The Salt Spring Way, A Bed & Breakfast

he Salt Spring Way Bed & Breakfast is located just two miles (3km) south of the village of Ganges and is a short drive (15 min) from all three ferry terminals. We have four acres of meadow, forest and orchard. At four hundred feet we overlook Outer Ganges Harbour and islands, and beyond to Vancouver's North Shore Mountains. Both guest rooms and garden hot tub share this view with the rest of the house. The comfortable guest rooms, which feature works of local B.C. artists, each have a queen sized bed with reading lamps as well as table and chairs. The rooms share a small sitting room, patio and bath. The sitting room has a TV/VCR, stereo, books and games. There is a mini kitchen with bar sink, refridgerator & microwave, as well as coffee maker and kettle. We provide bathrobes and slippers for our guests. Our resident cats love attention, as do our two pet sheep.
