We spent two nights in Ishbel's garden studio in mid-May 2016. This is one of the hidden gems on Salt Spring Island! Most of Ganges' galleries, shops, and restaurants are within a short walk, as are the car rental agency and the bus stop (if you're exploring outside of town).

Though Ishbel was away during our stay, her friend Marie-José gave us a good introduction to the island (and found us a bike rental shop) as well as a thorough walkthrough of the of the apartment. She left us a big bowl of fruit, and some milk and berries in the fridge. The kitchen is well equipped for meals at home, and the option to dine al fresco in the garden beside the studio is a nice luxury. Overall a cozy cottage and a wonderful place to return to at the end of a long day.
