“Absolute TLC”
It’s the most welcoming and lovingly set up place we’ve stayed at during our whole trip. The bed is so plush and comfortable. The bathroom is squeaky clean. Karen is very helpful. We loved the flowers on the decking, and the deer coming to visit in the grounds.

“A perfect stop in Campbell River”
Lovely little apartment with everything you need onsite. Karen was so friendly and sorted out a little blip right away. You are well positioned to drive into town and to everything else you might need. The sea is just across the road from the property.
