“Bike Riders Birthday Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

Fantastic and memorable experience for us to plan our birthday weekend celebration to include Arbutus Bluff B&B. Yes, Liz warned us our destination was at the top of the hill...but we rode it will ease only 35 minute from the ferry. Liz welcomed us like we were coming home.This B&B is first class. Fantastic view of water and islands. It took only minutes to relax. Loved the heated bathroom floor. The hot tub under the evening moonlight and early morning stars and sunrise was ever so sweet! Liz served a delicious, healthy breakfast, and encouraged us to not rush off. We will cherish our biking and B&B on Gabriola Is. for years to come. Try it ... you will love it.

Room Tip: Either room has first class views

“A paradise that was hard to leave!”

This B&B is simply fantastic. The rooms are elegant, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are sparkling! We booked one night, but as soon as we saw the place, we decided to stay for two night. Liz was just great in accomodating us. The food was to die for. We loved sitting in the hot tub at night looking at the moon and stars. We loved sitting on our little porch watching the ocean as we read. I just can't wait to go back!!

Room Tip: If you like to sleep in, get the west room. Liz is really good about telling you how the sun comes i...

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

This B&B was absolutely perfect! The room is very nice and clean, Liz prepares a wonderful and delicious breakfast each morning, and the location and view is great. The hot tub outside, which is on a hill overlooking Gabriola Island, was also a wonderful feature. I did a lot of research before selecting our accommodations, and I'm so glad I chose Arbutus Bluff, as it was well worth it. It was excellent and is highly recommended.

Room Tip: The rooms are very nice.

“Charming B&B in a beautiful secluded location”

person found this review helpful

We had a lovely stay at the Arbutus Bluff B&B despite coming on a very rainy weekend. The East Coast Room was very cozy but spacious, with a nice fireplace, a comfortable bed, and a clean, large shower with two shower heads. Liz was very welcoming and provided us with all of the information we needed to navigate the house and the island. Breakfast was also very nice. Freshly picked raspberries from the farm next door and lemon muffins were the highlight. All in all, if you want a modern, clean B&B with lovely hospitality, Arbutus Bluff is a wonderful place to stay on Gabriola Island.

Room Tip: There are only two rooms at the B&B so book early during the high season if you want to stay her...

“Quintessential West Coast - super people, good local food, incredible view, private, quiet. Just perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2011

Up a winding drive through the forest at the top of Gabriola Island in Canada's Gulf Islands. This B&B has only two private rooms - but they are special. In the winter, grab a book and curl up under the duvet next to a cozy gas fire (love the cotton bedding and down pillows). Wake up after the best sleep of your life to a morning view over islands and ocean, tempting you out onto the deck. I love the walk-in shower and heated bathroom floors - a treat no matter what time of year it is. Breakfast is wonderful with perfect French Press coffee. In the evening, try a glass of wine in the hot tub. If you like to be online, high speed wireless will make you even happier. Skype home, or check out what's on satellite TV. It's like having your own small cottage, except everything is done.
This is a great place to stay whether you're cycling, driving or walking. Ten minutes to the ferry or shops, but so very private. Liz and Bil are wonderful hosts and have created an oasis here at the top of the island. Great value too :-)
