The guesthouse is a gem with its outdoor shower, compost toilet and the living room with no curtain which create a feeling you are inside the forest. The whole house was built by wood and it is a architecture beauty. Despite being a lot, it was very cosy with 2 pull out couch and an upstair bed. We were worried that we might wake up early by the sun since there is no curtain. Our worries were unwarranted since we had such an awesome sleep that none of us rushed to get up in the morning. The outdoor shower is a great surprise. We were worried that it might be too cold to shower outside. Again, our worries were unwarranted since the water was so hot and warm that we got to enjoy the shower surrounded by beautiful forest and fresh air. The location was close to ferry terminal to Nanaimo, with a beautiful lake, beach and hiking trials nearby(their backyard actually leads to a creek with overgrown forest and grass field. Michelle also gave us tips about spots enjoyed by local. At Michelle's place, you can expect warmth, hospitality, nature, tranquility and truly island experience.
