Reservations are held by a one night deposit: cash, traveller's cheques or a charge to your Visa/MC. No personal cheques or money orders. In some circumstances(such as a booking of seven nights or more), a non-refundable deposit may be required.

Please note that your Reservation Request(even with credit card number) is not a reservation until we confirm.

Cancellations are taken just as seriously. We normally require a one night deposit to secure your reservation. To obtain a full refund, cancellations for any portion of your reservation must be made by email to the address below at least seven (7) days prior to the beginning of your reservation. After check-in, we request the courtesy of three days notice of any departure earlier than originally reserved.

Check-out Time is 12:00 noon. Please enquire concerning complimentary luggage storage.

Parking is off-street and included in your room rate. As most of the street parking is Resident Permit Only, please pull up temporarily and we will point out our private parking area.

For Business, wireless internet access is freely available throughout the B & B. There is also a broadband high speed line in the living room for your laptop. Two guestrooms, Vienna and Shangri-La, are equipped with desks. Please enquire regarding free use of our fax and copy facilities.   

Breakfast is a generous example of  Canadian cuisine, friendly chatter and heaps of hospitality. Healthy, local and organic ingredients are used to prepare our yummy home-baking, fresh fruit selections and delicious main offerings. For early risers, coffee, tea, juice & milk join a self-serve buffet of baked goods, cereal & fruits. From 9 to 10:30 AM, we also serve a hot entree that will vary daily.

Dietary restrictions are gladly accommodated with prior notice. Our home kitchen is unable to prepare individual fast order dishes.

Smoking is permitted outside on the front porch, in the garden or on the private decks of two guestrooms (Sailor's & Shangri-La). We provide unscented tealight candles for ambience. No guest incense or other candles please.

A clean, green B & B: Yes - we reduce bags and packaging in all our consumer purchases, reuse towels until you indicate that it's time for a freshly laundered one, recycle household waste and compost garden waste. Our new gas furnace is 96.7% efficient. The technology in the B & B's air filtration system is eight times more effective than hospital grade HEPA filters, resulting in the removal of 99.98% of all allergens down to the size of the common virus. Inside air is cleaner than outside!

Gift Certificates are available in all denominations and are valid for up to one year. The Shangri-La Suite is particularly popular for celebrating special occasions. Please enquire for details.
