Theres a lot of light coming to the studio through the windows and outside everything is green - felt great to wake up to that. And talking of sleeping, it's awesome to go to bed listening to the frogs and waking up listening to the birds. Sauna is amazing. Easy to use and powerful. There's also plenty of space between sauna and the studio, just grass and fruit-trees, which feels like your own piece of land. There's a fireplace on your patio and the shower never runs out of hot water. Location is also everything. It's close enough to the centre - a 10mins pleasant walk. But its secluded enough not to hear any cars or city noises and feel like you're somewhere in the countryside and on your own. You feel special, and spoiled with all that;) Thank you Salty Pear and Annika. We will definitely be back!

Everything is really as beautiful as the pictures and you can see it all from the bedroom! It was also such a bonus to get to watch the sunrise and the sunset in bed without having to venture out. Joe and Dianne are the hosts at Above the Narrows and they were very friendly and helpful on our trip. Joe gave us many great recommendations while we were there and they also have a guidebook in the room that pointed us to some great spots as well. Joe also prepared the breakfast each morning and it was very delicious! He even used local eggs which made the meals extra special. I was very happy with the amount of interaction I had with the hosts. They are not overwhelming at all, leaving us to enjoy our breakfasts alone. The room also has its own separate entrance so there is quite a bit of privacy. That said, Joe was very responsive and was always happy to answer any of our questions. The location of the bed and breakfast is also very convenient if you are driving. Personally, I visited Salt Spring Island without a car once and it was definitely not a very good experience because all the fun things on the island are quite far apart. But there is a nice network of trails right by the house and we could go on morning/evening strolls through the forest with ocean views too! We had such a great time here and I would definitely recommend this place!

When I want to send my mind and memory to it's happy place, I send it on a vacation here: 2 beautiful rooms with private bathrooms and a fireplace with the most breathtaking views and spectacular sunsets; big yummy homemade breakfasts with our chatty and very friendly hosts; a hot tub for late night dips under the stars; and deer munching on the grounds made Salt Spring the best mini-vacay I've taken in ages! Whether you want to be left alone or entertained with a lifetime of stories from Bill and Edward, this has been the best bed and breakfast experience I've had to date!

The self contained unit provides the guests with utmost privacy and has a full kitchen, so if you stay long you can cook some of your meals here. The hosts were considerate to leave basic Kitchen supplies like tea/coffee, salt/sugar, cooking oil etc. They were thoughtful to have a basket in the bathroom full of basic toiletries one often forgets. I took a toothbrush from it! The best part is the breakfast, which is freshly made each morning. We got bowls of fresh fruits with delicious homemade granola along with a baked breakfast item: Scones/muffins/waffles each day. We could not decide on a favourite and felt so spoilt! They had a great selection of books and boardgames in the seating room. Wifi is a bit erratic but when you are on the island the point is to relax and get time off the grid! It is walking distance from eateries like babes in the woods, Galiano Island's independent book shop and the active pass where you can see harbour seals and otters passing. The couple running it are lovely and super helpful. We cannot wait to return.

And the staff and food prep did not disappoint! Started out with lobster bisque (with a good amount of lobster) and a dozen snails (chef slipped a couple extra!) in a marvelous garlic butter and Parmesan sprinkled over all. Then for entree we enjoyed a wonderfully prepared Herb Crusted Wild Pacific Red Snapper With Creamy Parmesan Polenta, Basil Pesto. I enjoyed the Pan-Seared Nova Scotia Deep Sea Scallops on a fresh bed of lettuce mix and greens. So definitely a restaurant to try but you'll want to plan staying a night or more given they are on an island off the Vancouver island! Rooms are great also with some placed in cabins with views making you feel like you're in a tree house amongst the pines. Of particular notes, each morning different fresh baked muffins mysteriously appeared outside the suite door . But definitely the breakfast each day was amazing.
