Selfishly, I would keep Shanti and Don’s place to myself and not share it. However, that would be a mistake. Staying on the farm, in their Cobb home is an experience to be shared. I wish I was staying longer.
If you have a chance to come stay, do it. Shanti and Don are fantastic hosts, they have the best store on the island (Farm Gate) and most importantly are great people.
From a logistical standpoint, I was able to work with dependable WiFi, explore Mayne and the surrounding islands. The south Gull Islands are a Canadian gem of Western BC!
