This was the perfect spot for us, close enough to restaurants and ammenities and very well equipped when we got home at the end of a busy day exploring. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. A very quiet peaceful location and lovely helpful hosts. Highly reccomend, would definitely stay here again.

Very quiet in a beautiful natural setting. Attractive accommodation with all the essentials.
Lovely studio nestled in the trees. Arrived late and host left lights on which made it easy to find. It was very clean and even provided fruit, coffee and cream for the morning. Very conveniently located (5 minutes from Ganges). Would definitely recommend and would stay again!
This property was so comfortable and peaceful. It was a perfect place to recharge after a busy day in Salt Spring

Cozy place for me and my girlfriend during our weekend island trip. It's a great place to stay if you want to explore the island as its only a couple minutes away from the main town area. The owners were very friendly and checked up on us when we saw them. Would definitely come back here if we visit Salt Spring Island again
I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay on Salt Spring. Close to everything but secluded enough to be restful annd quiet Excellent little apartment, I could have stayed there for a month, quaint, spacious, and so so clean.
The location is quiet, peaceful yet still central, the hosts are easy to communicate with, helpful and friendly. The listing is exactly as described. I had a lovely stay, an amazing sleep and look forward to visiting again in the future.
A beautiful quiet stay. Rental was new, clean and had beautiful light coming in big windows. It had all the basic amenities necessary. The property owner was kind and helpful. Would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a nice simple, easy, quiet getaway on salt spring.

This clean modern studio is perfect for 2 people. Located on a quiet street surrounded by nature. It was a 5 minute drive from the main town (Ganges) so was conveniently located. It had everything you need to cook meals there, which we appreciated. The hosts were wonderful and helpful. We would stay there again.
We had a lovely stay at this studio while we were vacationing on Salt Spring. The hosts were very welcoming when we arrived and she showed us all that they had to offer during our stay there. From extra linens, towels, coffee, tea, cream, condiments in the fridge and your basic kitchen supplies. The bed was very comfortable and the area was very peaceful to have a relaxing stay while we were there. We would definitely stay there again in the future.
Amrita and Allan were lovely hosts! The studio flat is brand new, clean and was supplied with coffee, tea and basic amenities for cooking. It is a quick drive up the hill from Ganges, and centrally located to the tourist attractions on the island. This was our first stay on Salt Spring Island and we are already looking forward to our next visit. We absolutely recommend staying here!
We enjoyed a delightful week at the modern studio. The apartment is bright, clean and well appointed. The hosts were exceptional and inviting, making sure we had what we needed during our stay.
The location offers excellent access to nearby Ganges -- with a seven minute drive -- but feels private and isolated (and VERY quiet) in its forested location up the mountain.
We would definitely stay here, again.
A wonderful coach home gave us a home -like feeling.
The building is located in forest but there is only 7 minutes driving distance to Gange town centre. This place is very clean and quite without any insects no flyes no mosquito.
The place was very spacious and cozy. It was perfect to use as a home base while we explored all the places we wanted to see around the island. Also a quiet little oasis when we wanted to chill /nap for a few hours before heading out to dinner.
Amrita and Alan were very welcoming and even left us a card and bottle of wild cider because they knew it was our 1st wedding anniversary :)
Will definitely be staying here again!
Allan and his wife are some of the loveliest people we have encountered. They greeted us upon arrival and were very responsive the moment we landed on Salt Springs Island. The studio is perfect for two people , spacious with lots of closet space which is so important if you travel with many outfits :)
VERY CLEAN! and so close to Ganges which has some cute shops and restaurants you will definitely explore. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A BEAUTIFUL STAY !
A lovely, serene, secluded place to relax, and to use as a base for our adventures around the Island.
The owners (live in the home next door) are quiet, respectful and very accommodating. Fully equipped kitchen if you want to stay in, though Saltspring does have many quality and eccletic eateries (we enjoyed Rock Salt restaurant at the Fulford harbour). Saturday market is terrific - so is Ruckles Park. Del Vecchio is superb for Italian eating/take-home pasta, sauces, olive oils. So much more to explore and enjoy!
Just a few minutes away from the downtown core of Salt Spring, this studio apartment is a tucked away gem. The hosts were so lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. 😊 There was a coffee maker, kettle, some coffee, sugar, towels, a fan, and more. I also love how they decorated the place! The apartment has a lot of windows (all of which have blinds and screens, although a couple bugs snuck in so we kept the windows closed) which provided natural lighting and a view of the forest. We had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this place!
I really enjoyed my stay here at this very cozy studio. The area was quiet and peaceful and it had everything I needed. I was able to cook breakfast every morning and have coffee which is very important to me to have that balance from eating out too much. It was only an 8 min drive from the Ganges which was extremely convenient for me. Mostly all the places I ended up exploring (from north of the island to south) were really only a 15-20min drive away. Though I didn't see the lovely hosts when I first got in, they made sure to thank me and say good bye before I left. Would absolutely stay here again when I come back.

Really enjoyed my stay at Amrita and Allan’s place! They were very welcoming and thoughtful about the details of their place, with lots of coffee and kitchen supplies, an induction stove top (that got me hooked on getting one at home!) and even a bowl of fruit for guests :)
The place had a breezy feeling, with big windows and an open space, so it was very comfortable for a few days stay. The bed and linens were comfortable too.
Amrita was especially considerate, checking in to make sure everything was okay.
It was my first time on Salt Spring and I didn’t expect the hills (!), so definitely recommend to have a car to get around from their place.
This was my first time using Expedia/Vrbo for booking a private residence, so I wasn’t sure about how to communicate with the hosts in advance. I ended up emailing Allan, and he was very responsive, but perhaps having those instructions somewhere for guests on the booking page would be helpful.
Thank you, Amrita and Allan! :)
This is like staying in a treehouse. Every window is looking out at beautiful trees. The place is clean and comfortable and great value for that area. It is higher up in Salt Spring, so felt like we were away, but a close drive to everything like restaurants, the market, etc.
