We had a nice quiet stay here on Galiano. Our hosts were very welcoming and provided us rides to and from the ferry as we didn't bring a car or bikes. They made us feel quite comfortable.

The listing was accurate. The place is a comfortable, small suite under the hosts' cabin in the woods. We used the propane grill and dual hotplate to cook all our meals while we were there and there was room in the mini-fridge for about 3 days of food. I was a bit unsure how I would sleep on the sleeping pads in the little loft, but they were quite comfortable and combined with the quiet of the woods I slept great!

The location is beautiful. Therah itself is an interesting little community. We took a walk down to the community garden and orchard and it's a very nice spot. The house is also about a 20 minute walk down to Dionisio Point Provincial Park, maybe 25 minutes total to get right on the beach. That was the main selling point for us, as I've always admired the park and wanted to visit. Keep in mind for those with mobility issues that the quickest route requires climbing down a bit of a steep cliff (there is a rope provided), but you can access the same trail a different way that is an easier walk, but takes a bit longer. I originally thought we might be able to go down the park in the morning, come back for lunch, and go again in the afternoon, but the hill is a bit steep so unless you want to do a lot of walking or trail bike riding I'd recommend packing in some food. Anyway the park is great, lots of wildlife, nice beaches, good views, usually quiet.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this listing to anyone looking for a quiet north island getaway. Thanks for your hospitality!
