Loved our stay at Dave and Carol's cottage! The accommodation is basic, but very comfortable and good value. And the location literally could not be better. Travelling no further than the deck, we were able to see a pod of passing orcas, an eagle perched on a tree at the bottom of the garden, and otters playing just off the shore. Not to mention the ferries, tugs and fishing boats plying the local waters. Once you manage to drag yourself away from the cottage, Bellhouse Park is a few minutes walk away. A tiny perfect park with stunning vistas of Active Pass and Mayne Island. And if you're able to pry yourself away from all of this, hikes up Bodega Ridge and the Bluff are must-dos.
