Bowen Island Hideaway is a Bed and Breakfast located just a 10 minute drive from Snug Cove on beautiful Bowen Island. The house is located in an isolated pocket of the island surrounded by forested mountains and overlooking Killarny Lake. It is quiet, serene and peaceful. The rooms are spacious and luxurious with a modern west coast feel.
Our rooms feature soaker tubs, king or extra long twin beds, private entrances onto south facing patios, radiant heated polished concrete floors and a small kitchenette.
For those who simply can't turn it all off you have access to our wireless network, television (no cable) and a DVD player. Outside enjoy the view of Killarney Lake and Crippen Park along with the sounds of the wind and the song birds.
Deer, humming birds, song birds and large birds of prey are regular visitors to our property. At night enjoy the expansive sky. See how many constellations you can find.
A gourmet breakfast is included with your stay and will be served in the privacy of your room or on the deck. All our meals are homemade and include fresh local ingredients such as eggs laid by our neighbour's hens and herbs from the garden.
Ferry pick up can be arranged for a nominal fee. Please arrange this at least 2 days in advance. If you are staying 2 nights or more it is advisable to have your own car or a bike on Bowen.
Heidi, David live with their young son Ryan on this little piece of paradise. They share the house with a free range rabbit, Bijou who will probably try to visit you on your stay here. The family enjoys swimming at Bowen Bay beach or Mt. Gardner dock and picnics by Killarney Lake. Heidi, who is the host of the Bowen Island Hideaway, enjoys exploring new baking and cooking recipes, painting and learning about the natural world around her.
Heidi is lucky enough to have 3 other hosts who help her at the Bed and Breakfast. George, Mary and Gigi. All 3 live on island and are happy to share with you their ideas on how to enjoy Bowen Island.
Environmental Philosophy
Bowen Island Hideaway strives to use environmentally neutral cleaners, organic gardening methods and provide mainly organic and local foods. All our vegetable and fruit wastes are composted and used in the garden and cleaning materials are reusable. Our water is drinkable. It is from a well on the property which is tested yearly. In addition, we have a built-in filtration and UV system which filters and sterilizes the water before it gets to any tap in the house. Our water is clean and free of chemicals. Please do not bring bottled water to the house. This just adds unnecessary waste.We are conscious of our carbon foot print and drive a hybrid gas/electric car.
