Bed and Breakfast on Silva Bay Taking Reservations

Having just opened our Bed and Breakfast on Silva Bay July 5th we have had our first official paying customers. After six months of preparing it was exciting to open our doors. An interesting story is behind the first official stay...

It's July 5th, 6 pm and hot. I've been landscaping and Melanie has been massaging clients. See pictures below. We decide to head down to the Fire Truck Grill, a food truck beside the water at Silva Bay. We arrive and find our friends who run another bed and breakfast having dinner. Because we're finally ready to take reservations they mention their pretty full up. But would we want customers sent out way. Yes of course, send away!

So we're home back when the phone starts ringing at 9pm. Kinda odd on small Gulf Island to have someone call you at that time of night. But we answer and it's two lovely folks who have been directed our way by our friends. Their bed and breakfast location showed up on Google Maps. (Both our B and B's are a 5 minute walk from the Silva Bay Marina). Ours didn't because we are so new. They came in by boat and are stuck in Silva Bay for the night. Do we have a bed? Yes we do and it's a king size bed . They walk over with their night bags. Love our BnB and stay an extra night. And so it began.

Things To at Our Bed and Breakfast on Gabriola Island

Gabriola is a charming island shaped by over 200 artists and artisans who call it home. Known as the "Isle of the Arts", it's a unique destination for those who appreciate artistry and craftsmanship and is just a short ferry ride away from Nanaimo.

Although its close location to Nanaimo may make it feel more commercial compared to other Gulf Islands, its art scene, impressive sights and fun activities make it worth visiting if you're travelling around Vancouver Island. With Gabriola's expanded ferry service, getting to the island is easier than ever and can be done as a day trip from Nanaimo.

Oh the View at Gabriola Bed And Breakfast

The view is quiet special as it not only looks directly out over Silva Bay but also looks across Law Point and Royal Vancouver Yacht Club on Tugboat Island. One could sit all day watching the tide go in and out. And when the wind blows be mesmerized by the ravens playing and riding the wind. The sunrises in fall through spring can be absolutely draw dropping. No filters needed to be spectacular. Of course the moon rises are incredible as well. Another highlight in the off season storm watching at Gabriola Bed and Breakfast as the pineapple expresses blow in from the south east.
