A 24 hour period of merciful nothing opened up before our Vancouver Island trip last weekend, which we turned into a dreamy day and night on Galiano Island staying in an awesome, three bedroom cabin at Bodega Ridge…

How To Get There: A nice drive, curvy drive on Galiano after a quick trip on BC Ferries from Tsawwassen to Sturdies Bay (schedule)

Cost: $150-$200 a night (based on double occupancy).

Accommodation Type: Rustic cabins surrounding a multi-level lodge. Cabins are fully equipped with modern conveniences, cozy beds and full kitchens. Quiet like you wouldn’t believe.

Connectivity: Cell coverage OK. Tethering in cabins. Wireless in the lodge.

Things To Do: We were only there for 24 hours, but Bodega Ridge struck us as the kind of place that one wouldn’t really want to ever leave. Nonetheless, explore the island and hit up the quiet beaches after dodging the hundreds of deer that seem to play “get a load of me” games with the road. Most of all, however, you should stick within earshot of the dinner bell. Mook Sutton from Chambar & The Dirty Apron is on staff making breakfast, lunch and dinner for guests, plus cold, local beer is available and the coffee is roasted nearby.
