We were in Ladysmith for a wedding and it was 1 km from the venue. Waking up and seeing the animals entertained us for hours during coffee and breakfast . Leslie was amazing! Contacting them was super easy and response was very quick. Farm fresh...

I loved the location, set on a working farm with a direct view of the animals in the fields, a really beautiful setting. The hosts were really accommodating; they included eggs and goat's milk, coffee, teas and bottled water.

Loved the view from our private back patio, cattle and sheep! Having our own private hot tub was bonus. It is a very sweet place. Everything worked well. We enjoyed the private farm tour, and visits from Harry, the beautiful collie.

Wonderful friendly hosts, great location. Waking up and relaxing on a farm is something special, especially when the cows come over to give you kisses in the morning.

Super location and relaxing atmosphere. I loved the sheep grazing right outside the window. The host was lovely and very accommodating. The goats milk was delicious! Would definitely stay again!

We had a nice quiet time at the farm which is what we wanted. Leslie and Sandy were great and of course all the dogs and farm animals were friendly, there is a slight smell from the water when u walk in first time but you dont even notice it...

Mother and Daughter farming team. Sandy, mother, has been a farmer her whole life. While raising her daughters, she wrote Harlequin Romance novels and boarded horses. Now she is the old McDonnell that had a farm, with a oink, oink here, a moo moo there, and more! Leslie, daughter, sells real estate in Vancouver fulltime and divides her time on the family farm. Together this duo is unstoppable. They work on sustainable farming, food security and humane practices. All of the animals have names and purposes. They share an obsession for cooking good food.
The farm is located on Central Vancouver Island surrounded by other hobby farms and country living. The Cottage on the farm has been referred to as the jewel of Yellow Point for its breathtaking views.
