Guest Reviews
- Victoria (9/5): We had a family reunion in Ganges and the condos were spacious and wonderful for relaxing cooking - No breakfast provided. Location was perfect. The patios were lovely. So nice to have two units side by side connected by the outside patios. Beds were extremely comfortable! Knifes could be sharpened. Provide a few staples like oil and vinegar, more coffee.
The door lock in the master bedroom outside door in 103 was very difficult to lock.
- JIANGUO (10/5): -
- Zhengwei (10/5): 非常舒适 - 非常好的地理位置 入住的时间和退房时间灵活一些,就更好
- janet (10/5): We went to visit our new grandbaby, this was a short notice trip, and Inga was great, communication was fast and easy. I - The condo was beautiful, well equipped kitchen, bedding, pillows etc were amazing, I’m a bit of a bedding snob lol. And of course you couldn’t get a better location with a stunning view
- Xuguang (9/5): Beyond expectations - Close to everything and great view of the harbor Road traffic noise is a bit loud
- Punzalan (9/5): A bit more than I'm used to spending but you do get what you pay for--and this place is beautiful! - I booked pretty late (a little over a week in advance) through a 3rd party (e.g., E_pedia, B--king) but got what I was looking for. This was only for an overnight but the place was inviting, comfy, clean, and the communications leading up were prompt/clear. Upon arrival/check in, we relaxed in the living room and had a few snacks drinks before going out for dinner, just a few minutes walk from the 'town' centre (Ganges). We came back to get ready for bed and watched some digital TV before snoozing. On the morning of departure, I cooked up a big breakfast for two, using the provided appliances and cookware with no issues/wants. If I were staying on Salt Spring for a few days, especially with guests, this would be a perfect home base. Not cheap but delivering in comfort and amenities (beautiful patio facing the harbour with BBQ etc.). Pet friendly too, which is non-trivial for folks like us--sometimes hard to find a good spot. When I was a younger human, I would have skimped a lot for savings (we're pretty active/out-and-about when traveling). But this was for a special occasion--'classed it up a bit'-- and no regrets. No complaints at all.
- Jeff (10/5): Exactly what we were looking for - Location was perfect, quality build and furnishings, view of the harbor, included everything you need, plenty of parking Can’t think of any improvements
- Christina (10/5): Amazing spot - Stayed here with my two kids recently and we loved it! You really can’t beat the location. It’s just a short walk to town and the view is beautiful. We found the beds comfortable and it was very clean. The host was very kind and accommodating. It was a very hot weekend but there were fans provided and that worked great for us. We really hope to return sometime in the future!
- Natasha (10/5): Perfect place for our family and centrally located - The view and location were amazing. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Everything was great
- Kerry (9/5): A wonderful family escape in a beautiful setting! - Easy walking distance to sights and facilities in Ganges. Great views of the harbour. Enjoyed watching the sea planes swooping into land. Very spacious and comfortable. Short drives to hikes and sightseeing. All good.
- Patricia (7/5): - A bit noisy, other units and hot water heater
- Bruce (10/5): Fantastic! - Location, amenities and view! Location was difficult to find at first.
- Debbie (9/5): -
- Garm (6/5): -
- Gerald (6/5): - Inga was great; helping us check in and get organized
- Karen (10/5): Home away from home. - Comfortable, clean, with everything we needed. Great location close to shopping and restaurants. Overlooks the harbor.
- Eiko (10/5): 最高 - 大きなキッチン付きの部屋が家族で泊まるのに最適でした。部屋からのGangesハーバーの景色が素晴らしかったです。町まで徒歩で行けて、ロケーションも最高でした。施設側のホスピタリティも素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。 ブレンダーが壊れていました。
- Kimberly (10/5): -
- Joanne (9/5): Totally enjoyed our visit, facility clean inside and outside. - Access to Marina & restaurants view of Harbour and appreciated salt spring toiletries carrying our bikes up & down stairs however the outside access to balcony was ideal
- Margaret (9/5): I'd love to stay there again! - Beautiful apartment with a lovely view of the harbour. It was very spacious with good cooking facilities. The location was very convenient and walkable to many shops and restaurants. No concerns. Everything was great.
- Greg (10/5): -
- Carola (10/5): Wonderful time in beautiful Salt Spring Island - The location was perfect, as we had a gorgeous view of the harbor and could walk to many nearby shops, restaurants, and trails. The furniture was comfortable, kitchen equipped nicely, spacious bathrooms and living/kitchen area - it was great! not a thing
- Paul (9/5): We would stay here again! - The location is amazing. A very short walk to coffee shops, bakeries, art galleries and stores. It was a well equipped kitchen and we enjoyed having a BBQ. The views were lovely. The road is noisy and being on the lowest level meant the views weren’t as good as they would have been for the other units.
- Carman (10/5): A luxurious yet homey stay — I’ll definitely be coming back. - Spacious rooms, a large kitchen, breathtaking views, and a prime location — everything is within walking distance
- Ian (10/5): Excellent Accommodation - Easy parking
Close to town
Quiet location
Spacious accommodation
- Lelms (8/5): Very close to town and restaurants - good location to town. very walkable. decently equipped kitchen. quiet. nice parking area. clean. could use some seating besides 4 dining chairs on the patio facing the harbour. stairs to road below condo had a gate that was inoperable, and damaged.
- Eng (9/5): Excellent rooms and service. - The communication and customer service with the host was excellent. The location and views were stellar and the layout of the rooms were great.
- Andrew (9/5): Superb - the location is very accessible. Not accessible. Full of stairs and have to carry strollers, wagons or wheelchair to get down to unit.
- Caoimhe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jenna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandy (10/5): Lovely weekend in a beautiful suite set up with everything you need. - Great location
Walkable to stores restaurants and the market.
