Galiano is a special kind of island, and has definitely made its way to the top of my list! This is largely due to Victoria's cottage, which was a perfect getaway for me and my husband.
Of note is that there is no wifi or tv and very little signal. This is in the amenities section of the listing, but we weren't paying attention :S This is not unique to the property, but across most of the island! We went to Galiano anticipating a work / relax weekend, but ended up committing to 100% rest and relaxation without the amenities, and loved it!
From the cottage, we saw four porpoises, an eagle, a seal, and many critters in the water. We read books by the cozy fireplace and cooked long, slow meals. We hiked up Mount Galiano. It was a truly wonderful weekend and we hope to return!
