Everything was neat and clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pots and pans. Washing machine was on the fritz so maybe ask in advance if it's working. Pocket view of the ocean. Quiet and serene.

The host, Sandra was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions. She has lots of suggestions for places to go and check out. The cottage itself was cozy, quiet and a perfect spot for a getaway.
View from the shower. The outside tub was disconnected due to freezing temperatures but I was cozy and warm inside with the rain shower.
A little landmark in the William Walker Trail, near to the cottage. Worth the hike.
View from the Mount Norman summit. Take a snack up there on a sunny day for a little rest before continuing.
Some fun guys I found on my walk!

This was our first time staying on Pender Island, and it was such a beautiful experience. We truly loved the cabin surrounded by forest, fresh air, and the peaceful ocean breeze. It felt like a perfect escape from city life. The wood-stove fireplace made it especially cozy and added to the charm of the space. Sandra was a wonderful host who was warm, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a tranquil island getaway.

Responsive, helpful host.Quiet and private location. Forest surrounds you with a nice patch of ocean beyond. You can be cozy in the cabin or go out to one of Pender’s many lovely beaches, eateries, or other unique offerings (host offers some great suggestions).

Stylish architecture and furniture

We enjoyed the simplicity of the cottage and marvelled at the architectural features. I loved sitting in the beautiful Softline chair. This was our first stay on the South Island and enjoyed the unite, the pathways and the views across the sound.

This suite was a beautiful place to stay and we felt at home right away. The back deck has a view of the ocean but remains private from the the road so noise is kept to a minimum. The space was well taken care of and you can tell the host, Sandra, has put a lot of thought into everything you might need during your stay. Would recommend to all my friends and family!

wonderful weekend away

We have stayed at the cabin twice and both times were magical. Waking up in the morning to the view of the ocean and trees as well as the bathtub on the deck and the wood stove were all highlights of our stay.
