The place was amazing and the hosts equally so. The location, part way up Mount Maxwell, allowed for hiking trips, swim’s and access to Ganges for amazing cultural, shopping and food experiences. We would highly recommend this place!

My husband and I have recently spent a week at the cabin. It is located in the wooded area close to Ganges. We very much enjoyed our stay at this cosy and very private place. We had everything we needed and we instantly felt at home.I also appreciated the ease of communication with the host. We would love to stay there again some day.

We enjoyed our stay at Happinest. It was a quaint, rustic, comfortable little place. It had everything we needed. The driveway to it was a challenge at first but we got used to it. We would stay here again.

I LOVED this property so much! The moment I walked in I instantly felt relaxed... I literally sat down on the floor with those beautiful big windows surrounding me and took in the sunlight. This was a very well done level of upcycling that I have ever seen and so comfortable and welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here ❤️

The nest is a cozy delight. Just a couple of minutes to the center of Ganges and its beautiful harbour . We were lucky enough to have sunny days and the cabin caught the mid and late afternoon sun. Great spot to relax in.
