Hands down one of the nicest places I have had the honour of staying. Front desk staff was so pleasant and knowledgeable. The owner an absolute gem. From the early check in, to having the use of a Smart Car for a day, It was just a really laid back pleasant stay. You MUST check out the gourmet restaurant at... More

This is a small but lovely inn on the Galiano Island and only 5 mins walk from the ferry terminal. The view in the room is truly breathtaking. You can see the ferry comes in and out. It is an unique experience! The room itself is overall not too bad. Nice size with a queen bed, desk and area for... More

This is a lovely spot right next to Sturdies Bay Ferry Terminal on Galiano Island. Five star accommodation, service and excellent dining plus oceanfront views. Within walking distance to local shops and restaurants (there are a few). A much needed getaway/ retreat from the city....

Lovely villa suite (#19) with king bed, tastefully and comfortably appointed with a wonderful outside patio with jacuzzi tub and wood burning fireplace looking onto the water. I am sure that all in the Spa give good massages, but Cari Anne (sp?) is excellant. The floation pool is very peaceful, however I wish that they the had one outside as... More

I stayed at the Galiano Inn during the literary festival they hosted. The place was packed all weekend with a great atmosphere. The staff, despite the hectic schedule, were warm, friendly and never too busy for you. The place itself is beautiful. It somehow manages to blend with the surrounding area, and feels like a well kept secret. It's a... More

I spent the weekend at the Galiano Inn a couple of weeks ago and feel fairly mixed about the experience. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful and the grounds are nicely kept. I felt that my room was small and not really that great for the money. The bathroom was large (especially compared to the rest of the space).... More

Definite pass. Very quiet town. Beautiful but probably best to go around summer time. I expected to at least have fresh milk or cream for coffee instead of using powered milk. Cleaning ladies were friendly. Island needs to cater to winter guest to leave a lasting impression on every guest for better word of mouth. Front desk staff was polite... More

Galiano Island is very "kid-friendly", I would have to disagree. It is a very safe island. Hiking trails are so safe: we have no cougars, bears, wolves: nothing harmful, quite a change from Vancouver Island or the Mainland where you have to always be mindful. Our beaches are safe, no huge rush of surf...easy beachcombing when the tide is out.... More

We love surprises! And we love helping make those surprises "over the top" when a beau takes his lady away to Galiano. You have captured the essence of the Inn and our staff: each one of us tries to make it very special, yet comfortable, for each and every guest, with the hospitality we provide. Thank you SO much for... More
