We highly recommend The Chocolate Factory to singles or couples looking for a home away from home that is close enough to the town of Ganges to satisfy any shopping needs, restaurants, and other amenities, while still being quiet, secluded, private, and restful. My husband and I stayed with Wendy and Larry for 11 nights while vacationing on Salt Spring Island, and were pampered with Wendy's wine; locally made chocolates, jam, and bread; and granola, yogurt, milk, and fruit for breakfast. The French press coffee was amazing! The bedroom was very comfortable, and the covered outdoor area became our place to begin and end the day. Breakfast with hummingbirds and butterflies, and then reading while resting on the lounge chairs added to the magic of The Chocolate Factory. This is a great place to stay.
