I was travelling solo in the Southern Gulf Islands and stayed 2 nights at Driftwood Village. My room had everything I needed. I was travelling by foot, so the distance to shops and the ferry was perfectly manageable. Tue room is cozy and the bed is very comfortable. It rained while I was tied, so I was not able to enjoy relaxing on my cute patio or in the beautiful garden areas. For nature lovers,

Great place to escape to

Quiet and comfortable cabin. Bring some bottled water though, as the tap water has a strange taste

This is an older property in a nice area with pretty grounds. Our unit had a tiny kitchen which was a little hard to maneuver in, but it was workable. Communication was good as far as instructions to do self check-in.

Driftwood Village was a pleasant surprise at Mary Ann Point on Galiano Island. We stayed in the Deer Cottage which is just perfect for two people. The cottage was much larger than I expected with a kitchenette and a full-sized bathroom - - which was in excellent condition and extremely tidy. We had our own private parking spot as well as a patio deck with table and chairs. It was the perfect shady nook for a summer day. It’s always better to have a car, but you can reach the property easily on foot. Probably 40-minutes on foot. Beach Site 14 on Galiano offers a stunning view of Active Pass with large ferry boats passing through it - - as well as the possibility of a pod of orcas. We stayed 4 days, but I think we could have enjoyed the cottage for several weeks. They have larger cottages which I also hope to investigate next summer. Heather made our arrival and departure easy. If you are looking for quiet privacy, a cozy cottage, in lovely surroundings, I encourage you to consider Driftwood Village.

Nice property. Friendly staff, quiet and close to everything, nice hikes nearby. Comfortable bed but cabin was extremely hot and stuffy due to only one window and a small fan. Otherwise a very good stay!

Very sweet little cabins. Lovely property. Not too far to get to a beach. For staying in the summer, though, I do wish there were screens on the windows. Other than that, it was a great stay!

Atmosphere. Love the cozy cabin feel with the fire place. Good selection of wood as well. What I didn’t like was I found dirty Kleenex under the bed. Also there is carpet in the cabin which I felt was dirty.

Beautiful property with cottages in desperate need of renovation. It looks like nothing has been updated since the 80’s. Screens on the windows and sliding door would be a big improvement. Communication via text was excellent and the extra coffee packets were very much appreciated. Advice to bring bottled water was right on!

We arrived early at 10:30am and contacted Heather. She had the room ready for us in half an hour, so no need to wait till 3 pm to check in. The property was quiet. Sitting on the balcony and listened to music in the morning was my favorite. We had the cabin with 2 rooms. Living room and the 2 rooms were decent size. The kitchen has everything you need to make breakfast and small meals. WiFi is solid. Only negative is hot water kind of runs at night, but I believe that's common on the island.

Very nice little cottage, clean and comfortable. I would suggest trying to add another comfortable chair in the living room area as the couch is very small for 2 adults - and we are below average size

I loved how many shore access points there were on the island. Everything was very dog friendly, Little to no traffic. Cool culture and history with beautiful views beautiful different beaches to chill at from pebbles, sandstone and fine sand. Absolute gem of an island

Comfortable and sweet!

2 mins away from the terminal. The host got the house ready for us way earlier and allowed us to move in right after the ferry arrived the island. Check in was quick and easy. The office is very cute and very convenient. The separated houses were little but very comfortable. We loved our staying in the property. Our kids enjoyed the badminton and volleyball games. The little ponds and gardens are very beautiful. We will definitely recommend this property.

I stayed at the garden suite, their biggest cottage on site and was very happy with my stay. The cottage is super spacious and I love the sky light they have in the living room area. Also the kitchen is well equipped for cooking your own meals. Furniture is not new but the entire suite is super clean. I feel like living a home away from home. There are apple trees on site and the staff even showed us where to pick nice apples! Staff can also be reached easily by phone or txt. Check-in and check-out were smooth, just followed the email and note provided in cabin. Location is perfect for walking to Bellhouse park, easy hike to The Bluffs to overlook Active Pass. Also, many deers in the neighborhood. Just a note to bring your own coffee/tea, shower gel/shampoo. They do provide some but if you’re staying for multiple nights, may not be enough. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would love to come back again!
