A Very Peaceful Stay

It was so nice to get out of the city and away from traffic noise and city lights. All amenities were provided and the spring water was delicious. The old house is full of charm and tastefully decorated. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen very modern. We didn't get to use the wood stove because the weather was warm. All in all, it was a wonderful stay.

Gillies Bay: Best kept secret.

Very clean and tastefully decorated. Beds were comfortable. Well kitted out with appliances, cultlery and everything you might need. Parking on site for one vehicle, so if you are comfortable parking 2nd vehicle on the street, then it works well. Also not amenable to electric vehicles as there was no exterior outlet for charging an all electric. We loved the wood stove, which was very cozy and warm. I also particularly loved the character of the home with old fir floors. Very close to Shelter Point which is such a lovely place to walk to, as is Gillies Bay, which the home has a good view of, especially the sunsets. Texada is one of the coast's best kept secrets.

We love the 1941 heritage home and glad you enjoyed it as well. Texada has that peaceful and tranquil feeling that we love and are glad to share with others.
