I've been eye'ing The Salty Pear for years after hearing about it, but it had always been booked up. I planned ahead very early and was able to snag a long weekend visit for our first ever visit to Salt Spring Island and we loved every minute of it!
The suite itself is private, modern, and clean. We loved looking out at the property in the mornings and just letting our dog roam free. She was so happy and constantly zooming around. The property itself is amazing and full of pear trees and apple trees and of course DEER! It made us really want to purchase some property for ourselves and build a little home as well. We didn't end up using the woodfire sauna because it was so warm out, but we took a peek and would definitely 100% use it if we came back during the Fall/Winter. The back patio is awesome to enjoy your takeout meals and morning coffees/breakfasts.
The town of Ganges is just a short walk down the road (~10mins). We were busy doing nearby hikes most mornings, but walked into town to grab coffees at The Perch (tiny shipping container cafe!) on our last day. Salt Spring Wild Cider and Francis Bread are both a short drive away from Salty Pear and are MUSTS – they were some of our favourite meals of our entire trip.
Annika was super responsive all the time even when I asked her a million questions about everything! Jorge was equally as nice and awesome to talk to and inspired us to really think about building our own place on a gulf island :)
We can't wait to come back!! Thanks again Annika and Jorge!
