued guests and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you for a wonderful week on Salt Spring!
