B&Bs in Chemainus

Very friendly host, great place, convenient, comfortable and clean. Rich and tasty breakfast. Located in a cul-de-sac. There is a short path to the beach. Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for somewhere on Vancouver Island to relax, refresh, and renew your spirit, this is the place. Mel is an outstanding host who truly loves to welcome guests to her pride and joy, a beautifully restored and appointed Edwardian home that offers quiet comfort and a peaceful setting. I enjoyed a spacious room with large comfortable bed and its own bathroom, overlooking the garden. The entire house is furnished and decorated with antiques and are a delight to view - and most have an interesting story behind them. Mel cooks breakfast from scratch using local products when available, and will offer different types of hand crafted coffees to try and overall get your day off to a fantastic start. You can explore the local area, or stay in and relax in the parlour or the wrap around veranda with lots of cozy seating…you can even take a blanket to ward off the evening chill. And yes, there are plenty of hummingbirds to watch! The location provides easy access to the Ladysmith, Nanaimo, and Cedar area, and the Cowichan valley in general. The whole area is worth exploring for its natural beauty and local farms, markets and artisans. Uber hasn’t quite found its way here yet, though it’s supposed to start some time in 2025, so until then you will get the most of your visit by having your own car. That also allows you visit the nearby communities for other meals, and Mel can give you some great tips and recommendations. I look forward to returning to enjoy the comfort and hospitality of Hummingbird Gardens, and hope others love it as much as I did.

If I could give 6 stars to this amazing establishment. The view, the cozy rooms, the delectable breakfast that is made with loving care and artistry by Kelly the owner. This made our Valentine’s weekend on Salt Spring. The baby goats and lambs were an unexpected and delightful bonus treat for my wife and I. You will get a quintessential salt spring experience when you come here. We are coming back for our wedding anniversary in June!
