The sunny dining room is simple but there is plenty of seating, food storage and colourful flower covered table cloths that make the area feel that bit more homely. You could easily whip up a three-course meal, the kitchen is that great. A big oven, stove top, kettle, microwave and ample cooking utensils. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would find in your kitchen at home. Heading through the lounge and to the back of the guesthouse there is a big and bright kitchen and dining area which leads out to a small deck and grassed area with picnic tables.

The warm and inviting setting that is the communal lounge is home to two big comfy couches, bookcases full of books, board games, information boards with details on local things to see and places to eat and a guitar hanging on the wall.ĭuring my three night stay there was always someone in the lounge area to chat with and I even got to enjoy another travellers soulful guitar playing while relaxing after a big walk around town. Stepping inside, I straight away felt like I was coming home. With a bright blue paint job and hanging flower baskets bursting with colour, it is hard to miss.

In the Cow Bay area you’ll find Wheelhouse Brewing, a popular local craft brewery that is full of rustic charm. Located on 3rd Avenue, the guesthouse is just a few minutes walk to both Cow Bay, popular for scenic water views, great places to eat and drink and local artisan stores and the downtown area where you’ll find all the amenities you could need, from supermarkets and pharmacies to more great places to eat and drink and even a small cinema.
