• ABOUT YOUR SPACE •
Built in the 60s, this house is well loved and the guest suite is renovated with special attention to the natural beauty of the West Coast. We acknowledge the butterfly effect of climate change and the importance of being in tune with Mother Earth. Most of the structure and furniture are up-cycled or local vintage-find to support local businesses and help reduce overall carbon footprints.
- The intention for this space is to be a mini retreat for you and your loved ones to relax, have all the time to enjoy the island, and be more grounded to keep moving forward.
There is no TV or cool high tech. This is intentional to encourage you to unplug from the modern city life and connect with nature instead. We do have strong Wifi, as well as dedicated work spaces.
- Your suite offers an open-concept kitchen and living-dining area. It is perfect for you to gather, have meaningful conversations, play board games, or just to wind down and enjoy the mindful moments.
There are many books and board games prepared.
- The kitchen is simple but comfortably furnished. It is stocked with coffee (grounded) and teas. The closest coffee shops are only within 5-minute drive.
- There are 2 bedrooms with double beds. Extra beddings and throws can be found in the closet.
Did we mention that there are lots of deers and rabbits in this neighbourhood?
That's right, have your camera ready!
• ABOUT YOUR HOSTS •
Hi friends, we are Tom and Alex. We are a young couple working in health and wellness. Our space is upstairs and your guest suite with separate entrance is downstairs.
We respect your privacy during your stay, but we are only a phone call away if you need help with anything.
The only one required in-person interaction is at check-in when you first arrive. This is because we want to welcome you and walk you through the space.
If you are up for a treatment for stress relief, body pain relief, and deep relaxation, reach out to us to book an energy healing session :) Alex is a Reiki & Sound healing practitioner, and the healing space is right upstairs.
• OTHER NOTES •
1. RECYCLING: it is MANDATORY to sort your compost and recycling. This is a simple way to show our respect to Nature and to the hardworking city staff. Every city is a bit different, as such we attach the guidelines along with your Welcome package.
There are sorting bins provided to you in the guest suite.
2. SAFETY & SECURITY:
• Security camera: there are 2 cameras - 1 under the carport looking out to carport and drive way, and 1 on the sun deck looking out to backyard.
• Alarm: there are smoke alarms in the suite and no carbon monoxide alarm as there's nothing running on gas.
• First aid kit, fire extinguisher: located in the laundry room.
3. POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: You might hear muffled noise from upstairs, happy kids playing outside, or buses running.
• HOUSE RULES •
The general idea is please treat this space like how you would like your home to be treated. "Leave the world a little better than you found it" :)
