Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Rose Cottage is a lovely home on North Pender Island - a sought after destination in Canada's Southern Gulf Islands located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. Come by ferry or float plane as we are only 5 minutes from either dock. If you wish to extend your stay on the mainland we have another home near Vancouver. The Pender Islands are two islands joined by a bridge. They have an unique (in Canada) Mediterranean climate. If you love the outdoors then this is the place for you. Pender has many hiking/walking trails and 38 beach access points. Hike to a pristine lake for a swim ( the ocean is too cold for swimming) or rent a kayak for a guided or self-guided tour of the Gulf Islands National or Marine Parks. During the summer a pod of nearly 30 Orca whales frequently comes near shore. At Theives Bay you can watch from shore. If you like fishing charter a boat for world class salmon fishing. For golfers there is a great 9 hole course. There is also a Disc Golf Park

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our neighbourhood is rural with grazing sheep and eagles and ravens constantly flying overhead. Excellent walking and hiking is right on the doorstep. As well, you are only ten minutes by car to a shopping centre and restaurants. Although we do not have any equipment to offer you (ie Bikes) there is lots to do on the island.
