If you haven't been to Salt Spring in decades, forget the Harbour House of old, with the jugs of cheap beer in the rednecky bar, the beige-Tuesday lounge and the basic restaurant (I'm talking circa 1989 here)... It's now a destination! The rooms don't have the ambience of a B&B, but the beds and pillows are really good, the rooms... More

Nothing special but a nice place to stay while visiting the island. Rooms are average but clean. A great view of the harbour and a 10-15 min walk to town. Amazing restaurant!!!! Breakfast, lunch or dinner all are delicious. Once you eat here you won't want to eat anywhere else! Staff are all very friendly and its great to have... More

We booked through Groupon so the price and value were fantastic. The breakfast was also delicious (not included, but fab hollandaise). Farm was charming too. Proximity to Ganges was perfect to walk there and back for dinner. The noisy fan in the back was the only issue with us. I didn't bother complaining, because I knew they were sold out.... More

We found this hotel thanks to Groupon coupon. This was our first trip to Salt Spring in about 15 years, and we are so glad we discovered it again. We had a wonderful time, and will definitely be back and would return to this hotel. Overall customer service experience-excellent. They have great people working the desk-we spoke to a number...

A clean and friendly place. I was fortunate to get a room overlooking the Harbour.The food there is very good as some of the it is grown in their oganic garden. They even produce their own honey. It's a short walk to downtown Ganges where there is no big chainstores( 7/11,McD's,Walmart etc) just nice Art galleries,cafes,restaurants and a small grocery... More

Harbour House's location is second to none for a hotel in Salt Spring Island. It's a 5-minute walk to the Ganges Village. It's also at a good distance from Long Harbour and an easy hub to explore the rest of the island. They had a locked bike rack, which was very convenient for folks like us, who biked all the... More

The Hotel overall is pleasant enough although seems a little "faded". The dining room needs a sprucing; ditch the hanging plants..very 70's, but the food is excellent and the service was very good. There was a pianist/singer on the Sunday night. Not a great voice to be listening to over dinner, the piano would have been enough. Our room was... More

We where extremely disappointed in our $170 stay. The staff used language that was belittling when they realized we where using a groupon. A service they arranged. They didn't seem to get that we where still in fact paying full price, (we booked late) and not just the $20 tax they tacked on. To me a standard of a standard... More

This review appeared after we spoke yesterday but you must have written it before then. I explained that the noise was from the kitchen fan which is turned off at 11 pm but was turned on again by the baker around 4:30 am. We had worked on this all week to try to reduce the noise level but, obviously, it... More

We arrived by boat and had booked far in advance. We booked a "standard" room, and paid a fairly premium price. The toilet wobbled and ran. The sink didn't drain. The view of the parking lot was not what one might expect in the BC Gulf Islands. When we asked about a possible room change in a basically empty hotel,... More
