Do not hesitate to book this cottage it's truly wonderful . I am a single traveller with no car, the ferry from Vancouver was cheap, lots of good facilities on board like cafe and shops and very scenic ride to Galiano island then Mayne . Manny picked me up from the ferry and gave me lots of advice on bike rides and restaurants ( only two were open when I visited. The cottage is so beautiful , very clean and well equipt as I cooked my entire 3 days ( I suggest bringing food from the mainland as the supermarkets are small ). The fire was already roaring when I arrived , lovely fresh eggs,f resh milk and great banana bread , the shower gets very hot so perfect for December . The fire and upstairs heater are more that adequate to keep you warm. I was alone for 3 days and felt very safe and peaceful . Riding around the island is fun but be warned very hilly. It's a great island to relax and feel homely, don't expect entertainment just relaxation .They were great hosts and I will never forgot the beautiful cottage .
