Bowen Island Relax and Enjoy

This property offers a secluded, relaxing place to unwind. The room replicates its surrounding environment—a place to kick back and chill. My Caveat: There are a significant number of stairs to access your room. Minimize the luggage and accessories you have to take up. Parking is on an incline. It would be nice if the parking space were level. Overall, I would recommend it if you're looking for a place to relieve the Hurley Burley of life as it is today. Enjoy your stay.
