Manny kindly met us at the ferry, he was very welcoming and told us all about the island and places to visit. He recommended great walks and shortcuts to the beach as well as good places to eat.

When we walked into the cottage, we found it to be just as beautiful, welcoming, and peaceful as we had hoped.
We were delighted to find fresh 'cob cottage' eggs, milk, yummy home made granola, a delicious home baked nut bread, and wonderful homegrown apples awaiting us in the fridge and on the kitchen counter. Everything was delightful, comfortable and peaceful.

As we set out on our first walk shortly after we'd arrived, we were greeted by a black tail buck, who just standing in the road a few feet ahead of us. He kindly stayed there long enough for these mainlanders to get a few good photos of him before he hopped over the fence and ambled into Manny and Alexis' apple orchard for an early afternoon snack.

Our walks to and from the village, exploring the area, meeting the local people and feeling right at home, reminded me of my treasured Chilcotin Coast childhood. We will remember this visit always, it was just what we needed.

We only spent the weekend here but look forward to coming again, and for a longer stay. The quiet, star filled nights and peaceful mauve mornings were priceless.
