Wetherly Inn

An absolutely idyllic spot. My wife and I spent a wonderful 3 days at the Inn and would have loved to stay longer. The gardens are truly remarkable, like Butchart Gardens minus the crowds! We were awoken every morning by a knock on the door and a tray of delicious coffee and homemade cookies left at the door. We sat out on our private balcony savouring the gorgeous view and the peaceful babbling of the waterfalls. Breakfasts were a delicious selection of homemade breads and jams, fruit, granola etc, with full cooked breakfasts also available (we didn't feel the need with the sumptuous spread provided). The rooms were beautifully appointed and very comfortable; in fact the entire inn was lovely, with plenty of original artwork. As for the grounds, you could retire to read in the Adirondack chairs on the little dock on the koi-stocked pond, or enjoy the hot tub or mosaic-tiled swimming pool, all in their own private nooks in the beautiful gardens. The Inn is conveniently located just a short drive from Ganges (and, in fact, all of the island). Finally, any description of the Inn wouldn't be complete without mention of Stephanie, our wonderful host, and her husband Les. We hope to make it back to the West Coast again soon, and we can't imagine being in this part of the world without staying at The Wetherly Inn again.

Wetherly Inn has been the highlight of my stay on Salt Spring Island. It is a beautifully crafted, family run but very sophisticated luxury boutique hotel. Very secluded and romantic both the room and the gardens/pool etc., so much that the hotel is the best choice for romantic couples I believe. It gave me the chance to rest and take a refuge from the busy daily life as a solo traveler. Renting a car is necessary if you plan to take excursions during your stay and especially if you plan to dine in the evenings (no food is served except for the very delicious, healthy and home made breakfasts), but there is a very chic guest kitchen where you can prepare and have snacks. Especially if you plan to attend a wine- cheese tasting tour like I did, you can serve yourself (and maybe share with other guests :)) the delicious goat cheeses and wines of the island but please do not forget to go out in the garden and enjoy a glass of wine or two on the romantic pond/ at the fire pit ( hotel management even prepared plastic glasses for wine experiences in the garden and glass options for your room or elsewhere in the hotel, which is like a chalet). The fire places and the big bathtubs in the rooms are another romantic touch (which can make a solo traveler feel a bit lonely :)) but overall this boutique hotel deserves an award in many ways, a big congratulations to the owners; one of the best hotels of its kind in more than 25 countries and 70 plus cities I have been to around the globe.

Unforgettable! Beautiful grounds, Lovely couple and family who owned and ran the Inn.

This was our 2nd time after a very memorable stay a couple of years ago and we were not disappointed. The most wonderful experience in beautiful grounds, excellent breakfast and Stephanie.was a great host. The room was very well appointed - highly recommended for a few days away from it all while being pampered.

Loved the gardens. The room was spacious and the bed was so comfortable. The delicious breakfast featured local and homemade options. Care was taken to ensure that every detail was perfect!

What a lovely property. The pool and garden areas are like out of Fine Gardening magazine. I wish I could have stayed longer
