Absolutely stunning location, if you don't mind being a few minutes out of town the view is worth it! Rooms are tastefully done and quiet. Only thing that would have made it better was having a keurig or something for those with early mornings. :-)

My partner and I had an excellent stay at this bnb. I'm was personally never really one for them, though this stay definitely exceeded my expectations. The photos definitely don't do it justice as the space was a lot larger and more updated than anticipated. We found everything to be incredibly modern and really enjoyed the pool/hot tub. Would definitely stay here again!

A GEM in the Woods. Private, beautifully decorated rooms with access to a full kitchen on the main level was the perfect mix for us. A serene and peaceful location tucked away off the main road with ocean views from almost all the interior windows plus expansive decks to enjoy; you'll feel removed from city life and root yourself in nature. Rio and Lili were the most gracious hosts and went out of their way to make our stay a very memorable one. This husband/wife team are bringing this gorgeous retreat back to its glory days. We can't wait to return !

Prime location - 10 minutes from the center of Sechelt & even closer to the Hidden Grove trails and the Porpoise Bay Park beach - but a feeling of total peaceful solitude when sitting on the property's veranda and watching the sunset. Room was very clean & spacious with appealing modern decor. The continental breakfast provided by hosts Lili & Rio was exceptionally tasty. And they indulged in just the right amount of friendly knowledgeable conversation. Will definitely stay again on the next Sunshine Coast visit
