“Gregarious and gracious hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

We stayed one night at this B&B while visiting a relative in Powell River. Although right on a 'main' road, it was very quiet, as Powell River is a small community. The water views (and they are very expansive) are right across the street and you can use the telescope in the host's livingroom to take a look at what's happening. The queen bed was comfortable and the room was a pretty average size for a bedroom, but outfitted with all the basics for travellers including robes, slippers, extra pillows, small table and chairs, ceiling fan, as well as a flat screen TV mounted on the wall. We stayed in the "Sunrise Room", and the bathroom was right next door. A sliding door can be pulled closed between the host's livingroom/kitchen and the guest's area here. Bathroom is large and clean with a well-stocked amenities cupboard and nice in-floor heating infront of the toilet. There is a vertical blind that can be closed off between the Sunrise Rm. & it's bathroom and the other room (Serenity Suite) available (this one has it's own ensuite). Please note the bedrooms are at the back of the house, but the view of the water can be enjoyed from the front room, or walk across the street and stroll the beach.

Breakfast was beautiful, delicious and amazing with many added little touches. The host, Roger, was a real card and quite attentive. Shirley, his wife is equally wonderful and baked heart-shaped, healthy banana muffins for us 'to go' the morning we left. I would definitely recommend this nice little place.

Please note that their payment policy is cash, no cards for payment, although they are used for reserving spots.

Room Tip: Serenity Suite has a private ensuite if you don't want to walk next door to the bathroom

“Wow - Best Practice in Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

It felt special from the minute we phoned to enquire about accommodation. We were overwhelmed to experience the extraordinary warmth of their welcome, genuine concern for our comfort, good humor and professional service at all times. We felt part of their family and that makes it one of the most special establishments we have ever stayed in during our travels. We have no doubt where we will stay the next time we visit the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. Sincere thanks and best wishes for the future.

“Looking forward to our next trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

Without a doubt, the most welcoming and friendliest B & B we've ever stayed at! Meticulous attention to detail and comfort. The food was outstanding and food allergies did not present a problem to the chef. Thank you so much, Roger and Shirley, for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable!

“Just perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

Perfect accommodation, view, food and hosts! A pity that we could only stay one night!
Roger and Shirley do their utmost to make their guests feel at home, and the excellent breakfast, conversation, and humour made our short visit one that we hope to repeat sometime in the future.

“Home Away from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

We can't believe how strangers can make you feel so at home. B&B's can be nice and clean but to us it's the "people" that make the difference and Shirley and Roger did that. We were over for the U13 Soccer Provincials and Roger even came out to see our final game. Their home is imaculate with plenty of attention to detail and the breakfasts top-notch quality and taste and beautifully presented. We highly recommend and will stay here next time we're lucky enough to be back! Carol in White Rock, BC.
