A very nice place overlooking the ocean - we could see the ocean from our comfy bed. A private entrance gives access to a large bedroom/sitting room, a kitchen and a standard bathroom. Clean and beautifully decorated. Very friendly hostess. Just minutes' walk from a good restaurant. The kitchenette is small but functional (no oven, but there's a hot-plate in... More

We spent two nights on Saltspring Island and loved this little self contained cottage! We did a lot of research before deciding on this one and are happy with our choice! Located on the north end of the island about 8km from Ganges, so certainly not close to all the town center's action, but can drive there in about 15... More

We spent our anniversary week on Salt Spring Island, and found the Boat House cottage very pleasing and relaxing. The bed was sooooo comfortable, we slept better than in years! About the only thing lacking was a dresser and closet for our clothes. (Altho there were pegs to hang things on, and we were able to made do!) We loved... More

Elizabeth was kind enough to accommodate our young daughter (who is an experienced traveller). The Blue Heron proved to be a great home base for my husband and daughter to explore the island while I attended a weekend workshop. It was wonderful to start the day enjoying my tea with an ocean view. The garden surrounding the entire B&B and... More

We highly recommend this clean and romantic B & B. The owner respected our privacy by greeting us at arrival and checkout. The cottage was stocked with milk, eggs, juice and a variety of breads and jam in the refrigerator. A barbeque in the private garden is handy if you want to cook fresh fish from the market in Ganges.... More

My wife and I stayed at the Blue Heron B&B in June of 2008 to do some kayaking. It was wonderful we had the Galiano suite and it was everything we expected and more. You couldn't find a nicer hostess than Elizabeth, very friendly and most helpful. We looked forward to her baked goodies in the morning, a perfect start... More

I've been a visitor to the Blue Heron several times and have become a friend of the owner. The rooms are beautifully decorated, bright and very clean. The cottage is private, quiet and the decor is lovely. Guests get a generous breakfast basket. The owner is very good at managing making guests feel welcome and giving them their privacy at... More

My husband & I stayed in the newly refurbished boathouse which we found to be completely private with it's own little courtyard. The delightful freshly baked breakfasts delivered to your door each morning were greatly anticipated and absolutely delicious! The fridge also came equipped with eggs, juice, coffee cream etc. Right across the street from the ocean and a short... More

This was our third trip to Salt Spring Island in the past six years, and our third stay at The Blue Heron. We found The Blue Heron through an on-line search our first year. The web-site was easy to navigate, had great pictures, and was most easy to book on-line. Liz Turner is an amazing Bed and Breakfast host. What... More

Just checked in for the easter weekend and we are thrilled. My wife and I don't necessarily care for the 'traditional' B&B experience (if I wanted to eat breakfast with strangers, I'd go to Denny's in my pajamas) so the set up at Blue Heron is perfect for us with breakfast in our room, at our leisure. Location is great,... More