Beautifully appointed and fabulous views! Nothing
- Dreena (9/5): Very nice, comfortable, excellent location. - Location, facilities On our last night people moved in upstairs and it was very noisy. I don’t think they were doing anything unusual I just think the soundproofing isn’t sufficient.
- Miles (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect for us, the accommodation clean and plenty of space. It had all the facilities we needed to travel light, ie washing machine, tumble dryer, hair dryers. Nothing
- Phaedra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ricci (9/5): Superb - Great location! Beautiful unit, beds were very comfortable .. loved the local shampoos, conditioners & handwash! Host was very accommodating and left alot of local info for our stay! Would definitely stay again! No grab bars in tub/shower unit.
- Derasp (10/5): Exceptional - Location and comfort Only draw back for me were the exhaust fumes from passing vehicles seemed to collect on the lovely out side deck
- Kimberly (9/5): Perfect weekend retreat! - Enjoyed the beautiful location, view & amenities
- Shimeng (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (10/5): Perfect! - Wonderful place for 2 old friends to reconnect. It would also be perfect for two couples. Everything clean and comfortable, a wonderful balcony for morning coffee or dinner watching activity in the harbour. Thanks for everything.
- Tammy (10/5): Will definitely return. - Well-maintained, quality furnishings and kitchenware, large patio, incredible view, location. Nothing.
- Patricia (8/5): Very good -
- Carla (9/5): Lovely spot for a family in Ganges. - Great walkability in Ganges, very clean, well appointed and maintained. Great views. Responsive & flexible hosts. Lots of road noise but a trade off for the location. Bed in second bedroom was smaller than I thought it would be.
- Winstone (9/5): Superb -
- Laura (9/5): Superb -
- Denise (10/5): Great property, great location, friendly staff , fabulous place - Everything
- Amir (8/5): Very good -
- Kelly (9/5): Superb -
- Lisa (8/5): I’d recommend this place. Spacious, large balcony’s and convenient location for the town. - Very nice. Spacious. Private and good views of the harbour. Bathrooms were a little dated.
- Erin (3/5): Five Star Price; Three Star Reality - Location was favorable The price was outrageous for the quality of the unit. Photos do not nearly depict reality. Almost $900 per night for ground level with power pole and lines view. We couldn’t enjoy the patio because of the heavy (truck) traffic right in front of the unit.
Unit is not well maintained. Several blinds were broken, furniture has a lot of wear and is dated, usb in lamps don’t work, caked on lipstick on all glasses, floors feel dirty. Paid extra for dog stay but no food dishes or bed were provided as indicated. For the price and location, everything is expected to be high quality and in exquisite condition.
- Cecelia (10/5): Perfect for family getaway with accessibilty accommodation for seniors with mobility issues -
- Rachel (9/5): Very relaxing - Spacious, convenient location. Deck facing the wrong way for sunsets! But otherwise it was good. We were there in a heatwave and air con would have been good. They kindly provided an extra fan.
- Melinda (8/5): A great place for a weekend away. - Good location, amenities & comfortable. The multiple sets of stairs were a bit much for older people to manage with suitcases.
- Holly (7/5): Great location, but definitely tired Furniture and everything else. Pretty disappointing. - The location was perfect! Quite close to Ganges Harbor. The furniture was tired and unraveling. for the amount of money paid it should’ve been upgraded. The dishes, the silverware the furniture is definitely on the low end. I used to run a VRBO in Seattle. I charged maximum price and I furnished it with high-end, sheets, bedding, dishes to reflect the price that I was asking.
- Pam (6/5): Nice place but very expensive and very disappointing how staff handled problems that arose - will not stay there again - Nice condo with magnificent views and a 1 minute walk to downtown Ganges Short on supplies (toilet paper, dishwasher pods, etc.) and barbecue did not work properly which ruined a celebratory dinner we had planned. Staff were surprisingly unapologetic.
Also, lots of noise from traffic and float planes.
- Kelly (9/5): Great view and location. - Great location and view. Could use more dish place settings, more towel racks and hooks in both bathrooms, a second luggage stand in the bedrooms and some hooks in the smaller bedroom.
- Jackie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bonnie (10/5): Would stay here again - Very clean, beds comfortable, great central location and fabulous veiw, nice rosemary mint soap
- Tracey (9/5): I highly recommend this place. - The location was excellent! 3-5 min walk into Lower Ganges! The place was well equipped as stated in the description. The view was stunning and the neighbourhood was quiet. We loved our stay and will definitely be back. The floors were clean on the surface but not deep cleaned. I'm guessing a lot of ppl wear their shoes in the place. The pullout sofa and double bed was not very comfortable; however, the king bed was fantastic. This was very minor and did not ruin our stay.
- Karin (10/5): Would definitely stay here again. - Location was stunning. Everything was perfect for our needs.
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- April (8/5): Very good -
- Melissa (4/5): The most underwhelming place we have ever stayed for $550 a night. Crazy nagging emails, signs and texts about endless r - Excellent location. This was
- Andy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (9/5): Superb - awesome location. well appointed apartment. great parking.
- Angela (9/5): Superb -
- Leah (10/5): Enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. - Proximity to town. Could walk everywhere. The only downside for us was how noisy it was when sitting on the deck even early morning. The view is beautifully but the noise of the traffic takes away from it. Nothing you can do about it.
- Pan (9/5): I would recommend for its walking distance to shops, restaurants, and grocery store. It’s a self-catering spacious prope - close to lots of great restaurants and cute shops! beautiful view and by the water! the floor was a bit dirty.
- Leslie (9/5): overall excellent experience and stay. we would definitely return. - clean. large. well laid out. a little louder car traffic than what we anticipated.
