We are in our early 60's and have been designing and building houses on Gabriola island for 20 years. We enjoy being active outdoors camping, cycling, walking, and kayaking as well as discovering great food, the arts, and architecture.
We are keen to see more of the world and will consider all exchange offers (simultaneous or not), as well as housesitting your home. We would especially like to have more than one exchange on a trip to Europe/UK. Our time is mostly flexible. Contact us!

Unser Heim
Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
Beautiful, newer, 1850 square foot home (172 m2) with lots of natural light and wood, on a wonderful Gulf Island. The New York Times rated British Columbia's Gulf Islands as a top destination for natural beauty and tranquility. Gabriola Island is a 20 minute ferry ride from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. There is daily float plane service to Vancouver from Gabriola and airports in Vancouver, Victoria and Nanaimo, British Columbia.
We built and designed our house to take in the serene vista of the trees and distant mountains. The house is on one-level, spacious and comfortable. There are 2 bedrooms, each with a double bed. The shared ensuite bathroom has a shower and washer/dryer. The main bathroom has a tub and shower.
The kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities are custom-built with local maple and feature Mexican copper sinks. There are hardwood floors throughout the house.
We love sitting outside in the private garden eating, reading, and watching the birds and deer.

Attraktionen
Das sollten Sie sehen oder unternehmen, während Ihrem Tausch bei uns
Gabriola Island is called the "Isle of the Arts" and is a very vibrant community with many cultural events and festivals. Lots of year-round outdoor activities too (hiking, beach walking, biking, fishing, boating, golfing). Vancouver Island also has wonderful places to explore and things to do, including whale-watching. Vancouver is a 1 1/2 hour ferry ride or 20 minute plane ride away for the big city attractions. Victoria, the beautiful provincial capital, is 90 minutes by car.
